I have a slight snail infestation in my small tank but want to stop it quickly. I don't want to put in an assassin snail if it will also breed out of control. So, are assassin snail hermaphrodite and able to fertilise their own eggs as I plan to only place one snail in the tank? Many thanks

Can adding new fish cause stress for the others in the tank? And would it be an ongoing problem or just a temporary insecurity?

definitely the buying new fish and seeing them thrive in your aqaurim , i have just purchased 3 small angelfish and 4 cardinal tetra's and they are loving it :D

Okay thank you, will there be any conflict between these males?

Ould it be a bad idea to buy guppies if i wasn't interested in fry? Ive been reading a few things and it seems that they reproduce like crazy?!

hello everyone i have just built a home made a biological filter using lava rocks, sponges, stones and netting etc , hopefully some good bacteriia will build up and help clear the pond , anyone had any experience with this themselves? thanks.

thanks for replying , yea we do small water changes every now and again , we have just built a new biological filter with lava rock and netting and sponges etc , hopefully in a couple of weeks the good bacteria will build up and help clear the pond

Apparently there is a unique disease called neon tetra disease that kills them off and the onlt tetra that is immune is the cardinal so i only ever considered buying cardinals because they're hardy and very pretty
