I'm pretty sure it's a bladder snail. This is the snail the snail fairy gave me. I moved it to the ten because why not? Just double checking my google-fu.

My 20 gallon is kept in my daughter's room. It was originally hers. It's still kinda hers... she feeds them and helps with water changes. But maintenance and all that is my duty. Well, I went in today and noticed the HOB is dead. The waterfall part of it is bone dry. So... I keep a spare sponge...

This was just before the peak of the eclipse for me. I turned off the lights in the tank because it gets sun anyhow in the morning. I'm not even sure which fish it is that looks alight. But I'm really liking this picture.

Ever since I got Flash, I've been trying every single pellet on the market. He won't touch them. The frogs will eat them. He'll eat the frog's food. He'll eat the frozen food I give him. He'll sometimes eat a random cichlid food that I got as a free sample in some equipment I got. But he won't...

A few weeks ago I decided to move my otocinclus school from my ten gallon to my 40 gallon. In my ten I had dwarf frogs and a betta, and it just wasn't growing enough algae to feed them, and they didn't seem to like zucchini or seaweed much. I had seven in there, I thought. I only could find 5...

Young betta, probably female, and five neon tetras. We will probably be adding some more neons and some sort of Pygmy Cories.

How goldfish survive beneath frozen lakes. For the science geeks around here.

Tons of fry!

I got some hornwort at my lfs, and it's got little metal bands on it. I'd rather let it float around in a bunch than plant it, but I'm finding mixed things about what's in that metal. Some things say it's harmless, other things are saying it's lead and it will kill all of my fish and the...

I had a female crowntail before that I kept in with my mollies, and it was a pain to feed her because the mollies were so aggressive with their eating. I ended up rehoming her. One of my children wants female veiltails, and has been doing their own research, and is thinking of a sorority. I'm...

Uh. The food is actually setting in the fridge. I just put some of the non-set food in the aquarium that was on the mixing container. On the plus side there are about six mollies eating it and more are fighting to get into the container.

My daughter named him. This is my new betta to replace to replace the one that was abducted by aliens. He's in a ten gallon with 7 otocats and 5 dwarf frogs. (I've plugged up any possible escape routes in the lid and lowered the water.) He tried the seaweed right after I took this picture...

Got a betta. Quarantined him. He was fine. Put him in the ten gallon with my ADFs and otos. Other than a few "What on earth ARE you" moments between a frog and the betta, nothing exciting. Watched them for a few hours. Had to leave. Came back. Betta is gone. Moved every decoration. Checked the...

Usually two of them are hiding in the plants. Not sure why they all decided this side of the tank was the best place to be.

My 40 gallon bowfront has a glass lid that sits flat on the top. The lid came with a handle that was supposed to just adhere with whatever sticky glue was on the back. However anytime it's gotten wet, it's come off. I've tried hot gluing the handle back into place, which works for about a week...

This little one started showing up yesterday when I'm feeding along with another about the same size. No idea who mom is or where they've been hiding.

We had a pretty long power outage last night. I lost one molly who was sick and in isolation and I was probably going to lose anyhow. But my 40 gallon got WAY hotter after I went to sleep and was at 88 when I got up this morning. I lost two cories and my rainbow shark. I've done a small water...

I'm not even sure what just happened. I posted in another thread about the diatom problem I've been having in one of my tanks. This is a ten gallon with 7 juvenile (one in.) tiger barbs and five serpaes. And an ivory snail. Yesterday I put in two young male mollies to try and help with a diatom...

In what used to be my grow-out for my baby mollies, I now have a brown algae that I'm pretty sure is a diatom outbreak. When the mollies were babies, this was never a problem in that tank. It now homes serpaes and tiger barbs and an ivory snail. The snail goes on the glass at night and managed...

I have a platy I am trying to move from my 20 gallon to my 40 gallon. The water parameters are all the same except the nitrates in the 40 gallon are slightly lower. 20 vs 30. I've tried putting her in the 40 gallon twice. She eats fine. But unless I'm near the tank she's on the bottom clamping...

I've been lurking on the site for a while. I decided I should make a profile and maybe join in. I have four tanks. (Well, I have three tanks. My son has a betta.) My big tank is 40 gallons, has two full-grown mollies and 13 juveniles. And two swordtails. There's also a juvenile rainbow shark...
