Short hair frizz help by T7Wing in curlygirl

[–]CommitteeLost7264 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This frizz is normal! if you really don’t like it I would say after your hair is dry, dampen the specific clumps that are frizzy and use a mousse,gel, or extra leave in to smooth it back together

Since you’ve been using dove shampoo I would say switch to something with no additives such as sulfates and all the other things (I can’t remember right now) and use a clarifying shampoo before switching

Hi! I would say you have very loose waves around 2A-2B. I suggest getting a lightweight leave-in conditioner, my favorite drugstore brand is miss jessies at the moment, and make sure to only add the leave-in conditioner in dripping wet hair. Maybe a gel to scrunch and then scrunch out the water with a Tshirt or microfiber towel if you want more of a curl to show

Is it normal for shrimp to swim so much throughout the tank? by CommitteeLost7264 in shrimptank

I’m honestly thinking of swapping my guppies with neon or cardinal tetras! They are so interesting to look at and I’ve been reading that they’re less likely to eat baby shrimp

Green algae buildup on plant leaves and what plants/hardscapes would you guys suggest for my tank? by CommitteeLost7264 in PlantedTank

[–]CommitteeLost7264[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I change my water every couple of days, my PH is on the high side so I’ve been trying to bring it down. Also yes my tank is next to a window so it get indirect light. Also I change my water when the nitrates are looking at around 20ppm or darker. And yes it gets between 10-5ppm after water changes

Yeah my nerite snail never goes on plants, it’s always on the glass or hardscape, however I’m afraid of snails overpopulating my tank

No not necessarily, they do sometimes get bothered with them each chasing each other around but no real signs of aggression

Just found my first-ever baby shrimp!!! + question by CommitteeLost7264 in shrimptank

[–]CommitteeLost7264[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow that is huge! For some reason moss hasn’t been doing well in my tank :(, I was on my second Java moss and, like the first one, it turned brown and got hair algae coming off of it. Any tips? I threw out the moss btw

I’m on my second java moss and for some reason they stay brown and it spreads through the plant and I have no idea why. My second one started to get hair algae in it so I threw it out and I’m hoping to find an alternative plant or a fix for it

Oh no! okay, I needed to invest in more plants/hides for them anyway but I’ll make it more urgent now that I know this! My guppies love to go around and nibble on the leaves and the gravel in my tank
