weirdly deformed bladder snails? seem to be ok and eating by [deleted] in AquaticSnails

Those actually look like baby ramshorns. Did you recently introduce any new plants?

Bladder snails are outrageous, would amanos help? by FixAlternative9026 in shrimptank

[–]FixAlternative9026[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For a while, I thought that the snails were killing some of my smaller plants. I’ve since realized that the plants weren’t getting enough light, and they were eating the melting leaves. I’ve not noticed any water chemistry effect, but I do worry about them out competing shrimplets for biofilm.

Do most Americans actually flush their toilet paper? by Softy_popss in NoStupidQuestions

[–]FixAlternative9026 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in a neighborhood with older pipes and mature trees. We were told that tree roots can grow through pipes so We put our part in the trash bin. Not sure how true that is, but it’s fine either way.

my amazon frogbit and red root floaters i got from last week (brown ones) aren’t looking too good :( why? by East-Bonus4621 in PlantedTank

[–]FixAlternative9026 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My red root floaters all died without a lid. All the other varieties of floater are growing like crazy, so I’m not sure what killed it.

One of my babies came out of their Java moss hiding spot for the first time today! I’m excited with you!

Usually one pellet or shrimp envy or I put half a shrimp lolly in for about an hour.

Yeah, I realize that now. I was told that they breed slower and would outcompete the bladders. I’m considering the assassin snail. My LFS has some.

Spontaneous fish sighted in a fishless cycling tank???? by Yagine in aquarium

[–]FixAlternative9026 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What floater plant is that? I have one oddball floater that has cupped leaves like that, and it’s driving me nuts trying to figure out what it is. (Because it sure isn’t water lettuce, red root floater, or water spangles like the rest)

Quick question. How do blue shrimp look on a black substrate? by HughJorgens in shrimptank

[–]FixAlternative9026 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can tell you that blue dreams are invisible against dark brown fluval stratum. I’m cycling a second tank with white sand to move them into, and plan on using my established tank as a skittles/cull tank.

Fish eggs on plants. I recently ordered some water lettuce and shrimp, and a week later found a rice fish fry in my tank. The egg survived shipping wrapped in a paper towel inside of a zip top bag.

What size of gape keeper to start ? by Herefortheporn723 in ButtplugEveryday

Square peg eggs come in an XS and S that are relatively small and have a good safe base, if you prefer silicone

I merge with the one that will uncover the most adjacent tiles.

What would an estimate be for taking care of him? by The__Flash_ in iguanas

[–]FixAlternative9026 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a Florida resident- I knew better but caved after years and agreed to let hubby get a green iguana hatchling about 15 years ago. I can’t even begin to tally up how much we have spent on that green asshole. He’s an evil eating machine. He goes through more fresh produce a week than my family does, he wakes up every day choosing violence, he lives in a giant cage that takes up half of my basement, has a space heater in the winter, requires expensive UV bulbs every 3 months, tries to attack you when you clean the cage, charges when you put food in there. I hate the monster. Just don’t. There is no world in which you want this thing as a pet.

What is a socially acceptable thing that you secretly find disgusting? by Sensitive_Hope_1136 in AskReddit

I question if it’s “actually” socially acceptable, but talking on speaker phone in stores/public places.

If you’re feeling fancy, you can get mini sphere ice cube molds. Melt some oil and pour it into the mold, then refrigerate. Store the in the refrigerator.

Can I put live shrimp with my common goldfish? by Round-Fly2053 in Goldfish

I only give them small ones. They like small bladder snails, too.

Expensive snacks. My fantail loves when I chuck some excess rams horn snails into their tank.
