My dad added an assassin snail to his tank to cure his snail problem (tiny pond snail looking things) and now he'd like some apple snails but the lfs said the assassin would attack them, so my question is how to I catch/trap it as we never see it?

Me and my little sister went to a local betta breeder monday to get a betta for my tank, while we were there my sister saw bettas can be kept in relatively small containers, the breeder told her a few litres is fine for them. So my sister ended up getting one too, on the way home she got him a...

When I put it in the tank about 8 days ago it was all green and lush and now its brown and filmy, like the leave are melting or disintigrating. And just as I write this i look at the tank and see a panda cory nosing about it, are they eating the dying leaves?

So last week I took my large filter sponges that have been in my dads community tank for a month- month and a half, put them in my tank. Now since dads tank has way more fish than I planned on adding at first so I figured it'd be safe. So off I go to a lfs, explain the situation and get a trio...

Going to get the sand tomorrow, they do a fine grade 1-2mm and a coarse 2-3mm, which would be better for planting and for corys?

Ive just been reading the profile on AA on assassin snails, and it says they dont eat shrimp, it also states theyre safe with nerites. While at a lfs I was looking at horned nerites the other day, would they be safe with these as the horned nerites only average 1/4 inch as an adult. So my...

After thinking and looking at pictures of fish and such. I went to a fish store today about 20miles from home and was looking around at the fish while selecting a new piece of drift wood and it helped me decide on what id like. I think Id be better skipping the bn pleco rather than risking it...

Ive been looking at snails and once my tanks up and running and been going for a few months I think id like one or two Tylomelania. Do they eat plants? Since im setting up a planted tank if they eat plants it wouldnt be good if I got one and he/she ate all my foliage.
