Thanks for the replies @anteatergoana and @BBradbury. Unfortunately, as expected, all the dollars and snails didn't survive the night. My levels were fine (0,0,10) and I was confident, although possibly wrong to, about adding all the fish at once as I believed after my fishless cycle there...

Pic 1 added

Hi all, I recently cycled a 55G tank and added around 20 neons, 5 small silver dollars and 4 mystery snails. They were acclimatized properly, floating in the water, having tank water added etc. The next morning I see snails with white fluff on them (Pic 2) and they are unmoving. The dollars...

:facepalm:

So it would be basically akin to when Homer Simpson shoved the dog & the cat into a sack and hoped for the best. Except with less chance of success and certain death :ermm:

Incredibly rare, virtually unheard of. I'm slightly worried about what size tank this BGK is in...let alone what size tank the OP will be putting a pair of them in.

There's something wrong with you

In a large tank of say 100G I'd say you'd have a fair chance. Anything smaller and I'd say the two will more likely than not fight to the death.

The white tail end makes me think bristlenose to be honest

Do you actually have a common pleco and 3 clown loaches in a 55G...

Some fish are inherently hostile but 9/10 they're just incredibly territorial. How big is the tank?

Can you describe the noise?

You're either incredibly overstocked or been a bit lax with water changes by the look of those...

Agreed. The betta is a huge risk in that stocking and should be avoided.

The BGK requires a much larger tank than a 75G so I'd avoid that.
