Hi all, Looking for suggestions in choosing a new mate for my 2 grown up white skirt tetras. It's a small 10g tank, but has been running for over 3 years. What can I consider adding? They look like they could use company. I do have a nerite snail, Roger in there, to do the dirty work. Any...

Nerite is the way to go! I love mine. This pic was a year ago when I got Roger, you can see the dark spots on helmet - algae, and the cleaned up part. He is awesome! Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

All pond snails are super small, so assassin should eat them by quantity and not quality(size), lol But wouldn't smashing the pond snails create more food for other pond snails? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Thanks! My Nerite is full grown and pretty big. I did some additional research and it says they should be ok. I don't think I over feed the fish; as i said it's not bad yet, but I don't want them to get bad and take over the tank Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Another tank is not an option, unfortunately. Any other thoughts? Would my Nerite be ok with an assassin? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Well I did a mistake and bought plants from an AA member and few weeks later - my 10 gal is infested with pond snails. I do not want them. I tried to pick a few out but that don't seem to help. I can't get a loach or puffer cuz it's a small tank and in stocked. I heard assassin snail could...

Nope, nothing else was changed: lights are on timer, PWC are religiously performed on Sundays, same with ferts. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

So is it a bad thing, should I stop using that sponge filter? I add Flourish Excel in small dose every other day Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I have a 10 gal freshwater tank with a few plants in there and tetras. I run an aqueon hob filter with added ceramic media in an emptied from carbon filter cartridge. Everything was doing well and then I though to experiment and add an additional filtration unit. So I went with DIY modified...

Do u have any left? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

If u won't sell out in about a week and a half, I'll get 5 RCS and some java moss I'm finishing up a tank and seeding an extra filter media in my other tank. I'll pm you when I'm ready to see if u have any left. I heard good reviews about you Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Wow, thank you for a reference! That was really helpful. I think I am going to build the sponge filter regardless of the inhabitants I will end up getting. So I guess I am between shrimp and betta fish :) Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

How often would I have to do WC if I was to have one betta? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Thank you. I guess shrimp would def benefit from having a filter.. My problem is that it is an acrylic cylinder tank and a filter would create too much vibration and would not mount properly to begin with... I've been reading on it and I think my options are getting limited to either snails...

I have an extra 5 gal tank that I wanna put to use. I do realize it is a small tank and therefore I do not want to put any fish in there. I am thinking more shrimp but I never had them before... The tank does not have a filter. I have a bubbler and a heater for it though. So my question is...

I have a couple 5in Ludwigia repens stems to give away or trade for java moss. Local only please as I'm not willing to bother with shipping. Pick up around 60016. It has some algae on it, snail free guaranteed! If u can come pick it up I will give it to you for FREE, or if you have some...

Definitely!

Thanks!!! it just opened up yesterday, pretty flowers on Mother's Day, yay!

I never even thought anubia can flower. Mine is about to bloom. What a great present! :)

Or will trade for small amount of java moss

I have a small container of freeze dried bloodworms food by Tetra .28oz. I bought it for my tetras and they won't even touch it. $2.00 Also have a half of 1oz jar of Omega One Goldfish flakes for a buck or two. It is not worth shipping but if anyone wants to pick it up. I'm in Chicago...

They are cute!

Anyone else has a thought?!
