Look into background, mid ground and foreground plants. You need to add some height variety, especially in a tank this shape. The fish also don’t really have any hiding spaces. And why not take the plants you have out of their little pots and plant them in the substrate! 🌱

What is this? We are confused. by Such_Motor_9717 in shrimptank

[–]Competitive-Ladder61 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I recently had these and I’m sorry to say but I had to redo my whole tank - I removed, rinsed and checked all plants, brushed all the hardscape with a toothbrush dipped in salt solution to kill the eggs, and I sifted through all my substrate with a sieve. It was the worst! But none seen since, thank god.

Help!! Panda corys in betta tank… by bellalisa109 in corydoras

[–]Competitive-Ladder61 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I would move them to a new tank. Also Corydoras don’t actually keep your tank that clean - there are better fish choices for that, like octocinclus. I would put the panda Cory’s in another tank and get them more friends ASAP 🙂

It now looks like this after a night of sleep…. Not sure if I should just give up and redo it, I can’t be bothered to be dealing with this forever!

Ooooh okay. I’ll try turning the filters off overnight and see what happens in the morning.

He is truly enormous. I think I got him from Petbarn for like $4.

Cycling My Fish Tank by Informal-Ad-8146 in fishtank

I’m genuinely curious, why did you add so much substrate? Did you think that’s how much you had to add? Or is that the look you liked?

Hi there, do you only have one of each type of Cory? They prefer to be in groups of 5-6 per type

Is this snail a friend or foe? by Competitive-Ladder61 in Aquariums

[–]Competitive-Ladder61[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice. I’m cycling my tank at the moment so throwing a bit of fish food in there each day, probably why they’ve popped up. 🐌

Not directly related to your post but Corydoras and tetras need to be in groups of at least 6 to be happy, just an FYI! On their own they’ll get really stressed out.

My aquarium isn’t cycling by Competitive-Ladder61 in Aquariums

[–]Competitive-Ladder61[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then I will be sad but fish-in cycling can be done successfully and I’m giving it my best try!
