They can and it depends on the plant. Thicker leaf plants they leave alone for the most part like your anubias. I'd suggest a mystery snail, very similar but not gonna touch your plants. I believe mystery snails are actually technically a species of apple snails. Just without the plant appetite.

Shrimp get stressed with nothing to hang onto. So they get shipped with something like a mesh to help keep them as low stressed as possible. Even when I bought shrimp from my LFS they threw in some java moss so they'd be okay on the short ride home.

I would look for more niche strains or try to make your own. I don't see much for nebula steel guppies around. But you could easily take two different strains you like that you think would work well together, cross them, and perfect the strain.

No go on a community tank in a 3.5 gallon that is way too small. Or a 5 gallon. One betta will be all. Maybe a snail. But don't do an apple snail with live plants because you won't have any live plants left in a day or two. If you want a community tank 10 gallon minimum. 20 gallon even better...

That's not a problem at all don't worry about it. Especially since you have some live plants in there to provide some more oxygen in the water. But not every tank has an air pump there's different kinds of filters.

I'd say aquabid but most sellers there are selling from thailand or vietnam so you have the hastle of importing. Ebay has some good sellers at good prices but a lot of them have paused selling at the moment with colder weather. If you want to spend more money on a high quality betta there's...

As others have said read up on the nitrogen cycle article linked previously. That will answer a lot of your questions. Your fish died of ammonia poisoning. Very common for first time fish keepers. Pet stores tend to neglect telling customers that the tank needs to cycle first. So now you should...

Josh is getting another tank! Whatcha putting in it?

Haha I feel you. Before you know it a few hundred bucks have vanished. All things considered the tank isn't too bad price wise. But everything else adds up very quickly.

I do. The link is for the brand of tanks not the store. Should be able to get it locally easily. I don't like the idea of shipping tanks to myself. Delivery drivers aren't very careful with anything they've got.

Nah you're fine. You've been removing the nitrates with water changes. Plus the plants eating it up. It's not gonna generate 40ppm nitrate with one betta overnight. Your nitrate levels are a result of your bioload. 5ppm is plenty fine. I have a 10 gallon that stays around 10ppm fully stocked. If...

I'm just gonna leave this right here to encourage that lowboy tank Link

Maybe they're just so fed up with their kid that they just ignore it. They can't deal with it anymore. Everybody has a breaking point. They might feel so past everything that they're hoping to just focus on other things and it will go away. Kids are a lot of work. And when you have one that's...

Don't judge I eat breakfast at noon dinner at 6-7 and second dinner about midnight. Also am I alone in that I like using stud finders? When I moved my grandma into her new home a few years ago I went over multiple walls just marking all the studs so she knew where she could hang her pictures...

If you've got like an Indian Almond leaf you could put that in and float it. That might help protect the bubble nest. Try and baffle flow along the surface as well.

Hmm maybe. Pretty sure they do divers in the caribbean reef. Its a huge cylinder right when you walk in. The massive shark one is down an elevator now. Can't remember how you used to get there they remodeled like a decade ago I think? But you can walk under that one in parts if that's what...

To post videos you have to upload it to youtube and then post the link here. But they're probably doing it on purpose. Honestly if that filter isn't too much flow for my 10 gallon there's no way it's too much for your 20.

I wouldn't have thought so either. But they did feed the fish pretty soon after the tank. Food breaking down in the tank could have spiked it pretty high. Still haven't heard anything of what filter the tank has or what the flow is like in the tank. If it's pretty low flow I think an ammonia...

As long as they aren't struggling against the current it should be totally fine.

Don't tell me you said something similar for the Athletico game too Honestly though after that beautiful goal by GinI to start the game I thought it was over. Couldn't have been more wrong.
