Yeah so far she doesn’t look emaciated so I hope that’s a good sign. I also have some frozen brine shrimp which I haven’t tried yet so I could give that a shot. You said you see them hunting little critters every now and then. Out of curiosity, do you happen to know what they are ? (Like snails...

Hello! So I am a relatively new DP owner, and this is a common issue I’ve seen with keeping dwarf puffers. But anyways, I have a male and female in a 10 gallon tank. It was one of my older tanks (I had moved the animals originally there to a newer larger tank) that had been infested with pond...

Checked water parameters and everything seemed to be in order. I have no idea myself what could have caused her to die. Maybe old age? I wasn’t sure how old she was when I got her (owned her for a year) and I bought her from Petco.

Yes, my tank is a completely cycled one year old planted tank with plenty of algae. The trapdoor falls open when I move her around, so I don’t know if that is a bad sign ?

So yesterday I got back home from work and found my Nerite Snail on her back with the trapdoor closed. Something I have never seen before so I wasn’t sure what to make of it. I put her upright cause I know Nerite snails have a hard time getting back up. Hours passed and she didn’t move. Next day...

Ahaha, I see. I had no idea bettas did this. As for the stocking of my tank, I would agree that in general its risky, but these guys have been living together for so long with no issues. I am glad I took the picture when I did, haha. Had no idea the little critters in my tank got along that...

So, I have had a 10 gallon tank for year now with a betta and two African dwarf frogs. They have always gotten along. I ended up seeing this (picture below) going on in the tank and was wondering what in the world my betta is doing ? No one is hurt and the frog didn’t complain when my betta did...

That’s true I might rearrange things just to get him curious again, but the thing you mentioned about the fins being too heavy I think that might very well be it. I am looking at him swimming right now and I see he has a hard time maneuvering when it comes to turning and when he stops the lower...

I’ve attached a photo of my betta Narcissus... He normally will sit on a leaf for the majority of the day like in the picture. I mean there will be times he is moving around the tank but I feel like the pauses between these have grown longer. I’ve owned him for 6 months so I assume he is...

Yes! You are right, he is an ambersnail. I just looked them up and they look exactly like him. Explains why I have seen him crawling on my aquatic plants from time to time.

Yeah, so actually most of the time he is in the tank (under the lid) it was only yesterday that he ventured outside. And I have actually seen him completely submerged more than once, which is what confused me and made me think he was aquatic, but maybe it wasn’t intentional. Other times I have...

I’ve seen him in the water before. He used to be really small but he has grown quite a bit it seems! I believe it was a Hemianthus Callitrichoides. I got it from an aquarium shop near here and it wasn’t really submerged in water so I’m wondering if somewhere along the line they got these...

I was starting to think that just now. Considering his eyes are on his stalks which is kinda different from the other aquatic snails in my tank. I am just at a loss how he ended up in my tank, haha.

I’ve tried looking all over the place to see if I can ID this little guy but I really haven’t found a snail that looks like him. Does anyone possibly have any idea what he could be ? He appeared after I put a plant in my tank a while ago.

Yeah, the only fish who ever really goes up there is my betta, and then there is one little pest snail but his poops are similiar to nerites but smaller. But I never thought that a betta's poop would look like that. It does look rather strange though because it is making a weird pattern. And...

Yes, if you rub the leaf it will come off, but it has been growing back pretty quickly recently. Yeah so the setup is about 3 1/2 months old, and is a 10 gallon tank. Does that seem a reasonable age for the diatoms to be growing like this ? I've only recently (two weeks ago) started putting...

Here is another picture of a leaf with a bunch of those things seemingly growing on it

Does anyone know what that long growth on my pennywort's leaves is? It's been spreading in my tank over to rocks and other plants' leaves. And I am also wondering what would be the best way to get rid of it ? Thanks in advance!

I see! Well that is good to hear. Pretty new to owning these little guys so it’s reallt helpful to hear from someone who has experience owning them. Thanks!

This is a possibility I have been considering. I have never really seen the betta acknowledge the Kuhlis when I was around for the first two months so I am not sure if he is the culprit. But I find him a little more likely, than the frogs because even though the frogs are likely to accidentally...
