My Nerite snail has disappeared. 10 gallon tank with guppies and the snail. I have search through the tank. I shuffled through the top of the substrate (large natural looking large substrate from petco or petsmart), thinking maybe he got stuck under the rocks. Looked around plants, the filter...

Hi Folks, Thanks for all of your help so far! I have a 10 g tank with 4 guppies and 1 ruby nerite snail. My tank does not have a lot of algae, so I bought all vegetable algae discs to feed the snail. The only thing is that the snail doesn't show a lot of interest in the algae discs. I will...

Hi Guys, So I just got a Tiger Nerite Snail for my 10 g guppy tank. I am not sure there is much algae, and I want to make sure he/she doesn't starve. How do you recommend I blanch vegetables for the snail? What vegetables are acceptable? How often do I feed? Thanks in advance!

Hi guys, I have a sick guppy and I was hoping you could help. It's a 10 gallon tank 0 Ammonia (or darn close to it, well under 0.25), 0 Nitrite, 20 Nitrates. I use API liquid test. Three male guppies in tank, which were added about 10 days ago. No other fish. Tank has been set up for a...

Hi folks, I have three male guppies in a 10 gallon Tank. I was thinking of adding a fourth guppy,but am now wondering if there are any bottom dwellers that would fit comfortably in the tank? Or maybe something else that would complement the guppies, while making the tank more interesting. I...

I have an empty cycled 10 g Freshwater tank. I was planning to buy four guppies today (to be followed eventually by a Nerite snail). Before I bought the guppies, I wanted to do a massive water change to get Nitrate levels down. When I was about done clearing out water. My filter stopped pumping...

Hi Folks I have a 10 gallon cycled tank. I was thinking of putting in the following. 4 male guppies 1(maybe 2) olive nerite snails What do you guys think? Will this work well?

So, I messed up and gave my tank a 7 day feeder block, before doing research on them beforehand. My bad. I was gone for a week and now know I could leave my tetra for a week without feeding them. Now I am back from dog-sitting, and the block has shrunk. I think I should remove it, but it looks...

Let me know what you think!

Hi Gang, I have a 10g tank with 6 Serpae Tetras. I realize that my tank is maxed out for fish, but I was wondering if there were any inverts I could put in my tank for the sake of variety. Based on another thread I was thinking Olive Nerite Snails. But would Serpae leave them alone? Any...

Greetings, So about 1.5 months ago I started a ten gallon tank of Serpae Tetras. For the first month while the tank cycled I did not clean the gravel, because i wanted to grow bacteria. Now I think I need to buy a gravel vac for the tank. My substrate is a large natural looking gravel from...

My heater is acting odd. The light has been on for an awfully long time. I looked more closely and the heater appears to have water in it.... Is that normal? My glass thermometer reads a healthy 76.... It is an aqueon 50 w in a 10 g fw tank. Thanks!

Does anyone have any experience with these guys? I was told one or two might fit in well with 6 Serpae Tetra in a 10 g. Would this overstock? Do Kuhli Loaches do okay alone?

I have a 10 gallon freshwater tetra tank that is currently in a cycle with fish (my error). This morning we had a power outage, and I was unsure how to care for my fish without heater or filter. I though that frequent pwcs (every few hours?) might be the best answer, but wanted to know what the...

Greetings! I am new to Aquariumadvice.com and new to fish keeping. I am a grad student trying to finish my dissertation. I have started up a 10 gallon tank of Serpae Tetra, and welcome any advice you might have!:razz: I am currently doing 40% water changes daily. Once the tank finishes...

I am starting a 10 gallon tank. I have 3 Serpae Tetras and am planning to buy 3 more in a few weeks. Will this work? AqAdvisor says I will be at 75% capacity, which sounds healthy. I bought only three tetra initially because I read that you should keep a tank fairly sparse during cycling (I...
