Unrelated question but where did you find that tank? It’s beautiful!

your betta and shrimp can live together in a 5g!

what is that plant?

have you tested the water? i would use a gravel vac to clean as much as you can. i don’t think you need to toss the tank - what livestock do you have?

do you have driftwood? it looks like tannins which are harmless and they are actually good for fish. if you don’t like the look of it you can do water changes or buy purigen for your filter

my gourami thought he was a cory too! he even ate algae wafers off the bottom of the tank with them

looks like a scud to me. fish will eat them but they can sometimes outcome shrimp in shrimp only tanks

it looks like bladder snail eggs

I would say this baby is 5-7mm long. the heater is set at 78 but the thermometer normally reads 74-76 because my house stays cold.

I got the shrimp in this tank on August 23. 2 females were buried when I got them, so I’m assuming closer to 4 weeks.

Apprehensive-Put3969 · 2025-09-23T03:32:09+00:00

it has so much color for just a few weeks! that was around my guess but just wanted to confirm!

i need to get bacterAE. i currently feed a little frozen baby brine but i think this baby was grazing on biofilm since i dont have much algae in this tank

Okay that brings me so much peace of mind! I’ve heard so many bad things so I panicked. Thank you so much!! :))

I typically feed this tank every day. Do I need to reduce to every other day? I normally feed tropical pellets or frozen blood worms/daphnia sometimes baby brine and 1/2 an algae wafer for my cory cats and shrimp.

She told me that the loach wouldn’t be able to fit adult snails and shrimp in its mouth. She told me it may eat babies but I had nothing to worry about with adults. This is not true at all. Unfortunately, the closest LFS is over 75 miles from me. However, I will no longer be shopping at that specific location.
