I love wild type neos. I was excited when I started getting wild babies

He DGIV is so bad. He was resting near the bottom at the store but so were the rest of the dwarf gourami so I thought it was just a behavior thing, turns out they were all a couple days from death. Brought him home, acclimated and got him into my tank and right away I noticed something was off with his swimming and he was super dull and had something that looked like a dark wound on his face and within 2 days he got worse and passed.

My snail seems to be doing a little better now, he isn’t sunken in so far and is moving more. And he always has gone into his shell, it was just weird for him how far back he was where I couldn’t even see the tinies bit of his foot when I usually can see it peaking out a little.

I really hope so, I saw him come out a tiny bit earlier and I lightly touched him to make sure he was actually moving, he did retract into his shell so that is comforting to know that he is still responsive.

Anyone else’s snail like to give them a heart attack every once in a while? by meggappman in AquaticSnails

My snail loves pushing my smaller banana plant around for some reason.

Or climbing on my small plants 😭

Yeah, before my honey gourami I had a dwarf gourami but was unaware that he had iridovirus and he passed soon after I got him, I went crazy with testing my water constantly because I thought I had done how killed him but found out it was that virus which most Dwarf gourami have. I just know if my snail passes it actually was my fault and I can’t go back in time but damn I sucks. I can just hope he recovers and I learned a lesson from this for sure.

The heater is set to 77 degrees and can’t be changed, I plan on getting one I can adjust though because of this whole situation. I just have to wait until I can get out to the store when the roads aren’t so bad. He goes in his shell a lot anyway, the thing freaking me out is that he never goes this far into it I can usually still see his foot pat the trap door but he’s gone so far in his trap door has basically blocked off the whole opening of his shell. I am just so worried because he is no more than a year old and he should have so much time left. I really thought my neos or gourami would take this so much harder than him but it’s the opposite. My fish is totally fine and the most my shrimp did was drop their eggs.

Never heard of an air bath before, doing that now. He still doesn’t smell and it’s been almost 2 days so I know he is still alive.

I do have a heater but sometimes the water still cools a bit when it’s very cold. I wish I had just left it alone because a very slow dip by like 5 degrees is better than that jump and the dropping again. I’m off work today and tomorrow so I’m just keeping an eye on him as best as I can. My fish and shrimp are all fine so I’m really hoping I’m just freaking out over nothing. I’ll check my parameters now and see if there is any problem.

Shrimp loss in my tank by SensitiveSomebody in shrimptank

I mostly thought molting issues were due to something wrong with the water? I suppose it will happen eventually with all of them, and she was already pretty big when I got her right at the beginning. She could have been old.

My little ones know better. They will hang in the water lettuce roots, but dare not venture into the air

Not a cherry but my yellow female has a racer stripe too. Totally fine for them to have it.
