That first picture is Max with his fins perfectly displayed and I was lucky to get it. The corys are doing well and I added two more but they are rescued pepper corys and they’re not loving the camera. They do, however, seem to generally stay with the other corys so I hope they’ll be ok. I’ve...

Max seems to be building a bubble nest.

I bought these two Corys today. I wanted four but they only had these guys left so I’m going to go look next week at some other places. My betta was curious at first and followed them around for a bit but now he’s ignoring them.

Max is doing well. I’m feeding him two days and having him fast a day, and I’m keeping an eye on him to make sure he isn’t looking bloated. I give him bloodworms sometimes and he likes me to tweezer feed him one worm at a time. The ghost shrimp have all died. I thought at first maybe Max killed...

I’ll do that. Thanks!

Does that mean I should take it out of the substrate? Thanks in advance.

The algae problem is just about gone except for a bit that I’m not worried about because of the snails. Max is in there (he was behind the floating plants when I was trying to get a good picture) doing pretty good except he’s always hungry.The research I’ve read seems to tell me not to feed him...

I’m sorry for your loss, but thank you for posting this experience.

Thanks!

This is the betta I finally decided on for the tank. This picture doesn’t do him justice. He’s jet black except for light blue rays in his fins. The algae problem is a bit better because I’ve started to limit the amount of time the tank light is on to only 8 hours and I think the snails have...

I’m having a problem with keeping ghost shrimp alive- so I understand how frustrating it is. At least we’re in the right place here.

I’ve let the algae go a little too far. This picture is after a water change. The snails I ordered out of desperation were delivered and have done well so far, but they’re not cleaning algae as well as I would like yet. I haven’t seen the baby shrimp in a while. I checked the filter and didn’t...

I didn’t think of a breeder. Thanks!

Baby Shrimp!! (It’s the little white thing by the plant) I’ve got baby shrimp! I’m just hoping that there’s enough plants and things so that they don’t get eaten by the adult shrimp. I’ve seen about four different ones. I’m waiting until I’ve gotten the algae under control a bit more before...

There’s a lot of algae in the tank now. I had to scrape it off of the front just to be able to take this picture. After doing a lot of reading about what I should do about it I decided to order some trumpet snails. The shrimp are doing fine, and the water parameters are looking better as well. I...

I’ll definitely be sure to keep an eye on it. Thanks!

Welcome! I’m pretty new too.

I hope these pictures are adequate, but if I had to describe them the first batch I got was more clear and whitish, the second was still clear but darker tinted with bands on their antenna. Also, thank you for the advice about the betta, I will definitely be trying it.

(Not the best pic quality, sorry) I blanched some cucumber and fed it to the ghost shrimp and they seem to like it. I’m still dealing with higher ammonia levels so more water changes. I’ve noticed algae growing on one of the decorations and some plant growth, so I’m hoping that means that the...
