Help needed! My egg clutch fell in the tank over night. I took it out and "helped" it hatch by breaking it apart as I saw in a video. So now I have about 10 baby snails in a jar. How do I transfer them to my tank without hurting them? Is a 10 gallon planted tank too big for them? They are even...

I'm gonna have baby snails! First, I'm gonna have to research how to hatch the clutches and care for the babies. Anyone have any info or sites you'd recommend for a newish snail mom?

I want to get some floating plants for this tank. I am thinking about Duckweed just because it's the only one I really know of. Does anyone have any other recommendations that are betta and Snail safe?

I have done three planted tanks for three betta fish and a total of 10 snails (3 adults and 7 babies) between them. I am new to aquascaping, but loving learning. I only the name of about a forth of my plants, sadly, but so far they all seem to be doing well. Each tank is better than the last. I...

I just upgraded Kurt (my veiltail betta) from a 5 gallon to a 10 gallon tank. I have to admit, I'm proud of the way it came out. Old 5 gallon: New 10 gallon:

I have a fairly new tank that hasn't developed algae yet which currently houses baby snails. I've been feeding them algae wafers and blanched cucumber, but am not sure if there is such a thing as overfeeding...I know my betta would eat himself to death if I let him. Will my snails do the same...

Nux the halfmoon betta and his new home. There will be some mini swordfish (grass like plant) and a moss ball soon, but this is it for now. He's still really stressed out and skittish, so the pic of him isn't great. Sorry.

I just brought Nux, a silver halfmoon betta, home today. He has clamped pectoral fins. Any advise on how to help him heal?

Just ordered some magenta mystery Snails to split between 4 tanks. I'm ridiculously excited! And so thankful to one of the users here for pointing me in their direction (not naming the user without their permission, but you know who you are). I cannot wait for these guys to arrive!

I gave my Mystery Snail, Mal, a slice of cucumber. He ate some, but not much. How long should I leave it in before removing it? I don't want to mess with my water levels, but don't want to take away his treat before I need to either.

New snail in my 10 gallon planted tank. His name is Mal. He's not sure about cucumber just yet, but he seems to like the moss ball hahaha

I got Simon, a Dragonscale betta, yesterday and think he may be partially blind. He has trouble realizing I've added food to his tank and, when he does see it, he swims up to it sideways and very slowly and tries to grab it and almost always misses it (either doesn't manage to grab it at all or...

Apollo finally came out of his shell, where he's been hiding for the last two days since I introduced him to my tank. He's adorable!

Playing with my new macro lens by taking pictures of my pretty babies.

I just ordered some java moss that I plan to thread through driftwood. I've read to use fishing line for this, but have never done this before and wanted to see if anyone out there had some advise for a beginner? Or knew of any great tutorials online that could help? Any feedback is appreciated.

I've read that adding cuttlebone in with snails is beneficial for their shells. My snail is in a 5gal tank with a beta fish. Will cuttlebone harm my beta?

Tank to date: I started Kurt's Paradise with a 2.5 gal tank on July 8th, 2016. August 25th, I added a nerite snail named Dio and changed out one of the plastic plants. August 27th, I upgraded to a 5 gallon tank and added one plant and some bulbs. The bulbs grew plants too big for my tank, so...
