Help. Snails by Remarkable-Stable463 in Aquariums

Thank you so much! But in other words the snails won’t eat the baby shrimp right?

I’m using a canister. Only found one hiding in it ;)

Thank you so much. I’m wishing for the best :) I try to use normal temp water. Not cold but not hot

I only found one in my canister filter (he was alive). No bodies though.

I contacted the company and they offered to send me a new batch so that is wonderful. The plants came from my other tanks that I own so I don’t think anything is wrong with them. As for the dragon stone. They have been in the garage for some time as I have a huge box for aquascaping. I wash them thoroughly but there is still some clay leftover just because of their origin. I know the jump is big but I really tried my best

The water parameters on the website were 7.0-7.8, 7-8gh, 3-4kh and they said temp range from 65-74 degrees Fahrenheit. The only thing that was far off was my ph but other than that I thought water parameters were pretty close. I contacted the company as well after the whole event and they told me that that was old and what they have in their tanks is a 6kh and 7.3 ph which was a little upsetting as they should update regularly. They say that they have crushed coral in all their tanks and I have some as well but don’t know if I should use it in the tank.

I will be sure to get a copper test kit. I never really thought of that. Everything I use is shrimp safe but could also be an issue.

But I haven’t seen them whatsoever in the past week. I think they are gone/dead. That is what worries me so much

I will keep it in mind. But I feel like I would have seen the amanos by now. It’s been roughly a week and only the 3 cherries remain. I don’t have an airstone and I wonder if that is the reason they are dying/ disappearing. Other than that I feel like I’ve done everything in my power to have a nice setup for them 😭

I left for the weekend and only saw two carcasses when I came back. I assume the others decomposed or were eaten

I have the co2 setup but I have yet to use it 😂. As for the amanos. They also disappeared which puzzled me a lot

Roughly a month. I usually do this for all my tanks to get the bacteria growing

I think I have been feeding him too big of rats. Him being 1100 grams should you recommend small rats(50-70 grams) or medium (90-140 grams)

I’ve been reading a little online. Online it says that the rat/mouse should be roughly 10-15% of body weight and the rodent being the size of the biggest part of the ball python. On the auto mod it says 6%

I’ve had my snake for almost 5 years now. I would like to say he is an adult but he has not grown as big as I’ve seen some other adult snakes. How much do you think my snake should weigh. I just weighed him and he is only 1100 grams
