I tried one once, it didn't end well, where I live I have noticed issues with most of the algae eating snails besides Rabbit snails, when I have gotten mystery snails and Nerite snails they don't end up living long and are often sickly and lethargic after I get them or special order them from...

Np! That's good that he is separated, if you have aquarium salt you could try adding some, it will improve his gill function and might help boost his system.

Right now I have 3 shrimp, 2 rabbit snails, a baby rabbit snail or 2, and 8 adult peppered cories, do you recommend me to get any other fish or snails to possibly help with the situation if the first method doesn't work out?

Oh . . . that is good to know . . . thanks for letting me know! What would you recommend doing if the other way doesn't work?

Oh! Thank you :) I will work on that hopefully soon! I will try this and if this doesn't work I will look into getting a UV filter.

Thank you! The tank is in between two windows, we recently replaced out windows and the new windows let in more light so that might be causing some of the problem! The windows are covered most of the time but I am notorious for pulling the shades up part way. How much should I reduce the light time?

I don't have a fancy tank by all means, I can't change the light intensity which is a bit inconvenient but I can probably try one of the other methods you mentioned! Thanks for your advice! I will look into UV filters :)

No problem! The tannins are what will mainly help the fish, so in my opinion I wouldn't boil them. Is it possible to move him to a QT tank? I don't know how to help him if he has a deflated bladder, sorry :( . I would just try to keep him as comfortable as possible, if he becomes stressed it...

I would keep the tank very clean, it will improve this fishes chances of survival, does the honey gourami seem swollen? Or just discolored? I would add some indian almond leaves if you have any, this fish seems very stressed, the almond leaves might make it more comfortable.

I have been having issues for a while now, but the algae issue has been steadily growing worse, almost every week now I have to scrape off the tanks glass to actually see the fish! Most of my plants are covered in fuzzy black algae, and the issues aren't even just in front of the filter, the...

That's good news! I think you are right, he might not be able to go into his shell, if that's the case this will most likely cause issues for him . . . I don't know what you could do for him, he seems pretty rough, this might be one of those watch, wait, and or separate situations, the slant...

I would put them in a breeder box if you have one for two reasons. One reason I would do it is that if they die you don't have to go looking for them, and the second is that if it is one of the fish in the tank it might make them more protected. I think what you smelled was rot, I think the two...

I would probably be saying that too! :D That is another good option of what it might be! I can't wait to get an update and see what it is!

Lol, I totally would be too! Oh! That might be what it is!

That is so weird . . . kind of looks like a big Aphid. . . .

Thats a nice set up! I wish I had enough room to do that! I am not sure what I want to get, endler appearance wise.

Interesting! So your aiming to get the shark tail gene in some of the other fish? Do you know what a shark tail fin is the result of?

I am fairly new to endlers, but I have had guppies for a while! That's interesting about their tails! Do you know if Guppy females are the same way? Or is it just the endlers? It would be cool if I could get a bigger variety of fins in the endler tank!

Good to hear! Is there some way I could stop the tail issues from happening? I am a bit worried the issues are going to end up happening because every one of the endlers in the tank have small spade tails. What a beauty! How long ago did you introduce the larger finned guppy?

Wow! Those are gorgeous fish! I think I am not very ambitious with what I hope to get out of them breeding, all of the endlers in the tank are Cobras except for a couple mixes that I have no clue are, the guppy I hope to introduce is part Cobra grunn guppy, and part Tuxedo guppy and maybe a bit...
