It's strange coz I have never seen the snails/ shells move but they are always in other places- do u think it's then moving or could the fish be moving them?

Thanks billd- I had never thought of it like that! I'll keep an eye out- hopefully after a few days it should clear its self

I recently bought a live plant attached to a terra cotta urn- I too has cone shaped snails in my tank. I have not a bloom of them but see a shell every now and again! None have ever been moving though!

Thanks mumma of 2! I was a little worried- my filter was a lil sluggish and was full of algae and stuff. It is much better now. All good to hear! It looks a bloom- very fine particles suspended in the water! ;-) hope it clears soon

I Do regular water changes and have for the most part healthy fish. I have had my tank set up for for 7 months. 3 days ago I did a clean out of the internal filter parts. I was careful to rinse all peices in tank water and I only swished the water round on the parts to get the large bits of...

I don't have a set up for a hatching tank- I really didn't expect eggs! I only get her sat from aquarama! I knew she was huge but didn't realize she was a she or full of eggs :-)

What are my chances of getting fry if I do nothing with the eggs? Some of the eggs are a creamy color not white. They are in a community tank with rummy nose tetras, neon Terra's, cherry barbs, assorted corries, a beta and bristle nose catfish. Also is it a god sign that she is laying eggs only...

My betta gup used to spend much of his time on the castle but recently he sends the days sitting next to my filter motor on the corner. He is still social with the other fish but only retreats to the castle at night to sleep. Is this normal or should I be worried?

This is gup

Hi guys. I have a red male betta in my 130l tank. He is called gup! He is so smart! I have taught him to swim into a net to be fed when the lights get turned on. He is actually very docile! He is a push over. I have never seem him get aggressive however he is very moody! If I leave him in the...

Thanks for advise guys- I sort of already knew that but thought just maybe it would work! :-) looks like yoyo or dark loach it is!!! :-)

I have been doing research and I have narrowed it down to 3 types of fish. Either yoyo loach which I am still a little concerned about the asult size. Silver dollars which I am concerned about the size and the possibility of aggression and dwarf gourami- I have read 50/50 reviews on...

A friend of mine has said to put some clean cotton wool in the filter! This will help collect the algae! It gonna be a big job but continually change the cotton will coz it will continually go green! Also when he had greenish water- he continually did water changes and eventually it gets better...

Thanks for the tip! I have almost given up on coryies! I have 2 bronze which are great guys nice and fat. I will eventually get more but want to wait until I have a good amount of time with no Cory deaths. And I will def be going to a new shop. I have just found this great store called aquarama...
