Gold inca snail (or mystery using in general terms) It's been about 2 weeks now, in the pic is Nugget. Other one not in this pic is Cheerio. Cheerio (confirmed female) nearly doubled in size compared to Nugget. So currently I'm assuming Nugget is a male but looks like a female to me. I'll try...

It might not, since it's really far down to that point, but there is still a possibility that his fin will grow back though. I haven't actually seen anyone's betta that got to that point and didn't grow their fins back.

I would not for this particular one, seeing that it even needed an ingredient list (meaning other things are on the cuttlebone). Normally you can if it has no other flavoring, sent, etc. I have a cuttlebone for my snail and shrimp tank.

It looks like eggs were forming over the past few days, though not sure as I haven't bred ghost shrimp before. Didn't planned on it when I got them but I don't mind if they just happen to do so. When it eats the stuff it ate is front of that dark green area so I know it's not food.

When I first got my mystery snails, they were about the size of a dime. Now they're a little bigger than a nickle. Probably because I fed them a lot during the first week I got these two? They grew pretty fast. They are called gold inca snails at the petstore but they're basically the same...

Everyone's going crazy for the tums tablet and the algae wafer One other nerite is on her way Never seen my nerites on here at the same time

I think nerites are kinda difficult to get them try other things. I tried sprinkling some food on the bone and my mysteries starting eating them right away. Hazel seems to be the only nerite that has taken interest on them, the others still slide over them with no interest.

All day today I noticed my nerite snails visiting the food plate, I guess they finally gave it a try. I haven't seen my 2 ghost shrimps since noon, but I saw a molt lying around on the gravel so they're most likely just hiding. The other two are just out and about doing shrimp things.

I see no issue with doing that. Since that's not the only thing they're eating.

I use to use the half gallon tank for my moss balls. Got a tiny fish bowl for them, so now I'm just planning to use the half gallon tank to grow algae on pebbles/ceramic filter rings for my snails lol.

They will eat anything you give them, or at least try too if they happen to be picky. Just make sure you get a stable food for adf though. And provide those things as supplement to the main food. Omega one shrimp pellets are good for them too, though they sink right away. A petri dish of some...

Java fern is what I have, so I'll say this. Grows super slowly, really tall, you won't ever have to worry about trimming it. Make sure you don't have it right under your plant tank lights if you have them. I noticed mine going pale. They do fine with regular tank led lights too. I would also...

The one degree difference won't hurt. You'll be fine doing a water change if the new water is around 77-78. If you have an extra heater sitting around, you can just use the heater to heat up the water to 78-79 degrees so you don't have to save the water ahead of time.

You need to do at least once a week water changes, especially since you have a couple of fish and snails. Snails produce a lot of waste.

It's weird sometimes. Some test kits can be faulty and give false readings. My ammonia test gives a false .25 reading when it's actually 0. I'm not sure about API quick start. But a lot of people had success using Tetra safestart plus (there's one without the 'plus', not that one).

There enough bacteria to convert ammonia to nitrite, but not enough bacteria that converts nitrite to nitrate. Although there's nitrate reading, so your cycling is currently going. It needs more time, your cycling is almost done but it still might take a few more days/weeks. About your half tap...

If it's slowing down every week, you should wash your filter media in your old tank water once a week when you do your water changes.

if it's still moving, it's probably molting. They can get that milky white color when it's about molt. New shrimp can die randomly from transport stress, etc. I had 1 die the day after I got them. The rest should be fine though.
