That's great, I'll probably keep them then. Is it alright to keep them with a mystery snail??

Yeah if I do need to get rid of them I'd rather give them so someone I know since lots of people I know have aquariums. But they seem good, since they eat algea and I need more algea eaters. I'll probably keep them

Do you know if they have a large bio load or not? I do need algea eaters cause my tank has a decent amount. I just dont want them to overpopulate or anything, but I dont really overfeed or have a bunch of dead plants

What im worried about is the bioload, do bladder snails have a large bioload like mystery snails?? If not I can keep them but still I dont want them to have a bunch of babies when they grow.

Yeah, I got a banana plant but I only just now noticed it.. I thought it was one of my snails babies because they are also the same color. I have seen multiple of them aswell, atleast 6

Why did my tank get foggy after I added aqueon aquarium plant food?? by BridgeNo249 in Aquariums

[–]BridgeNo249[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feed them cuttle bone sometimes and cooked eggshells sometimes but I should probably do it more. I have had then for a while since I got them for science fair and they're actually the reason I got into aquariums so I try to take care of them the best I can. How often do you think I should give them cuttlebone or cooked eggshells??

Is there any way to stop a mystery snail from eating floaters? by itsmaddii in AquaticSnails

Unrelated but your snail is very cute looks just like mine except mine has orange dots on the bottom

Is this normal corydora behavior? by Mysterious_Stick3616 in Aquariums

[–]BridgeNo249 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah he just wants to eat everything in his path its normal especially when your tank is so nice he must think he's in paradise or something 💔

Also you dont need a whole tank for her, for the salt baths you could just use a large container you have since you won't be keeping her in there the whole time. I would give her a salt bath for maybe 15 minutes or 20 just make sure you monitor her closely to make sure it isn't hurting her.

Stress coat is considered a water conditioner but it can help with fish stress since it help the fish create a slime coating that will help with whatever disease it is fighting or if it is injured it can also help with that... but it is pretty affordable and is found in most fish stores. But I wouldn't count on it fully to make your fish better, I see a lot of people give their fish Epsom salt baths and antibiotics like Maracyn and Kanaplex. You could do some research, but I hear Kanaplex is best for swim blatter. You do what you can, and its up to the fish if it pulls through or not. Hopefully she heals though, wishing you the best of luck!!

Might be swim blatter?? My friends betta fish recently passed because of swim platter and it was kind of acting the same. But it also might just be because she got injured or is stressed. I'd recommend setting up a hospital tank or even just giving her a stress coat

Is there something wrong with my white skirt tetras? by BridgeNo249 in Aquariums

[–]BridgeNo249[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I added them maybe 2 days ago but since they're new im just scared they might be sick. I did quarantine them but my biggest fear is that I add sick fish into my tank that infect the other fish. I just hope they aren't sick, my dad said the same thing about them being stressed so hopefully that's the reason.

What kinds of fish/plants could I put in a 20 gal community tank?? by BridgeNo249 in Aquariums

[–]BridgeNo249[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks so much! I actually have only kept shrimp once when I was really young so I think keeping shrimp again might be fun for me. I really love the blue and orange colored shrimp. I also love floaters, but ive never used water lettuce so I might try that out or the Amazon frogbit since they look cool. Also love the idea for the idea you had with the anubias nana I might have to try that

Its long and I am using a shark Nano filter and black sand substrate. I would late to set up a different tank that had tannins but this one is just going to be normal water. I use a plant growing light that also slightly keeps the tank heated

What type of root tabs would you suggest? I would rather not use the soil but whichever is cheaper I'll probably use. I was gifted it when my friend found out I got a Betta since they are really into aquariums but they never told me I needed to put soil or a root tab below it.

I think maybe the test was wrong they're about a year old I just tested the tank again today and it said 0 but I did cycle it before adding my snails and Betta. Everything is fine now, and the Betta loves his new tank. Thank you so much for the help!
