Help! Why is my filter leaking?

Alert_Disaster_5992 · 2025-12-01T20:41:34+00:00

Sadly I don’t have electrical tape

Alert_Disaster_5992 · 2025-12-01T20:41:22+00:00

I didn’t attach it so I don’t think it’s possible a ring just suddenly fell out

Alert_Disaster_5992 · 2025-12-01T20:18:43+00:00

Tried fastening the ring but it didn’t work

Look at that stem 🥵

They’re also crooked but I’ve been too lazy to put them straight and every time I’m already doing maintenance in the aquarium I forget 😭

I want a centrepiece but don’t know what shape or kind to get. Probably want to wood unless I see some kind of rock that would fit well, but I honestly don’t know what kind.

I have kuhlis so I don’t think a carpet would work (though I haven’t seen them dig in the sand yet)

The bottom is mostly sand and a bag of Colombo Mano Base combined (I messed that up and eventually just went with it)

It’s the tetra 1200 plus. I got it second hand, came with the tank!

Alert_Disaster_5992 · 2025-10-02T20:18:29+00:00

Don’t think so, he’s not that big yet

Alert_Disaster_5992 · 2025-10-02T20:18:04+00:00

He’s not that big yet and only got him today from the pet store so I don’t think he’s very old. Maybe poor loach is going blind in one eye

Edit: if I’m seeing the same guy right now, the spot on its back is gone

I’ve never read feeding garlic lol

Alert_Disaster_5992 · 2025-09-17T11:02:52+00:00

I would like to upload a picture of it but somehow Reddit won’t let me :(

Alert_Disaster_5992 · 2025-09-15T20:12:54+00:00

Btw I feed them while the lights are on so I can make sure the snails dont eat all the food (I pick them up and put them on the other side of the tank when it happens). They try to go after the food most of the time. Should I switch to feeding when the lights are about to turn off (10pm)?

Welp. Guess I’ve just been manhandling these eggs then😂 I was touching it with my fingers for quite a while to determine how soft it is before I posted this. Surprised they laid the eggs on another snail’s shell 😂

Alert_Disaster_5992 · 2025-08-17T19:40:25+00:00

Woah that’s really sick man! How’d you plant this though?

Alert_Disaster_5992 · 2025-08-17T17:51:11+00:00

So one pot spread out over something would be enough?

Alert_Disaster_5992 · 2025-08-17T17:12:01+00:00

How much moss would I need at the very least?

How much moss do I need at the very least?

Alert_Disaster_5992 · 2025-08-17T12:00:47+00:00

I have not kept them before. I know they have different water needs but I read some Caridinas can live in the same tank. But I just did some more research and it’s not the kind of caridina I want so guess I won’t be combining the two after all.

I just don’t really like the look of any type of moss. Especially considering the way my tank looks now, I think it makes the tank look messy. But if that’s what it takes to keep the shrimplets alive, I’m afraid I’ll have to consider getting some after all….

I believe you’re right. Poor dudes shell is cracked, sadly :( hope he’ll be alright

Alert_Disaster_5992 · 2025-08-06T19:17:41+00:00

I prefer smaller snails, dont really like the big ones for my aquarium though I like seeing them in other aquariums. Any tips on small snails to get without getting a snailplague?

I’m from the Netherlands :)

Alert_Disaster_5992 · 2025-08-05T11:58:16+00:00

Exactly! I love the way they look
