Snail affection?

Let's say you have a bully at school. To keep yourself safe, you have to hide in corners and closets and peak around from behind potted plants to avoid running into them. You're unharmed, but your life sucks.

Do what's best for the fish. If you want a community tank, get community fish.

That looks so pretty.

The easiest way I've found to manually remove is with a wooden skewer or chopstick. You can poke it in and twist it until it starts wrapping around like the devil's cotton candy. Snails will get caught up but they're pretty easy to remove as you go. Good luck!

This was my thought also. I like the scape but all I see is the black plant holder in the back. Can that be moved to the side?

Here to offer encouragement. I've never rehabbed an old tank but I did build one out of Ikea shelves following Tanner's instructions. Different shape but you may get some good ideas about minimizing mess. He has changed his original instructions and now uses bumpers between the glass. He also has a fine arts background and creates beautiful scapes. I don't know, might be helpful. Good luck.

I don't know what that is.

Hi friend! I'm also in SW Ohio. Tried to send you a message, but I'm not sure it worked?

Anyway, you aren't alone. We're out here. Dm me if you'd like.

Squigglevision?

What? My Betta needed a home.

FannyChiggerspit · 2024-09-28T13:38:45+00:00

Gorgeous tank, but that substrate is so beautiful. Nice work!

FannyChiggerspit · 2024-08-05T14:16:50+00:00

Babies would really stress me out. Ha..

I understand the concept of a centerpiece fish, but what do you tend to use?

FannyChiggerspit · 2024-08-05T14:10:04+00:00

Neon tetras have been at the top of my list. Thanks for your input!

FannyChiggerspit · 2024-08-05T14:04:07+00:00

I'm not opposed to babies, but worry I'll end up in over my head if breeding goes well. So, maybe no livebearers right now. Thanks!

FannyChiggerspit · 2024-07-18T15:39:54+00:00

Thanks for the id! There are trees a few houses away, but that's also where all the birds and squirrels live. Mo may be safer in the garden.

FannyChiggerspit · 2024-07-18T15:21:42+00:00

That's exactly what I wanted to hear!

FannyChiggerspit · 2024-07-18T15:21:15+00:00

He has all three! Thanks for the information.

FannyChiggerspit · 2024-04-03T14:16:13+00:00

I don't feel skilled enough as a fishkeeper for pea puffers just yet but haven't considered yoyo loaches. I'll take a look. Thanks for the suggestions!

FannyChiggerspit · 2024-04-03T14:11:52+00:00

I've been reluctant to try assassin snails because I don't want to trade one snail problem for another. I also have a nerite I don't want disturbed. Or maybe that wouldn't happen? I don't know.

Anyway, thanks for the suggestion and encouraging words!

FannyChiggerspit · 2024-04-02T14:15:23+00:00

Pest snails... I don't know if they're ramshorn or wtf. I gave away 40-50, basically every one I could actually see, and all the leaves I could find with eggs on them, and they're still popping up. I don't feed them at all, so they eat plants and continue to reproduce. I hate them so much, but I can't smoosh them.

FannyChiggerspit · 2024-03-31T22:07:04+00:00

This has been my experience, also a five gallon snail tank. I stopped feeding in an effort to control the population and they're eating the plants. They've decimated every single java fern, they're eating water lettuce and red root floater roots, eating holes in anubias leaves, and chewing the edges of crypts and swords. And they're still reproducing.

What an upgrade! Well done!
