I really need help with my mystery snail. I have tried just about everything possible with my restoring my snail's shell. It just keeps deteriorating and it's getting really bad. Recently, I have tried to change half of my tank's water, then put a slow release calcium block in it. I even removed...

How do you get emails to stop being sent on aquarium advice about people responding to you?

Hey guys! It's been a while! I have a problem with my Mystery snail at the moment. You see, his shell has been deteriorating for some time now, and I'm not sure on how to fix it. I've been adding calcium to my tank for a while now. I use my cuttle bone, and scrape it with a butter knife above...

One of my future tanks that I decided I would like to have is a brackish water tank. I have some questions though on stocking and various other things. So first off I hear mollies can be adapted into fresh, brackish, and salt water. Is that true? If so how long would I have to be on drip method...

Is it ok to "hand feed"a mystery snail? My snail unfortunately doesn't get a lot of food because my goldfish and other fish steal most of his food and shove him out of the way. So one day, my snail was so desperate for food he decided to go to the surface (just above the waterline) and and try...

I just want to make sure my snail is fine. It's not the snail it's self it's his shell. Looked like his shell was deteriorating due to lack of calcium but now that I sometimes add calcium to my tank, its stopped. But the mark hasn't disappeared. Anything I can do to help heal it or is it...

Ok so I have 23 gallon hex flat back and was wondering if I could get a crayfish with what stock I have and my tank set up.. Here are some details of my tank: its not planted,the bottom is gravel,and no caves really. Or not yet anyway. I plan on adding driftwood really soon. I have one goldfish...

Ok so I'm adding Malaysian driftwood for my tank and I'm trying to take out as much tannins as I possibly can so i don't mess my ph up. I'm going to soak the driftwood in a bucket to release more tannins. So I have a few questions. First of all I'm boiling and soaking but I'm open for new ways...

Anyone know an awesome small and easy to care for aquarium creature that just looks cool in your tank? I just want something interesting to look at in my tank.(Examples that I might consider and currently researching) : crayfish, and crabs. I know it's not much but it's hard to find cool and...

Trying to find a good plant that will survive the inexperience I have with caring for real plants. I would like a low matenince plant that can live without fertilizer, root tabs, or co2. And maybe it can get nutrients through fish poop? The info below may help? I've had one real plant in the...

Ok so I have a future tank planned and I was considering it to be planted. So I was wondering, which plants are easy care for, hardy, low light, easy to trim, and pretty? Those are the only things I ask for. I know of Java ferns and anubia (I think that's how you spell it.) if anyone knows about...

Title says it all but I have one mystery snail in my tank and was wondering if it can carry ich sense I have an ich outbreak in my tank right now. If so, how can I treat my snail without killing it in order to put him back in there ich-free?

My goldfish won't move like he normally does! He's sitting at the bottom of the aquarium and doing nothing. He would normally be swimming around in my tank pecking at the bottom or just floating. Can someone tell me if he's sick or what? I've never seen him like this before. Here's a pic...

My poor mystery snail is crawling up one of my biggest statues in hopes of getting air when really he has to crawl up the side of my fishtank walls in order to get air. I'm thinking he's kinds destperate or he might be dying. Anything I can do about this? I really feel sorry for him. :(

My catfish has been doing nothing but sitting in the corner all day. He's only active during feeding time. So he basically just eats and sits all day. Since he's a pictus and i hear they like to sim in currents is this unhealthy? Just wondering.

I just brought some cuttlebone for my snail and was wondering how I should put it in the tank? I read that you have to cut off I dime sized peace in order to not raise your ph levels. I also read that you should boil, soak or tie it down in order to get it in the tank. But I came here t see if...

I have a 23 gallon freshwater fishtank. I might remove a large goldfish I have in there and if I do I will have room to put around 3 fish in. Any ideas on small to medium sized but colorful fish that will settle in with my fish peacefully? I have a spotted pictus catfish, one Molly, a common...

Mine is the spotted pictus catfish because it so fast and it adds more excitement at the bottom of the aquarium as it is very active. :)

One: what's the best way and thing to feed them for food. Two: what's the best thing to I've for their shells? I got one yesterday and I ask because I was thinking about giving him some zucchini. Is that a good idea? If so how do i give it to him? do i boil, let it cool, then just throw it in...

Anyone have one because I do. Mine has one each of the following: Pleco, oranda goldfish, mystery snail, Molly, and spotted pictus catfish. :p

Hi I have a 23 gallon fish tank and I was wondering how can I feed all my fish equally without one of them starving? If it helps I have: a spotted pictus catfish (it's as quick as lighting at feeding time), an oranda goldfish who's extremely selfish and rude to other fish (he will just butt in...
