    Depressed mystery snail?

    I've read up on diseases that might affect a mystery snail but I'm not coming up with any answers. I had 2 mystery snails who paired off and were pretty awesome together. The female accidentally jumped ship looking for a spot to last her eggs and severely cracked her shell and passed away :(...

    Does my ADF look like he's a healthy weight?

    I got 4 of them about a month ago and they were pretty skinny. I'm a terrible judge of weight gain so I can't device if he's at a healthy weight or if he needs to gain a bit more. Sent from my VS980 4G using Aquarium Advice mobile app

    Fin rot help?

    My tap water has ammonia (new development) and I didn't realize it, so when my ammonia level kept going up in my tank, I did water changes until someone told me to test my tap water. I'm holding off now on the water changes until the bacteria can do it's job. Anyways, with the week long stress...

    How long will a ghost shrimp carry unfertilized eggs?

    I swear my ghost shrimp has been carrying green eggs around for almost a month now. The 2 makes i have don't seem to want to fertilize them, or maybe she won't let them, i don't know. I'll try to get a picture when she comes out from hiding. Sent from my VS980 4G using Aquarium Advice mobile app

    Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? I'm tired of losing fish.

    Clogged Aqueon gravel siphon.

    How the heck do I clean this thing? I tried forcing water through with no luck. The water flow isn't enough to even lift the gunk a little. :( Sent from my VS980 4G using Aquarium Advice mobile app

    How can you tell if your ADF is happy?

    I have 4 in my 20gal long, and th ey seem happy, and are eating. They don't super dart to the top to get air, it's more of a lazy swim to the top. I'm assuming it's because they are comfortable and finally feel safe, but since they are my first ADF I'm never sure. What are your experiences with...

    Shrimp eating sand?

    I recently switched to a sand substrate from gravel and now one of my ghost shrimp has a belly full of sand. She doesn't seem too be bothered by it and is still eating her regular food, just wondering if this is something i need to be worried about or if she'll work it out. Sent from my VS980...

    I currently have 4 ghost shrimp (2 female, 2 male) I'm transferring everything to a larger tank and was thinking about getting done RCS because they look really nice.

    Ammonia smell without ammonia?

    Sorry for the upside down picture. I only have an ammonia testing kit for now. My tank smells like ammonia though and if I'm reading this test correctly the levels are near zero. Any idea what could be causing the smell? Sent from my VS980 4G using Aquarium Advice mobile app

    RIP Pokey

    A combination of being terrorized and cracking her shell prior to me getting her, and then getting stuck in the filter intake, the stress did her in. :( Poor baby. Sent from my VS980 4G using Aquarium Advice mobile app

    Help! Murky tank!

    I won't have a testing kit until Friday. And I can't get to the LFS until then either. Is this bacterial bloom or something else? The fish seem happy as clams but my female mystery snail seems a little stressed. I did a 50% water change and it seemed to get worse after that which is why I'm...

    Snail fun?

    My mystery snail, Speedy, goes to the bubbler, seems to let the bubbles into his shell, then floats up and glides to the other end of the tank. Should I be concerned or is he just having fun? The picture is of him on the bubbler getting ready for launch. Sent from my VS980 4G using Aquarium...

    Mystery snail breeding

    I'm pretty sure that what I witnessed last night was my 2 mystery snails having some private time (though they weren't very private about it). How long after mating should I expect an egg sack? How long until it hatches? How do I keep them healthy once they are hatched? Should I invest in dill...
