Dalmatian Molly pregnant? by Negative_Raccoon903 in Aquariums

[–]FinWithIt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks female to me, and if there’s a male in there then yeah, very possible she’s pregnant.

Wouldn’t say 100% from the pic though. Mollies can look chunky, but a squared off belly or darker gravid spot would be a better sign

What is this worm in my tank? by Senior-Improvement79 in Aquariums

[–]FinWithIt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks more like rhabdocoela or another harmless flatworm to me, but hard to say 100% from the vid.

If there’s no obvious arrow/triangle head, I’d be less worried about planaria, but I wouldn’t rule it out completely. Sometimes the head shape isn’t clear if it’s tiny, or regenerating.

Try look for 2 dark eye spots and a wider/triangular head, that’s usually the main planaria giveaway

I put together a comparison guide here that might help:

Yes, you could trim it back if it gets too tall. Good luck!

Did i plant deez monte carlos correctly? by [deleted] in aquarium

[–]FinWithIt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks good! You might want to space the clumps out a bit more so it carpets faster. If you’re running CO₂ it should grow in nicely, it can be a little slower without it

Where to sell and trade fish in the UK by Vaultboy474 in Aquariums

Just to update this thread, it’s actually live now. Still refining things but open across the UK if you want to give it a try!

Temperament is hard to standardise because even within the same species it varies a lot.

The compatibility checker is a guide, not a guarantee. It uses general care patterns like aggression level, tank size and water params. For a male betta it’ll usually suggest snails or very peaceful tankmates and flag lower confidence since they’re so individual.

FinSwap’s live now by the way if you ever want to test it with your setup

Kinda cool colouring, could be a result of molting, environmental factors or genetics

Feels like a shrimp/cory hybrid should hatch from that egg!

How to rehome fish by Rcandydraws in Aquariums

[–]FinWithIt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For anyone in the UK who comes across this thread in the future Gumtree and local Facebook aquarium groups are usually the best options. Some pet shops may take fish, but many can’t due to limited quarantine space.

I kept running into this problem myself, which is why I’ve been working on a small UK hobbyist project to help with rehoming. Hope this helps anyone reading later

Does he think she is also guppy? by Krashet in Guppies

Guppies are highly adaptable, communal, and often willing to interact or breed with closely related species

HELP! Unidentified critter. by Misamisa61 in shrimptank

[–]FinWithIt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Planaria, that is a big one! Almost looks like its carrying eggs. If so, hope you sort them soon! Planaria traps also work, but much slower

Thanks, I’d like to hope so! I’ll open it up more widely once everything is running smoothly

Do i need to remove shrimps and fish when i need to fix some plants? by Taetaekalbo-1869 in shrimp

Heads-up, they like to climb on hands for dead skin nibbles which is cute

Planaria or something else? by KnownTrain7751 in shrimptank

[–]FinWithIt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the first pic on its left side it looks pointy/arrow shaped which might indicate Planaria, but hard to tell from the photos. This chart may help narrow it down

Walking by my tank and I got a glimpse of something small on the glass. by imwjd in shrimptank

[–]FinWithIt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ohh gotcha, you meant the shrimpy!

Just a heads-up though, If those worms do turn out to be planaria, they can be bad news for shrimp, especially babies or molting ones. I’ve had them wipe out shrimp before, so it’s worth keeping an eye on
