I have a 20 gallon freshwater tank that is established . I am moving from California to Colorado in a month and want to know if there's an easy way to transfer just my driftwood (with java fern), a marimo miss ball, and a rabbit snail. I would most likely transfer everything to a smaller...

Found this snail in my tank today. I currently have a rabbit snail and used to have an apple snail (died soon after I got it) So i thought maybe it could be related, but the pictures i looked up online of baby rabbit/apple snails didn't look like this one. Any guesses?

Yes, sorry I did not see that sticky until now. Here's what I got: The tank was set up around Jan 7 2015 and cycled for a little over 4 weeks before I added fish the first time. after that, I added the 3 cardinal tetras and 1 more white skirt tetra as well as the shrimp (this was a couple weeks...

Thank you, that makes sense. Ya, I forgot to mention that I tested the water as well... ammonia and nitrites are at 0 . and the temp is around 82F. I have been doing 10% water change once every so often (every couple weeks maybe). Should probably do another one soon though if there's sick fish...

Just started my first planted tank this year, so I'm new to pretty much everything. A few of my fish (and shrimp) have died within the past month or so and I was hoping to get some insight. I feel like it might be a compatibility issue or possibly the Ich. I have a 20gallon long tank...

Okay thanks, well that's good to know. My nitrates are moderate. Not sky high, but I'd say 30ppm. All the readings are pretty good except the nitrItes really. But I will keep dosing the ammonia up to 4ppm each day and see how the nitrites do. I noticed that after I add the ammonia in the morning...

Hello, I'm in the process of starting my first planted tank and I have been cycling it for exactly 4 weeks now. The ammonia levels drop pretty quick after I add the ammonia (less than 24 hours I'd say) but the nitrite levels are still very high (vibrant purple, probably 5ppm). There was two days...
