I understand the idea of culling the undesirables to perfect a line. However I'm not quite sure what I should be working on with these guys. It's a rare mixed coloration and we have tallied up 3 of them. They have half black half white body(foot antennae and all). They are mystery snails. So...

My java moss came with cladophora algae entangled in it. I have been struggling to get rid of it. It hasn't grown much and hasn't seemed to spread. I bought 8 Japanese algae eating shrimp and they refuse to touch the stuff. I tried spot treating with excell before this. I did a salt dip and am...

I'm trying to find out what this is. It act like pond snails in the fact that it came in with one of my other plants and I just let it stay but when I gave my friend some anacharis and bucephalandra she ended up getting this too. She likes it so she keeps it so no harm done. But we want to know...

My friend finally started taking my advice after I explained the cycling process and how i don't do 100% water changes daily. She is finally letting her tanks cycle and she bought a test kit. Well i guess she went out and also bought prime to detoxify ammonia. Seeing as i have never used the...

And then this happened. I named it pickle. Sent from my SM-G925T using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I think I have a large planaria population I just did a water change and see these little hair like things floating around. My betta is getting fat off of them. Is my betta going to be okay? Is it okay for her to eat them? I kind of don't want to feed her because she is already getting fat off...

I have had mystery snails. By had I mean they die within a week every time I get a new one. It's very frustrating. Water parameters are PH 7.8 Ammonia 0 Nitrite 0 Nitrate 5 dkh 14.7 ?? That's what the LFS said Copper 0 (LFS didn't have a test for gh) Temp 80°F Occypants: 10ish ghost shrimp 1...

I didn't know where it would be best to put this. What is the best method to growing algea in a dense enough quantity to where I could use it to feed certain things in my tank? What kind of algae would be best for the purpose of feeding? What is the best method to then harvest the algae to...

I haven't used any medicines and I've been doing twice daily water changes to try to get rid of a possible infection that has been killing my shrimp. But yeah he is turning blue. I cycled the tank with them in it so I can't tell if it's been infection or just consistent damage over time that has...

I have some floating plants that a friend gave me from her aquarium and ever since I added it my tank water has been getting salty. Can some aquatic plants produce salt? Well, that's a dumb question of course some can. Should I be concerned about this? They are in my ghost shrimp tank and that...

I'm just putting this here to create a log and to see if any of this info could be useful in someones shrimp keeping. Or possible alternative for starting the nitrogen cycle. I am trying to cycle a 10G tank using only ghost shrimp (10 of them). I am aware that they tend to be very sensitive...

This thing came with my banana plant, what is it and will it grow if I leave it? Not the roots of the banana plant but the thing in the roots of it.

I recently started a shrimp tank to prepare for a betta that I am going to get from my friend who happens to breed bettas. I bought 10 for $2 (but i really got 11 shhhh) because they were feeders. Supposedly they are ghost shrimp. Two of them are almost 2 inches long and they already ate the...

I am new. I just recently became a tank owner. I haven't had fish in so long before this. Mostly just came here for the advice. I need a lot of it.
