    Rabbit Snail gave birth..

    Hello- We brought a Rabbit snail home to our 20g tank a couple of weeks ago. Today we noticed a small little baby snail in the tank. It appears the snail gave birth. I am wondering if anyone knows if there is anything special I should do here, or if I can just go about my regular feeding of...

    Ammonia not going down & no nitrites

    Cleaning hang on back power filter w/o losing bacteria during cycle

    Title pretty much says it all. How frequently should I clean my Aqueon Quiet Flow 20 filter, and how should I do it? The filter carbon pad can be disposed, right? The plastic biological filter then just rinsed in tank water? Do I scrub it or anything? I do not want to kill the...
