    Snail identification

    Is anyone able to identify this snail. I probably won't be able to get a better photo. Its from a tank with 1 female nerite snail, and 1 mystery snail (sex unknown). Im trying to convince someone nerites and mystery snails can't hybridise, but they are convinced this must be what they have...

    What kind of shrimp is this?

    New to the shrimp keeping side of things. Bought 6 red cherry shrimp, and a couple of extra shrimplets got caught in the bag. One has clearly developed into another red cherry shrimp, but the one in the video is clearly is a different kind. Im sure someone can identify it for me. On a side...

    Fish hybridisation

    Ive been going down a Quora rabbithole the last couple of months. In amongst all the conspiracy theories put out (i do enjoy a good conspiracy theory), there have been a few aquarium related topics. These are often AI generated questions and answers to keep the site active, but one answer posted...

    Social media, youtube, etc.

    So, i posted this a few days ago. Ever since this post ive been getting recommendations for capybara related content on all sorts of social media. This is the latest. Im a self confessed technophobe. People that understand these things, is everything i do online really that interlinked...

    Lifespan of a plant?

    Has anyone ever had a plant just die of old age? Plants arent immortal, they will eventually stop growing and die. But i have no idea how long an aquarium plant will live. All i can find online is a site that says Amazon Swords can live a couple of years, which is clearly nonsense as they live...

    Mystery snail/ Apple snail

    I found this amusing today and is an example of how you guys have americanised me. I was in my LFS a few weeks back and asked about mystery snails. We dont call them mystery snails here in the UK, they are apple snails. Confused looks, so i corrected myself and asked them about apple snails...

    Fluval Flex 57

    My first new tank for a couple of years. Fluval Flex 57 litre. Got a good deal on it, maybe 20% off typical prices. Just set it up, filled with water in the kitchen. Going to let it run for a couple of hours, drain it down, move it into its final resting place in the dining room, and hopfully...
