The assassin snails weren't touching the problem. The loach ate the eggs, and killed 99% of the snails Sent from my SM-N910P using Aquarium Advice mobile app

We have a 20 gallon tank with a 30 gallon filter. We had a major snail problem, so we got rid of our stock of guppies (the breeding was too much), and started fresh with a couple yo yo loaches. We kept our existing 2 pygmy corys (we can only keep those 2 alive...Petco is the only store in our...

Thank you for the responses. So far, the lone surviving fish, and the frogs are going well. They are still in the kritter keeper, as we are just now finding the time to clean out the old tank. Good thing, as the surviving fish was my daughters new friend! Sent from my SM-N910P using Aquarium...

So, somehow a leaky bottle of tide detergent dripped some detergent in my 10 gallon quarantine tank. We had 2 pregnant guppies who did not survive, 2 African dwarf frogs, and a platy. We moved the adf and platy to a Tupperware container for the time being, but what are the chances they are going...

I went ahead and got 3 otos for now, and I'll add 2 more once these ones are done with quarantine. Thanks for the suggestions! I had forgotten about ottos, and really didn't want a pleco? Sent from my SM-G900V using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I have a 13 gallon tank, lightly planted with 5 neon tetras, 1 endler, and 1 mystery snail. Lately the snail does not seem to be doing its job cleaning the tank. I do a 50% we every 2 weeks since I have such a small bio load. All of a sudden, I have green spot algae growing on the glass. Is...

I can't get mine to breed :( I'm down to 9 now, but I have a mix of males and females. I'm constantly looking for eggs, lol! Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Aquarium Advice mobile app

What about moving one of the filters to the new tank? Will I have to wait until the ich is completely gone? Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Sat night, all our fish looked great. Sun night, all 4 phantom tetras were COVERED in ich. I slowly raised the water temp (it's holding at 87), and gave the phantoms a salt bath (I have a snail, so I couldn't add salt to the tank). Within hours of the salt bath, the smallest phantom died (he...

I'm starting a new tank for my son's room. It is a 20 gallon regular, not sure what filter yet, but it will be fully cycled before I add fish. I had a lot of trouble finding tiger endlers in my area, and a couple of my local lfs's have said that they would buy them from me if I bred them. I've...

Not sure about canisters, but I just upgraded the hob on my daughter's tank from an aqueon to an aqua clear. The aqua clear is quiet, but louder than the aqueon. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I just bought some plants on aquariumplantsandsupplies.com. they were well priced, and free shipping. I can't vouch for their quality yet though.... Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Due to LFS stocking issues, I've had to add my phantom tetras 2 at a time to my tank. The 1st 2 were black phantom (not as Dependant on high numbers), and they instantly started schooling with my neons. Next 2 were red phantom. One schooled with the others instantly, and 1 his. They now swim in...

I should add, there were no signs of disease or injury. I guess he was just stressed. The other endler is doing great now that we got him another companion :) Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I found him dead yesterday. He was buried under some gravel and inside a decoration. I found him during a gravel vac :( Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I usually add the new fish after a water change, so I float the bag for about an hour, then put the fish with the water they came in, into my WC bucket that has some of the treated water left in it. After about 10 mins, I net transfer the fish into the main tank. It's just what is easiest for...

I'm getting a few new fish for my daughter's 13 gallon tank today. We have a few fish in there now, so I'm thinking I want to quarantine the new fish for a few days. The only extra tank I have is a 3.5 gallon with no filter. Depending on stock at my LFS, we will either be getting 3 endlers or 3...

Yeah, I have a pre-filter sponge over my intake because of the shrimp, so it definitely wasn't the filter :( Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I have a lid, so I know it didn't fall out. The snail must have eaten it :( so sad! The endlers are my favorite! Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I have a 13 gallon tank. Parameters amm <.25 (high amm level in tap water...adding second filter tomorrow), nitrite 0, nitrate <10. Inhabitants: 5 neon tetras, 2 black flame tetras, 2 endler livebearers, 5 RCS, 1 mystery snail. We added the 2 endlers on sat of last week. I have been keeping a...

Oops, they also said to put my betta in Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I have the same tank. The people at Petco told me that I could put 5 neon tetras, 2 African dwarf frogs, and 1 mystery snail in the tank 2 days after I set it up. Needless to say, my betta (who we had for abt 9 mos) died within a few days, and the frogs within a few weeks. The advice they gave...

We also have black and red phantom tetras. The black are more active, and don't seem to need as large of a school. The adf are really cool, but they can carry salmonella... They should be in a pair. They might require hand feeding as well because they are slower to get to the food. Very fun...

We just got endlers, and they are so cute and full of personality! They make me want to get an endler only tank ;) Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Just realized that pre filter got auto corrected to pretty filter! Ha! Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Aquarium Advice mobile app
