Its hilarious, but not every corydoras catfish at my LFS had this super long fin, and it made me wonder "why?". So if anyone could answer that for me id appreciate it! I looked on Google and i couldnt find anything

I would pick cherry shrimp over crystal shrimp if you are new to the hobby, which it seems you may be. Crystal reds have very specific water parameters, rili LOOK like crystal red shrimp, but they are just regular cherry shrimp with paterns

Thanks Autumnsky, i was waiting for you tbh lol. This is my second bamboo baby, the first one lived for almost 2 years before my centerpiece betta bit a huge chunk out of her causing her to die, no more agressive fish. I do infact know about the GH and KH and im buying kits today to check my...

Heres my breeding tank, i set it up so i could sell them to afford a larger set up... but my mom bought me one for christmas lol!

Thank you sm, but unfortunately i read this too late. He was eaten the day i put him in the tank (i didn't think my cardinal tetras were even big enough, they aren't full adults) i wasnt worried about the special care needed or that he was deformed, i chose him to take him home and give him a...

TL:DR bamboo shrimp lost the foremost section of her right leg during molting, will she die/bleed out? So i recently bought a bamboo shrimp for my 20gallon tall and she has been acting strange. I thought she was just feeling out the tank for a week before she set up shop and started fanning...

I was at the lfs buying a bamboo shrimp and some assassin snails, when i noticed this strange looking tiny fish. I asked the man what it was and he said it was just a baby guppy with a crooked back. Well the guy let me have him for free, ill attach the 2 best pictures i could of him(her?who...

Update if anyone would like to know: The new tank is doing great! The amano was transferred and she seems to love it, I also bought her a friend(another female amano). The tank also has some rili red neocaridina and i believe during the newyears celebration they got busy and one shrimp is now...

Hey, so i set upy tank a little while ago and ive been letting it cycle with live plants and this little guy came over on one of them. I tried to remove him but i ended up pushing him into my substrate, never to see him again. Until now! Could anyone help me identify him? I like the shell and i...

From the picture It looks like most of those plants are real, Do you use CO2 injector? Ive heard horror stories of DIY or even store bought injectors killing fish during the night while the plants are asleep and not filtering the CO2 out of the water as efficiently

Heres another view along with the uncropped photos for "better" clarity

I forget the name of my plant! Can anyone help lol i believe its fairly common (: thanks

Hahaha oh thats so scary isnt it!? I had her do the same thing when i first got her. Now i have a weird way of acclimating, i use a plastic bag with needle holes and ill float for about 15-20 mins, but you say you tranfered them when they were over 3 years old?

Turns out caridina propinqua is the orange sunkist bee shrimp while mine are neocaridina davidi i believe just orange

I use an unused "flavor injector" lol its basically a big round syringe with no needle. Moss ball would look great, but i didnt want to take up too much space

Maybe not, but around me orange sunkist is a common name for the orange neocaridina and thats what the lfs listed them as xD . Im not too interested in breeding the orange ones i chose them because the red cherries at the lfs all had that white speckle parasite around their mouths i forget what...

The old tank is very stable, and i have put clippings in the gravel substrate yes. My question was would she die sooner than later because i thought she was at the end of her life, but Earthmother told me her amanos are 7 years old! So im going to keep her where she is because that is her home...

Oooo nice! "In captivity" said 2-3 years when i looked it up, i was worried. I was just gonna put her in the tank for now, while im still planting it, until she died. Good to know she still has some years left!

Hey congrats! I got into the hobby a few years ago when i started working at a local pet store when i discovered FRESH WATER SHRIMP they are tiny, cool, and colorful and move about the tank so well if kept by themselves. Perfect for a 10 gallon, you can have up to 100! And they breed like crazy...

If youre interested in crustaceans check out neocaridina shrimp, they are fresh water and come in a bunch of colors and styles. Theyre real small and you can have up to 10 per gallon but i had an accidental breed operation that got me over 300 shrimps in my 10 gallon planted so the number varies...

A 14L tank would be too small for a hang on back filter with a betta. I have a HOB for my 10 gallon (37.8L) and my betta likes to go into the flow every now and then almost as a game (they are incredibly smart fish). I agree a sponge filter would be best in a tank of that size or less so, but...

Hello everyone, I'm a relatively small tank owner, i own a 10 gallon community tank with an Amano shrimp, 1 zebra danio, 1 red eye tetra, one sparkling gourami, and one betta. It had more, but that have all died as the tank is over 3 years old. I also have a 2.5 gallon planted tank (picture...

What do you think of my mason jar shrimp tank for a desk at work? Only 3 in there (however i did add a teeny tiny baby in case one died, but they all survived for what is 2 weeks as of posting this) and a ramshorn snail for clean up. Java moss, mermaid weed, and what i was told is giant...

This is a very particular question, but i have a 3 year old Amano. Shes been bred (unsuccessfully, i failed at salt water) and has outlasted her male and other female counterparts. Shes living in my old community tank that has 3 of the remaining fish and 1 new guy (a betta) and i thoughti lost...
