I recently received java fern that claimed "guaranteed snail and pest free". It is the only new plant in the tank and now I have a plethora of tiny snails. They seem to grow quickly and are multiplying like crazy! I really don't mind them but what are they? Just a pond snail? We started out with...

Thank you so much! You have been extremely helpful! I will test the tap for kh and will hold off on the (yes, tetra) easy balance.

And the angel was the first one I added he swims and eats and doesn't seem to be bothered.

The angel is why I used the ph down. How do I bring the kh down?

I add the easy balance every change which so far with fish has been weekly if not every 5 days.

Okay just did a 25% change and while dumping water in a dead, fuzzy fish emerged...it was the newest molly, not Bendy, she is still with us, and looking a little bit straighter, I might add. Probably the reason for the ammonia spike, yeah? He must have died over night. Retested ammonia and it...

The ammonia is not coming down...it looks like it has gone up!

Found them! Thank you!

During pwc I add aquasafe and easybalance

Thank you. It is new. Only up 3 weeks so all my fish are very new. Ph looks to be 8 now. Kh is high between 180 & 300.

Yes, 7 is tested straight away. In the tank is live plants, a few plastic plants that were on the cave decor and another fake decor. No limestone or rocks.

Okay. Will my angel be okay with 8.2? I have tested my water for ph and it is an even 7. I have not tested for ammonia. My other tank has ammonia level of 0 and I use the same water for that. Will test water for ammonia and I won't add any more ph down

I just added ph down last night. I will test it again tonight along with trites and trates and ammonia. I got metafix that I am going to try for her.

Thanks, guys!

I guess I'll try the baby brine and see what happens.

I am a touch confused about what is best to feed my ADF. On aqadvice I read they don't need freeze dried bc it can kill them and they will not eat flakes. But then the girl at the store said, "oh, just feed him flakes like a fish!" I have a feeling she may not be correct. Then I read that freeze...

Nitrates are 0, nitrites are 0, ammonia is .25, pH is a bit high at 8.2. She is still pooping and eating.

Anyone?

My molly is crooked about halfway back to her tail... she was not like that when I got her and she only lives with other mollies and one tiny angel fish. She is still eating but hides in the cave most of the day. She can still move her tail but the bend is always bent never straight. What could...

Thank you. I thought they might!

I'm not really sure how to ask this without sounding crazy or dumb but I will ask anyway. Will different color mollies breed or do they stick to breeding with mollies of the same color(s)?

Thank you everyone for all of your advice. The water quality is good. I do water changes weekly and the parameters are good, I keep a close check on them. It is not a new tank and he was definitely not one of the first fish I put in it. He has plenty to eat and is not starving except maybe for a...

Our 29g hiding space

I just wanted to stop in and say hi and introduce myself and my tanks. I have never really considered fish as fun pets until last October after a trip to an aquarium and all my daughter could talk about was having fish. So, for her birthday we set up a little 5 gallon tank in her room. Being she...

Well that is what I was reading and why I started wondering what he was. I have him in a tiny 5 gallon with 2 mollies. I definitely can't fit 4 unless I take out the mollies.
