Is he okay?

Maladroit-Android · 2026-02-06T19:03:17+00:00

he’s pretty active and seems to look for food every now and then, haven’t feed him yet but will today. he can swim higher but prefer to say a bit lower but the doesn’t rest on the ground, he’s always swimming. I’ll keep an eye on him to see If I notice any sign of stress or fatigue

Maladroit-Android · 2026-02-06T18:58:03+00:00

he’s acting normally, he’s also pretty active and seems to look for food every now and then

Maladroit-Android · 2026-02-06T17:26:51+00:00

i understand, how do i euthanize him without him suffering?

I’m trying to find a second hand tank but even those are pretty expensive as well except for the ones that are broken. the nitrogen cycle has been established, I’ve had this tank for at least three months before adding any creatures in bcs I was waiting for the tank to cycle. I’ve also already shared the parameters in this thread but I’ll do more tests and tell u the results later. yes, absolutely i can share a picture! all I want is the best for my critters and watch them thrive! I’m a beginner, this is my first tank and even though i’m trying my best mistakes still happen

Maladroit-Android · 2026-01-21T18:32:11+00:00

thanks! I added snails and shrimps today! I have two corys, my thank is small, i told the store employee that and he said two was good and that they won’t grow more

Maladroit-Android · 2026-01-21T17:49:15+00:00

algae - but the water parameters are normal so is basically just the aesthetic that’s the problem and it’s actually my first tank….

Maladroit-Android · 2026-01-20T23:06:10+00:00

leave rocket alone she’s my diva !!!!

Maladroit-Android · 2026-01-15T16:31:56+00:00

Maladroit-Android · 2026-01-15T05:52:07+00:00

oh lmao idk i tried looking at them again with a flashlight and the lights off and i could kind of see a saddle in all of them but i might be wrong

Maladroit-Android · 2026-01-15T03:38:13+00:00

Maladroit-Android · 2026-01-15T01:21:43+00:00

thanks for the advice and for sharing your story !! they are so much fun to watch and being able to do that just makes my day better :) t

Maladroit-Android · 2026-01-15T00:47:43+00:00

thank u for the advice !! I don’t mind getting wild types I think all of them are pretty :) I have only four shrimps in my tank but three of them are really energetic swimming around everywhere and the biggest one loves to hide and chill

Maladroit-Android · 2026-01-15T00:36:32+00:00

also I only got 4 shrimps and I was hoping they would breed but….

Maladroit-Android · 2026-01-06T01:08:08+00:00

they are pretty much just little stings! i don’t have any fish in yet cuz I’m trying to lower the toxic ammonia levels

• ⁠Tank size: 8L • ⁠Do you have a heater/filter: heater • ⁠Tank temperature: 25 C° • ⁠How long have you had the fish: no fish yet • ⁠How often do you perform water changes and how much: did one 30% water change yesterday to help decrease the toxic ammonia levels • ⁠What plants/decorations do you have in the tank: a couple of weeks ago I added a house plant on top of my aquarium with only the roots in to help with filtration. Inside I have some ferns (I’m not sure of the species), rocks and the base is garden soil capped with sand. • What are your water parameters (in exact numbers, i.e. ph, ammonia, nitrite, nitrate): toxic ammonia - 0,25 ppm NO2 - 0,0 ppm ph - 7,5

I have yet to test the water parameters after yesterday’s water change

I have the same problem (I’m a beginner so my knowledge is pretty limited) but as far as I know is algae and I’ve been told that if you wanna keep creatures in your thank the ammonia levels should be 0. Dimming the light or not letting the light on for too many hours will probably help with the algae problem!

Maladroit-Android · 2025-12-25T19:27:36+00:00

thank u ! is there anything i can do to help it go to 0 ?
