emeraldking would probably be able to answer this!

To add on to what others have said, even if your 10G was a reef tank it's not big enough for a skimmer to be very efficient with a tank that small so you'd probably go without one anyway.

I feel like even if I fast, they're still eating or snacking. There's probably a ton of little things in he tank I can't see that they munch on throughout the day. I consider the snail eggs and hatchlings to be something like Uber eats for them. Ha!

Sure! I've even seen grocery sell coconuts that are already cut in half. They sell a nice little coconut bridge that has Java moss on it already at the chain pet stores as well.

Welcome to Fishlore! I haven't kept any tetra myself, are there certain species that you find hard to raise personally?

You could always go with a good ole coconut hide, toss some Java moss on top and you're good to go. I made some hides from gluing rocks together. To test the jagged edges use some panty hose or maybe even a tissue to see if it catches. If it does, some things can easily be sanded. I like the...

I was going to suggest hole in the head, but has that white spot always been on their tail?

It looks a lot like the Anubias Congensis I purchased, so possibly that? Nice find! Some of them do look like they're rotting sometimes in the stores.

While you could easily do that, it may just form elsewhere if the cause of it isn't taken care of. This stuff can form on the glass too so it would be very expensive to keep tossing things out! I wonder if adding more plants would help to starve it out.

If it doesn't come off easily it very well could be red spot algae as Peter said! From what I've read it's slow growing but hard to get off of things. It can be caused by high nitrates and/or high iron. (Hence the red color I bet) I'd check your parameters to see if there's anything you can...

That's awesome, for a moment I thought my dogs were just weird and silly. (They are, sounds like yours are too!) I will absolutely have to try the purple ones if I can find any!

Welcome to fishlore and welcome back to the hobby! No plants?! I don't know if I could live without plants! I have sand substrate, do the fish you keep tear up plants?

Some Java ferns tied to different areas along that driftwood would look great, especially if they're different heights. I also think water lettuce with long roots looks amazing and gives a tank a nice feel for some floaters. If you like the look and speed of growth of vallisneria I think a...

If it's fairly flat against the fish, it's likely ich. If it sticks out from the fish, it's probably epistylis. I've never dealt with either of these personally so perhaps someone else with more experience can chime in!

Do you have a plant or some sort of decor to place in the corner to deter him? Maybe move an air stone there if you have one? A stern talking to, a diagram maybe?!

Thought I would show off my two beautiful purple mystery snails!

Welcome!! May I ask where you're getting your fish from? I've found that chain stores stock are very....iffy to put it nicely. I have high PH water and keep platy and honey gourami that do well. If you like live-bearers you could always think about separating the sexes to avoid babies!

Welcome to the forum! You picked a great place to be, there are some amazing people here!

Welcome!! Looks like you've got some fish you may need to move around. I'm glad we have knowledgeable people here to help!

Welcome to the fishlore family! Loving how long the roots of your floaters are. Did you buy them that way, what is your secret?!
