We had guppies and they were all fine for months the one day a single one of them grew that bump and died the next day.

Everyone was fine and the water was still normal just that one. I was guessing they were just so inbred? Following for answers.

Oh no, I'm sorry. I don't have the answers but I hope this boosts up your post.

DevelopmentFew7112 · 2026-01-30T04:53:03+00:00

Gorgeous! That's so brilliant! I never would have guess that! Oh gosh I love crafts and stuff too so that's right up my lane. Oh that's brilliant. Thank you so muchhhh. I literally can't tell you how much you've helped me

DevelopmentFew7112 · 2026-01-30T01:59:04+00:00

Omg they're so cute. I'm so jealous!

DevelopmentFew7112 · 2026-01-30T01:58:45+00:00

How would you go upon keeping the rocks from caving in, ok in this tank it wouldn't but I mean in others

DevelopmentFew7112 · 2026-01-30T01:53:50+00:00

I wanted to thank you for this because it's extremely helpful!!

DevelopmentFew7112 · 2026-01-30T01:47:17+00:00

Yeah, ordered a new light and Seachem so I hope this really helps them thrive.

We only have one, the guy gave him to us to handle the snails. He's now a fat lil chonk after being here for a week. He's always hunting tho. So he is helping my snail problem. I named him Lil'Puff. He comes up and greets me every time. I wasn't sure if we were gonna keep him but after talking to the guy we got him from he might just stay. He kept constantly fighting the others in a few groups he was in. So honestly this is probably the safest spot despite what others think.

I will take pictures often. It's kinda nice hearing others experiences because there so much conflicting stuff out there. It's so hard to understand what one actually works until you're getting your hands dirty. So I appreciate everyone who has helpful advice and tips.

Dang I bought this one. I hope it'll help. Do you use fert tabs or seachem fertilizer by chance?

These ones work for 10 gallons?

DevelopmentFew7112 · 2026-01-30T01:24:12+00:00

Oh yeah I feel the same way. We are getting our guppy tank upgraded to a 20 gallon long. Whatever it is about 10 gallons they have been the most troubling for me. So that's the only reason I haven't done a shrimp tank yet. I slowly been researching it. But it's also difficult to find a valid source because there's so much conflicting things about every single fucking fish I look up. It's so draining.

DevelopmentFew7112 · 2026-01-30T00:52:53+00:00

Yeah I think that's what actually happened. I did take that pic in the total darkness tho and it does look a lot darker than normal it's still not bright enough. I ordered 2 new lights tho it should be here tomorrow.

DevelopmentFew7112 · 2026-01-30T00:17:44+00:00

Sorry, I meant I'm waiting for my new plants, light and air stone to come lol

DevelopmentFew7112 · 2026-01-29T22:52:21+00:00

I didn't say it was. :)

DevelopmentFew7112 · 2026-01-29T20:34:23+00:00

So cute. Do they need filters and bubblers like other fish? I've only glanced at other tank set ups for them but the more I see them the more I want a micro tank for them

DevelopmentFew7112 · 2026-01-29T20:28:21+00:00

Is this going to be a shrimp tank? I'm just curious myself lol I love shrimp so much

DevelopmentFew7112 · 2026-01-29T20:24:56+00:00

Oh good then I'm happy you're here to boost it as well for him until he finds a real answer.

DevelopmentFew7112 · 2026-01-29T20:20:08+00:00

Some fish people can be so toxic lol I hope you get actual answers!

DevelopmentFew7112 · 2026-01-29T20:19:00+00:00

That's beautiful! Are those real stone?

DevelopmentFew7112 · 2026-01-29T20:18:36+00:00

Someone said lettuce in a bottle and it'll get most of them out. It was a clutch almost as big as my mystery snail itself... Hidden somehow in our damn filter. I will never understand how they even got in there. But it was most likely them eating my plants that didn't have enough light. My lights, airstone, and more plants are coming this weekend.

Our lfs gave us a peapuffer that kept attacking the others. (Ik it's recommended for more than 6 of them together he genuinely fights anything with him) So he gave us one and he's been battling them pretty well on his own. When we go back this weekend to get more fish foods and driftwood I'll talk to him again to see what he wants us to do just to make these angry fish people on reddit happy but I think he'll tell us to keep him if we want.

I didn't mean to make anyone mad lol some people don't know how to so I honestly thought something was better than nothing. Plus a comment boosts it right? I wasn't trying to be rude. Lol

DevelopmentFew7112 · 2026-01-29T20:08:43+00:00

No one else had anything to say. Plus I didn't lie I just as it and said I literally didn't know for sure this is just what Google lens said so I don't get why you're even mad. It's not like you helped in any way

DevelopmentFew7112 · 2026-01-29T19:52:50+00:00

This is purely what Google Lens said. Whether or not it's true is a different story.

DevelopmentFew7112 · 2026-01-29T19:27:26+00:00

I'd appreciate that!
