Thank you very much!! I am most worried about our Betta and scared to push it as he is still healing up from fin rot that happened when we were doing a fish in cycle before we realized how wrong we were doing things in a smaller tank when we first got him. Just don't want that to happen to him...
We have a Betta, nerite snail and some hitchhiker ramshorn snails. I've been obsessively testing the nitrates and I feel like I don't know at what point to change it. It still looks very close to 20 maybe even starting to go more red almost to me in person but I find 10 and 20 look very similar...
Sweet that's great to hear!! It is seriously the strangest thing. I removed all of the gravel completely and watched for longer than I'd like to admit and I didn't see any other dead planaria or any other scuds it's like we had one of each which seems impossible
I am sorry, I feel like such a pain in the butt lol. As I was cleaning the tank out that was treated with no planaria I found one of these little zoomy guys in the gravel.. what is it and are they an issue? My plan is to swap the substrate and eventually make it a shrimp tank! Thanks again!
Never would have even thought about that, good point!! Thank you!
I counted 5 little ones this morning while feeding our Betta so I am sure there are probably quite a few of them in there. Going to end up with a snail tank too if I end up accidentally overfeeding . Maybe our Betta will develop...
Absolutely no judgment from me but I don't think I could do that personally haha I am way too much of a softie for anything living and would probably cry . I'm sure the fish appreciate the treat though! I would likely rehome them to my parents pond and just hope they survive/stay blissfully...
Hi everyone! It would appear that along with planaria we got some snails too with the plants. What type of snail is this? It is super tiny currently but worried there are probably more we aren't able to sleep and if that will cause issues for our Betta friend and nerite.
Should we treat our...
I have a follow up question if anyone doesn't mind giving me some advice!
The no planaria is due to arrive this evening at any point now. My game plan is to change the substrate in this tank prior to shrimp as well - should I do the no planaria then change the substrate? Or leave it as is for...
Thank you!! I haven't seen any others at this point and tested the other tank as well so I have moved the betta and snail(unrelated to this, we just decided to upgrade him to a bigger home in a busier area of our house since he seems to enjoy the interaction!) to the larger tank we have cycled...
That is a great point too! We had been doing daily for a while then went down to every second day and now usually I will still test each day and just do it as needed. We will move him this week! Thanks :)
