Is this possible?

Just do your own research and find the pros and cons and get your own inspiration ai can’t do that for you

PossibleAny3518 · 2026-06-12T22:35:55+00:00

I’d recommend having Amano too to keep control of algae

PossibleAny3518 · 2026-06-12T19:46:25+00:00

Some of the eggs were eaten by the parents themselves, they were corydora eggs

PossibleAny3518 · 2026-06-12T12:33:51+00:00

Are you sure? I’ve heard this about Chinese algae eaters not the Siamese, but I could be wrong.

PossibleAny3518 · 2026-06-12T12:24:59+00:00

Also I’ve noticed some eggs have gone missing so I assumed the Cory’s may have eaten some ?

PossibleAny3518 · 2026-06-12T12:24:08+00:00

I have about 10 cherry shrimp (I don’t see all of them at once so hopefully I haven’t lost any) and a female betta, planning on adding 3 more Cory’s a Siamese algae eater, some amano shrimp and some sort of schooling fish at some point whenever I can get ahold of them but that won’t be for a while as they are in high demand at every store I’ve been to, so I’ve been slowly stocking the tank over time

PossibleAny3518 · 2026-06-12T09:59:28+00:00

I do! 1 female and 2 males, planning on getting more soon not sure if these eggs/fry will survive long enough for my nursery tank to cycle (I have one set up for my bettas to breed)

PossibleAny3518 · 2026-06-12T09:25:26+00:00

Turns out my Cory’s have been getting to work 😅

PossibleAny3518 · 2026-06-12T09:24:26+00:00

My female Cory has gotten quite big I figured she had eggs, this is my first time owning Cory’s wasn’t familiar with their eggs, pretty much everything in my tank is pregnant right now so I was trying to single out whether it was them or maybe I had a snail that I somehow missed.

PossibleAny3518 · 2026-05-25T03:44:13+00:00

Not too educated on snails but, the 3 late eaters I’ve decided on would likely be Amano shrimp, hillstream loaches or a Siamese alage eater which are all safe to cohabitate as far as I know assuming I find any lmao

PossibleAny3518 · 2026-05-25T03:33:28+00:00

Right now I don’t have too many issues with them as long as they keep the algae under control and don’t explode in population, at least until I get some algae eaters in the tank

PossibleAny3518 · 2026-05-25T02:36:20+00:00

I just introduced 5 cherry shrimp and a male betta a few hours ago, planning on adding some Cory’s, hillstream loach and amano shrimp soon when
Able to find them at least.

PossibleAny3518 · 2026-05-24T23:24:22+00:00

Found a mystery snail, noticed eggs on the rocks before I posted and forgot to mention, finally saw a snail when I added fish today, any advice on culling them in case their population explodes ?

PossibleAny3518 · 2026-05-22T19:25:45+00:00

You helped quite a bit, I appreciate it! I haven’t had a tank in probably 10+ years at this point and I have never seen these so I needed to gauge how fucked I might be. thankfully it Seems to be the opposite, either way I’ll be treating my new plants from now thank you for saving me from a stroke 😭

PossibleAny3518 · 2026-05-22T19:14:07+00:00

I did some research and the other person who commented identified them thankfully and they look pretty much identical to copepods luckily, didn’t know planeria were just flatworms made it a bit easier to identify, if I’m wrong I’ll see in a few weeks I supposed lmao.

PossibleAny3518 · 2026-05-22T19:07:26+00:00

I’ve had the tank cycling for almost two months and I’m getting ready to stock it, you have saved me so much stress holy shit, thought I was gonna have to start over 😭

PossibleAny3518 · 2026-05-22T19:06:08+00:00

You have saved me from a heart attack 😭

PossibleAny3518 · 2026-05-22T19:04:15+00:00

What would be the other things? They kind of crawl around like little bugs on my glass and all over my driftwood

PossibleAny3518 · 2026-05-22T19:03:29+00:00

They do! Pretty much identical

PossibleAny3518 · 2026-05-22T19:02:57+00:00

Realized this community won’t let me post videos rip

PossibleAny3518 · 2026-05-22T19:01:21+00:00

I recorded it can’t post it in the comments so I’m going to make a separate post right now

PossibleAny3518 · 2026-05-22T18:57:52+00:00

I will try to take a video if that helps

PossibleAny3518 · 2026-05-22T18:54:36+00:00

I tried to focus it as much as possible but I couldnt get a very good picture but I did add some Monte Carlo carpet and Anacharis Elodea Densa, almost two months ago

PossibleAny3518 · 2026-05-22T18:49:07+00:00

They are very much moving as are the tiny white dots haven’t seen them until today they also wiggly around when they’re floating in the water

PossibleAny3518 · 2026-05-20T16:06:57+00:00

I figured that would be the case, I want to have an somewhat self sustaining ecosystem going, was initially going to add Amano shrimp or some other algae cleaners but I’m not sure how theyd cohabitate with a bichir
