A this a baby trumpet snail? It looks like the google images I've found. I found it rot day during a water change that disturbed the sand.

I have 2 bamboo shrimp, had them since oct, I just notices today that the bigger of the 2 has the typical "flower" hands and the smaller one just has "regular" legs. I was unable to get a picture of the smaller one...hid too fast. Any reason why that would be?

So, I found this baby snail today, randomly out of nowhere and kind of wondering where is came from. I have 2 mystery snails but never saw an egg sack, and I DO look for them. The last plant I got was over a month ago...could it have been a hitchhiker from that long ago? Would it have taken that...

I recently had my dwarf gourami die. I thought it was my fault, but upon returning him. The guy at the LFS said the whole group he bought died...but I digress...I instead chose to get a pair of golden gouramis. The guy at the. LFS, whom I trust, said the do ok in pairs. They are both male...

So, I added 1Bamboo shrimp a couple weeks ago and I used to see him hanging on the driftwood or on the plants. I added another one last week so he wouldn't be lonely (lol) and since I have added the second one, I haven't seen either of them. I recently did a rescape so I picked up everything and...

So, I have another post up about how I had to get rid of my angelfish, who I just took back to the LFS this morning because she was very aggressive towRd my dwarf gourami. When I got home about an hour ago I assessed just how back the damage was. He is missing some I his tIl fin, there's damage...

I was very sad to find that my new Angelfish, Darla, munched on my dwarf gourami's tail. He has a pretty significant piece missing. I had never even seen interaction between them, but shortly after my discovery I witnessed her stalk him, chase him, and fin nip him. I'm saddened by this, but my...

So here's the scoop: I bought what I was told was a 55 gallon pentagon corner tank off craigslist ( I believe this lady really thought it was) and have had it for a year now and only a few months ago switched from goldfish (they died :( ) to tropical fish. Upon doing water changes and such I had...

So I recharged my Purigen by following the directions and now it smells funny. Not like chlorine per se but kind of sour. Anyone tried this?

Meet Roger, my mystery snail. I've had him for several months now and this is the first time I've seen this siphon(?). Any idea what this is or what this means?

I have a 55 gallon corner tank. My current bottom feeder stock is a bristlenose pleco and 6 corydoras and a bamboo shrimp. If I added 5 Kuhli loaches would that be too many bottom feeders? I can't really decide. Any opinions?

My LFS and my online store (Peabodys paradise) are both out and have been for what seems like forever! Anyone have any to share?

This is my new marble angel that I got yesterday. She's (that's what I'm saying-her) only about the size of a quarter-lots of room to grow!

How long did it take for Purigen to remove tannins from your tank? Just curious...I put Purigen in my canister filter last night, it's been 12 hours or so and I really don't see a difference yet.

So, as a ploy to get my husband I tested in my tank (and there by default assist with maintenance) I have decided to let him pick out our new inhabitant. He has his heart set on a marble veil tailed angel and really only wants that and nothing else. I have heard that angels can be nippy and...

So...in the past 48 hours, I have had 3 guppies and a Cory catfish die. I bought the guppies 10 days ago and the Cory 2 days ago. Nitrites-0, ammonia-0, nitrates-5, ph-7.6, temp-78. I tested last night after the most recent deaths. The only changes have been that I added driftwood. My other fish...

Just got a baby BN pleco (1 inch max) on Thursday. Was doing wonderfully. About 2 hours ago I noticed he had a bloated stomach, but he has been eating non stop since I bought him and was wedged behind my heater. I nudged out from behind the heater and he swam away normally. Not but 30 mins later...

My light/good has made a buzzing noise since I got it, but is intermittently getting worse now. Do all lights/hoods buzz or just mine? It's a t8 fluorescent that came with the canopy. I'm assuming not great quality.

It's wanted to show off my amazing piece of driftwood that came in the mail today! Mopani two-toned driftwood for $8.11 on Amazon!

Got 4 new tuxedo guppies (love guppies!) and a baby bristlenose plecostomus today! He's only about 3/4 inch right now. They're hanging out in acclimation right now.

One of my female mollies is laying on the ground with a curved body and seems like she can't really swim. Nitrite 0, nitrate 10, ammonia 0, ph 7.6, aquarium salt added. Just tested today. She was perfectly fine 2 hours ago and ate this evening.

It's picked up 4 Julii Cory cats today! 2 are like 1 inch and 2 are about 1 1/2 inches. Still small. Super cute! They're hanging out while getting acclimated.

Today was the first time I added a liquid fertilizer to my tank, I have only been using root tabs until now. Upon adding it, it turned my water yellow. I realize that the fert itself is yellow but I didn't think it would turn my whole tank yellow. Will the color eventually just filter out? Also...

Any suggestions on how to keep my stem plants from being uprooted? It seems like everyday one or more of my stem plants is floating when I get home from work. Quite annoying. 2 inch sand substrate.

My 55 gallon used to be a goldfish tank, but once they got too big for me to keep I sent them to my neighbors pond...I recently began to slowly stock tropical freshwater ( new for me) and I started with 6 guppies and 3 mollies and lost 3 guppies and 1 Molly in quarantine. Anyway, I was planning...
