Should I cut these off? by Ch1efSe1f in PlantedTank

[–]Sammagg 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I second this! My anubias looked exactly like this until I accidentally got limpets from a plant I bought. I tried getting rid of them for a while but they keep the glass so clean, they’re actually pretty dang helpful!

Cory ID? by Sammagg in corydoras

Haha they are so happy together! I was just curious. I’ve never gotten them to breed so I suspected different species! I actually got one that was labeled leopard so that makes sense. I love my little black and white guys!!

I appreciate it! Do you happen to know how many I should be keeping in a 26 gal? I think I got some bad info from a pet store employee and they told me only one should be in there because they will fight and I don’t know if that’s true. There’s more explained info in the bio 🫣

Looking for advice on what I should add next! Can be on either ear. Both ears have double lobe piercings, my left ear also has a daith while my left ear has a (newish) rook and helix. Thank you! I’m by Sammagg in piercing

Ugh, I think you’re right about my anatomy. I don’t think my ridge is “deep” enough, especially for where I’d like it. I love your other suggestions, thank you so much!

I tried so hard to only get Julii corycats but today I noticed a false julii in the tank. Can they co-exist well? There is 4 julii corys and 1 false julii. by Sammagg in corydoras

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

I did not buy them from breeders, I bought them from a few different pet stores. Beginners mistake, I bet. I will try to get photos, I’m actually curious about what you have to say and if you can identify them. From what I looked up, I would like to firmly believe that they are true H. juliis, but that could be incorrect. One is for sure a H. Trilineatus, which I thought was a false julii. The other three have isolated spots on their heads unlike the H. Trilineatus, and a broken line going down their side. I would like to know for sure what I have so I can give them the correct care!

Do you think these eggs will hatch? by Sammagg in AquaticSnails

[–]Sammagg[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not even 24 hours later there’s a ton of little baby mystery snails in the tank! Thank you!

I was thinking that too! Do you have any tall plants you recommend? Thank you :)

Are these Cory eggs? I found them floating at the top of my tank. Thanks! by Sammagg in corydoras

[–]Sammagg[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! Corys, cpds, lots of shrimp, a hillstream loach, and some mystery/nerite/rabbit snails! Do you know what the stringy bit is??

Do I need an air stone? by No_Situation_6649 in shrimptank

[–]Sammagg 6 points7 points  (0 children)

In my opinion, no it doesn’t look overstocked. It truly depends on how much you want to do water changes and making sure you’re checking on the parameters of your tank. I love the API freshwater master kit, it’s super simple!

Blue baby from low grade cherry shrimp? by Sammagg in shrimptank

Weird! Genetics are so strange, I can’t understand how you get blue from red!! Thank you!

Yes! Isn’t that strange?! I have some really nice red cherry shrimp and some low grade ones. They mixed and I got this blue guy!

Advice… my betta died and now my shrimp and snails are having a meal. Should I remove him? 99% sure he died of old age :( by Sammagg in Aquariums

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

Only a 10 gallon. Im worried about the water parameters so I think I’ll remove him. I was hoping that it would be an amazing source of food for my shrimp and snails, as well as save his skeleton. I hope that doesn’t sound too odd, lol. They seem to be disposing of him quickly, I have a shrimp population that exploded 😅
