Hi,
I have a 10 gallon planted tank. In this tank I have guppies and Cory doras.
I have a couple issues in this tank. The main issue being that lately I’ve had some of my guppies dying, and I’m not entirely sure why. When I test the water, everything always comes out fine.
I’ve had an issue for awhile now where the filter seems to get clogged up. I generally can take out the sponge and clean it and it’s fine. But it’s a lot of dark gunk in there. I was wondering if anyone has has this issue with their substrate or any ideas on what I can do about it? Or if it’s a different issue than this?
I have also always had some pest/pond/whatever snails in there, but I got assassin snails awhile ago that seem to at least keep the population at a fairly reasonable level.
Thank you so much for any help!
