It was in the summer and I originally had them in the bathroom at room temp about 75 and that's where they hatched and seemed to be doing ok. I moved the container into my spare bedroom and I think it got too warm. Thanks for the reply! I appreciate it! I got a tank divider and think I'm...

I have kept angels with some of those fish. I would think it would be fine provided they have enough space and tall plant-like decor or visual barriers to have alone time.

I have a 55g freshwater community tank that is home to three lg angels, three juvenile angels, four diamond tetras, four black neons, four danios, and a mollie. My tank has a stealth heater, three weaker powerheads and a ugf, as well as a penguine biowheel (the size recommended for a 70 g). I...

That's good to know about the spinach and peas. I didn't know others had a trapdoor, how cool! I guess I'll assume they're alive and well and just not hungry yet. I did separate two of them from the rest of the fish in a breathable container with two algae wafers to see if a fish was possibly...

I put a picture of one on my profile in my aquarium album. I was under the impression that only trapdoor snails had trapdoors. I've only seen like three varieties of snails though. Thanks for the help! I know some snails can "play dead" for long periods of time, but how long should I wait...

I don't think they're apple snails or mystery snails. They do have a trapdoor, and are similar in size to a golf ball and are dark green with algae growing on them. One was moving a bit today but then he's not moving now. I don't know what's up.

My aquarium is a 55g with an undergravel filter that includes three powerheads. I also have a submersible filter suctioned to the inside of my tank. My tank has been set up for many years and has been the happy home of six angelfish varying in size, as well as four diamond tetras, four sunset...

You are totally right that the petco warranty inhibits the wasting of life, and I thought about that as all of this happened. That is what made up my decision to not pursue keeping these any further. I also recently learned that these are all completely wild caught and aren't really ever bred...

I've decided something is definitely killing them or petco shrimp die regularly. Since I posted this originally I have done two 50% water changes over the course of two days, not vacuuming but just replacing water. I also feed my fish pretty well at least once sometimes twice a day with...

So I tested my water with my api drop test kit and it showed no ammonia or nitrites. I vaccumed my tank really well a week or so before I got the shrimp so I thought my water would be ideal. After testing I decided a water change would be a safe bet anyway so I did a 50% change. The shrimp is...

I have a well cycled 55g aquarium with ufg, 3 powerheads, and a submersible filter that homes 3 lg angels, 3 small angels, a skunk loach, a rainbow shark, and a handful of black neons and danios. I recently brought home 2 bamboo shrimp from petco. Their bamboo shrimp regularly have DOA's but...

I don't believe I've really given that a chance, so maybe you're right. I'll definitely give it a shot as it couldn't hurt. Thanks for the fresh eye! -Adam

Hello there, I will start by introducing you to my tank, A 55g tropical tank, undergravel filter with powerheads, 76-80 degrees, change water at least once or twice a week 1/4 or so each time. My water parameters have been quite good as I have experience keeping fish. Now for the important...

Ok, to start with some basics, the tank is a well established 55g freshwater which until last month had a few swordtails, platys, gouramis, and four angels. The tank features an undergravel filter, and an air feature. Recently I found other homes for the other fish because I decided my angels...

Amazingly, these two fish managed to survive. I now make sure I give them plenty of time to empty their stomachs before I feed them again. Thanks!

So my angelfish were doing so great and growing so big and just now I noticed that one of them had a poop that looked like a prolapse. As quick as I could notice it another fish came along and bit it open. My angelfish is now bleeding in the tank and I'm unsure of exactly what I ought to do...

Since the angel died at the beginning of this post, the remaining three have been doing marvelously. They are growing rapidly, eating hoards, and practically doing laps in the tank. They were doing so great after that one passed that I eventually decided it was time to try again and find them...

Sadly this morning I noticed that out of my 55 g I have lost another two fish. One was a small angel about 2" tall and another was a swordtail about 1.2". My water parameters I test for are ammonia (0) nitrite (0) and pH (7.6) which is what my tap comes out at. The tank is at 79 degrees f and...

One of my four small angels got stuck behind my filter. It was an internal or submersible filter that sticks to the wall. Anyway, I took the filter out and isolated the still alive marble angel in a hanging container inside it's same tank so the other fish couldn't bother it but he is swimming...

what good advice! thanks all!
