Btw, those mystery snails are only for the bio load, I'll be getting assassin snail afterwards Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

So guys, I started up my aquarium about 2 weeks ago with live plants as well as a filter from a friend as he upgraded his current filter. Now my water is a bit cloudy, I was wondering if it would be okay to do a water change in the morning and then get one or two mystery snails in the afternoon...

Yes, Spirulina powder is a kind of dried up algae powder and it's small enough for the brine shrimps to filter feed

Melafix and Pemafix are also anti fungal

Ick are white patches on the skin/scales on your fish. My tank had ich before and what I used these API tablets and within a week, it was all gone. Make sure it has Ick and if one of you fish has Ick, chances are the rest may have it too. and if you're certain you see Ick on one TREAT THE WHOLE...

Breeding brine shrimp is relatively easy if you can manage them. I have bred brine shrimp before by luck and it was hard. Raising them would be the hardest part. The main thing you need would be a food source, I mostly used crushed up fish flakes but that wouldn't account for the proper diet the...

Ill check by my nearest pet smart, hopefully they have it on clearance cuz normally it's around $18 Besides the ones I listed, what are other suitable plants for the tank? And what's a good brand and cheap yeast I can use, most are over $40 and I check online but some of the prices aren't listed?

So what kind of clay can I use in the substrate and where can I find it?

So I want to turn my 10 gallon into a planted tank. I was thinking of having some elodea/anacharis, amazon swords, water wisteria, and anubius, and a piece of driftwood. For lighting either i keep my two 20w cfl bulbs or change it to this...

So I set another container up last night the same way and brine shrimp hatched

Just checked them again and still alive

And the only thing I added was the tap water, I swished my magnet cleaner to put in some algae and these rocks I got at the beach a couple months before that I thoroughly washed cuz I used some to decorate my freshwater tank. Could it be the rocks? Video

I got it straight from the sink and I live in an apartment so....not sure

Okay so I had this container which before I used to hatch brine shrimp. Two days ago I decided to restart my brine shrimp breeding project. I used a different container to to hatch them this time. However, the container I used before had some eggs stuck to the bottom that I didn't notice before...

There is a slim chance they could have all given birth and ate the fry, but the most likely reason is they aborted due to stress, what size is the tank? Is there many hiding spots? Well if you want to see fry either have it planted( fake or real) or separate the femAles with either a divider...

Wait until she looks squared or box like if you're gonna move her, because she might abort, good luck with all the babies :)

If you're receding to the black near her bottom anal fin, then yes. I wouldn't be worry about her giving birth yet as she has not squared or boxed off yet. If you want fry, don't stress her out until she is fully squared and keep her in the main tank, could be about a week or 2 till she pops

I'm planning to make this into a planted aquarium although the plants barely grows and they seem to grow better in my goldfish tank as for the snail, I usually do 75% or more water changes every other week and I have a aquaeon 20 for this tank will that suffice?

Lol yeah, I want to get a couple of assassins but 1) I have my apple snail(so awesome at tank maintenance) 2) idk where to find them, I don't wanna order online And ever since I crushed that one, no others have shown up

I got rid of it 10 days ago, crushed it and guppies ate it

This is a 10 I got the plants a month ago, wisteria (guaranteed to be snail free) and elodea and only noticed this now, and before adding the plant i washed them thoroughly before adding, but I also have an apple snail in here but only 1 , any idea what snail this might be

I recently found this tiny snail in my tank I have no idea what it is or what to do with it

Their breathing tube, for their respiratory system

Ive bred brine shrimp before

Here can I find daphnia or is it possible to start a culture with only tank water? I want to use it as fry food because brine shrimp don't hatch fast enough. I'm well aware of infusoria
