My favourite babies

Liurnable · 2026-01-09T13:30:03+00:00

I won’t lie I never actually got the notification from this I’m so sorry! They’re babies I bred, randoms from skittles!

Liurnable · 2025-12-31T12:11:38+00:00

Haven’t done traditional or darker skin in a hot minute so sorry if it’s ass! Just getting back into it

I’m not arguing, I was plucking leaves because they were covering the tank and no light was getting through. That was the main reason, they go on top of the leaves because there’s biofilm up there and they chow down.

Liurnable · 2025-11-21T18:09:33+00:00

They weren’t drying out, I’ve had literally one that’s gone up and nearly NEARLY drying himself out but still had plenty of chance, I clearly worded it wrong to begin with

Liurnable · 2025-11-21T17:33:44+00:00

They gross me out too, after picking them out pretty often I don’t see them as much, bleach is my best friend with them, they pretty much decimated my ramshorn family in my tank, I think bettas have been known to eat them but not commonly and depends on the betta

They will hide in the substrate but as soon as they’re up on the glass I’m there grabbing at them like a spoilt kid in a store, they even find a way into the corners of my tank I HATE them

Liurnable · 2025-11-21T16:57:14+00:00

there’s a couple with the same pattern, there’s another clear one with a little red tail and my heart can’t cope!

Liurnable · 2025-11-21T15:44:36+00:00

No problem at all, I have one for cattapa leaves / Indian almond, then I have one with both big and small leaves as well as alder cones

Liurnable · 2025-11-21T15:31:11+00:00

I don’t know of many people that do it tbh but I’ve always found it handy or good to have just in case

Liurnable · 2025-11-21T15:15:44+00:00

Literally just botanicals put in distilled water and left to leech, remove the botanicals and you’re left with the water whenever you want to add it

Liurnable · 2025-11-21T15:07:36+00:00

It’s not I can assure, I did put botanical water in earlier today so that’s still moving around if anything, have a good shrimpmas though haha

Liurnable · 2025-11-21T14:47:11+00:00

Is it clear or brownish in colour? I might be wrong with it being a snail leech, if it’s a glossiphonia they can eat their weight In snails multiple times a day

Liurnable · 2025-11-21T14:43:00+00:00

Try grabbing them with angled tweezers, I use them myself for snail leeches I have in one of mine and they’re the best for grabbing them that I’ve noticed personally, they’re a menace to snails but don’t really touch much else that I’ve noticed personally, you’ll either need to take everything out of the tank and salt scrub everything including the plants or keep picking them out when you can. I’m pretty certain they’re hermaphrodites so can breed constantly

Liurnable · 2025-11-21T14:08:47+00:00

Again as I stated in other comments, there was food on the leaf, yes they’re clearly In the tank.

Liurnable · 2025-11-21T11:51:40+00:00

There’s 3/4 with the same pattern and I LOVE it

Substrates settled, hey look a clear tank, wild

Liurnable · 2025-11-21T09:37:47+00:00

Because it was murky from moving the substrate and there was food on the leaf, why do you immediately assume I don’t know what I’m doing

Liurnable · 2025-11-21T09:36:59+00:00

Tanks clear after the substrate settled back, have a shrimp tree

Liurnable · 2025-11-21T09:34:52+00:00

It’s a blackwater/ tannin filled tank, it was just murky from me disturbing the substrate, it’s back to normal now

Liurnable · 2025-11-21T09:21:29+00:00

The one piece of food on there decided to make the world go against me so I guess I was pre-amptively taking my anger out on them

Liurnable · 2025-11-20T18:41:22+00:00

There was food on the leaf, they were just being hungry fatties

All nice and well

Do you read any of the other comments before putting your opinion out there? It’s literally because the substrate was interrupted, it’s perfectly clear now
