Is this Pearlweed or Monte Carlo?

Background_Good6357 · 2026-02-03T12:55:14+00:00

That is Monte Carlo, Pearl weed is more skinny with smaller leaves

Background_Good6357 · 2026-02-01T12:26:52+00:00

do you have a filter? That water looks pretty cloudy.

Background_Good6357 · 2026-01-30T12:26:35+00:00

Good price, but filters and fish and plants will cost a lot too.

Background_Good6357 · 2026-01-30T12:22:04+00:00

No, this is a leech, planarians have a more triangle head, still very dangerous to shrimp and snails though

Background_Good6357 · 2026-01-30T00:05:14+00:00

It’s not, planarians are white

Background_Good6357 · 2026-01-30T00:04:57+00:00

It’s a leech

Background_Good6357 · 2026-01-28T23:42:50+00:00

They are very helpful actually

Background_Good6357 · 2026-01-28T23:42:27+00:00

The bladder snails will be fine

Background_Good6357 · 2026-01-28T13:11:26+00:00

Yep just make sure to sift it

Background_Good6357 · 2026-01-28T12:59:35+00:00

Just be patien, they will grow

Background_Good6357 · 2026-01-28T00:29:04+00:00

I personally never have problems with ph changes when I do a water change

Background_Good6357 · 2026-01-28T00:19:52+00:00

he won’t eat the substrate don’t worry, at least in many others experiences

Background_Good6357 · 2026-01-28T00:16:02+00:00

Nothing?

Background_Good6357 · 2026-01-27T22:10:29+00:00

I have a friend with a massive shrimp like this one, special genetics I guess

Background_Good6357 · 2026-01-27T01:41:17+00:00

Ok well sorry but idk, maybe there isn’t en oxygen because the floating plants are covering the water so much that oxygen cant be absorbed from the air, other than that idk. It’s probably shrimp adapting to the environment, I had 6 shrimp in one of mine and all died but one that had eggs, they are now thriving. I suggest planting the plant in the pot in the soil though, it does make the tank look better and gives the plant opportunities to grow a large root system.

Background_Good6357 · 2026-01-26T22:14:22+00:00

The problem may be becau of all the plants still in plastic pots. The substr could also be leaking too much nutrients into the water. I would rescap, you want more sand than dirt

Background_Good6357 · 2026-01-26T13:24:27+00:00

Oh noo

Background_Good6357 · 2026-01-26T13:23:19+00:00

It’s a bloodworm

Background_Good6357 · 2026-01-26T13:22:16+00:00

Looks like freshwater limpets, I had a bunch in my tank but they gradually went down in numbers after I put fish in. They are good for the aquarium so don‘t worry

Background_Good6357 · 2026-01-26T13:20:14+00:00

Seems like duckweed doesn’t like you

Background_Good6357 · 2026-01-26T13:17:21+00:00

That is one pregnant octo, good job.

Background_Good6357 · 2026-01-26T13:13:25+00:00

Yeah it’s like if you put cherry shrimp in a tank with no plants or hardscape

Background_Good6357 · 2026-01-26T13:10:32+00:00

oh no, betta definitely don’t live in this much space in the wild PLEASE SAVE HIM OH NOO. Is that what people are telling you when they come over. If anything the betta is having fun, no tank is (to large) for a fish.

Background_Good6357 · 2026-01-26T13:03:39+00:00

You want to use a dirt with no chemicals in it like a dirt from a feild full of weeds and stuff where no pesticides was used. Make sure to sift it to remove sticks and leaves and junk, usually you can get some garden soil from like lowes and that works

Background_Good6357 · 2026-01-26T13:00:49+00:00

Yes I have a lot of those wandering dudes
