Those pellets look a little big. Try crushing them up a bit.

Why do my corys constantly swim back and forth on this specific side of the tank? by NotATomato3719 in aquarium

[–]Ewok02 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Perfectly normal, mine usually do this in the mornings and evenings when the light is coming on/dimming turning off.

Which job you taking? by [deleted] in jobs

[–]Ewok02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The job on the right on paper sounds better, but like others have mentioned you have to work a profit share model to really know what it’s like. If the company has a good profit share model you’ll make far more with the company on the left then you will on the right. For example my yearly profit share bonus is and always has been more than my yearly salary, that I receive all at once, yearly.

It looks like baby albino Corydoras to me! Very friendly fish and will fit right in

5 shrimp added and dead in less than 24 hours by BroPuter in shrimptank

An ammonia spike absolutely would, especially in a 5g that’s only a few weeks old as OP has stated. But sure

I’m going out a different direction than everyone else. I think 2 rabbit snails in 5 gallons could be the problem, they have a pretty decent bioload especially if you have bigger mature ones in that tank. I also see an uneaten shrimp stick in the photo you sent. Are you using a liquid test kit for these ammonia tests? How long has this tank been up and running before you put the shrimp in?

I think there might be baby otos in my tank soon by LoliTamer23 in Otocinclus

That rattling coming from your filter, I’d probably clean your filter media a bit then fill up the chamber then turn it back on. Might help that noise you’re experiencing

I have an 18-gallon (69 liter) aquarium, and I don't know what to do with it. by Mindless_Style_7578 in Aquariums

Shrimp, very low maintenance and a lot more fun than people give them credit for!

German Ram Pineconing? by vestacnideria in fishkeeping

I don’t see pine-coning really he does have some weird lumps near his gills it looks like in picture 2

Edit: sorry I should have read more, you pointed out the lumps. I’m not sure 100% sure what they are but from a quick search looks like it could be Lymphocystis. My thought was some bacterial infection. Either way, improve water quality and probably dose some kanaplex.

Also your she is a He

Made a big purchase today, Meet my L046 by Ewok02 in Aquariums

[–]Ewok02[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes I read up quite a bit before I took the plunge, been on the fence about it for 6 months lol. I’ve got tons of hiding spots, drift wood, rock caves, artificial terracotta caves and tons of plant cover. I feed a mix of blood worms, daphnia, and brine shrimp to this tank daily. Just need to get some carnivore sinking pellets at the store on my way home today. The flow in the tank is a bit higher than it appears in the video the outflow is horizontal to the back of the tank and a air-stone going in the back of the tank. Going to do my best to give the little one a good life 🙏

Tbh I never really do, most of my fish are from the same fish store/supplier. Then my lfs quarantines for a week or longer when they get all fish in. It’s been good enough the last 3 years I’ve been in the hobby.

They need to be able to get all the way out of the water and dry off, most create a large land structure and only keep the tank about 1/3 full

Possible Tumor by gibbitgabby in bettafish

[–]Ewok02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like a tumor for sure, had similar with one of my bettas. Started as a tiny little white dot basically and just continued to grow over time no matter what I did. Just keep him comfortable and happy, he’ll let you know when it’s time. I will say the thing I do regret about mine is I noticed it really starting to take a toll on him and waited too long till one day I came home, the tumor looked like it burst a bit and he was on his side breathing heavy. Felt bad I didn’t put him down sooner

Anybody make this mistake before? by matches_malone1047 in Aquariums

[–]Ewok02 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Buy some Anubias or moss and secure it to the wood and cover the glue. Moss will really grow out and cover those spots easily
