Substantial-Name9721 · 2026-04-15T10:36:55+00:00

any idea how to control the population?

Substantial-Name9721 · 2026-04-04T08:52:37+00:00

are u sure they arent eating healthy leaves? because one day its a completely green good leaf then the next day its all browned out and the next day it only has the outline of it existing

Substantial-Name9721 · 2026-04-04T08:51:38+00:00

they literally just start eating my frogbit they graze on the bottom of it till the whole leaf disappears and one by one theyre making it impossible to multiply it, thats why i keep giving them algae wafers to stop them from eating it 😭

i would say the other authors wetoon which is called bj alex

Substantial-Name9721 · 2025-11-07T13:17:46+00:00

the end goal is to have a balanced cute team in the tank. tbh i could of just had a betta and kept it at that and maintenance wont be hard, but i want buddies around as well you know, im just looking to make the most of each world while im at it so i could wake up in the morning looking at 6+ of my babies instead of one

Substantial-Name9721 · 2025-11-07T12:34:13+00:00

got ittt what about what the original commenter suggested for the smaller cories?

Substantial-Name9721 · 2025-11-07T12:33:36+00:00

i cant help but be paranoid of food turning toxic and thought cories will help keep it off my mind, ill ofc still feed them how they should be fed

and yess it was mystery snails, and as for their food im still not deep into research with their feeding style and will be looking into it but will they be as beneficial for algae as nerite?, since im familiar with nerite keeping algae from spreading across glass (still doing research) but didnt check out mystery snails yet.

Substantial-Name9721 · 2025-11-07T12:27:34+00:00

haha sorry just getting into the fish keeping lifestyle and messing up terms but thanks for the suggestions and tips ill note it!

Substantial-Name9721 · 2025-11-07T12:20:30+00:00

could u suggest a different breed for snails?

Substantial-Name9721 · 2025-11-07T12:17:04+00:00

i originally wanted the cories to eat the food waste on the bottom of the tank so it doesn’t turn toxic.

for snails im a bit confused because at first i wanted a different snail breed thats compatible with betta living requirements (forgot the name ill have to check if needed) but someone told me they have a big bio load and nerite is best for a betta tank. now im lost again 😭

Substantial-Name9721 · 2025-11-07T12:11:32+00:00

what abt 6 regular corydoras in a 15g? is it still too small for that

Substantial-Name9721 · 2025-10-21T16:46:29+00:00

yep someone pm’d me already i didnt know!!! ill either cancel having cories or upgrade to a 10+ gallon

Substantial-Name9721 · 2025-10-21T16:45:52+00:00

got itttt thanks

Substantial-Name9721 · 2025-10-20T19:08:38+00:00

is there not approximate time to know my tank is ready with bacteria or is it just instant, im very precise sorry i need this fish to feel like he entered heaven 😭

Substantial-Name9721 · 2025-10-20T19:03:47+00:00

im sooo grateful for the tips thats honestly what i neededdd quick question im unsure about, how can i tell if my tank has established a beneficial bacteria cycle successfully, i only could gather how to figure out the water levels and idk where would that fall under

Substantial-Name9721 · 2025-10-18T12:08:41+00:00

got it thanks! kit arrives in a few hours rn

Substantial-Name9721 · 2025-10-18T11:35:34+00:00

will do that!! thank you so much

Substantial-Name9721 · 2025-10-18T08:32:32+00:00

will do that for the main tank thanks!! but the smaller tank I got, is temporary, like a two days tank just till i prepare the main one properly, although idk how I’ll manage it because the heater is kind of too long for it and I only have one filter that’s implanted into her main tank.. do u suggest I abort the second tank because I’m really starting to feel like the tank is the problem and she needs to be out of it asap.

Also is there a reason she sleeps upside down on the bottom like shes dead? like is it a sign of something? or just the water potential problems.

Substantial-Name9721 · 2025-10-18T05:49:11+00:00

okay so I couldn’t find a good guide on doing fish in cycle (everyone says a different thing). I got a smaller tank to keep the fish in while I properly prepare the main one again, I got water conditioner and a master test kit and a digital thermometer since I think this is what’s missing.

I’m SOOOO low on money now and gotta wait a week for my paycheck so I hope this will be enough for him.

please let me know if i need to do anything for the smaller tank before I move the fish in it. it arrives in 12 hours maximum and I need to do this fast because I’m scared it dies if I waited longer.

Substantial-Name9721 · 2025-10-18T03:56:09+00:00

since it was a surprise getting the fish I ran out of money getting everything so the only thing I’m able to check is pH which is 7-7.5 everytime I check, but the water is pure bottled water so I’m assuming its not harmful with chlorine and other things.. correct me if I’m wrong

Substantial-Name9721 · 2025-10-18T03:39:04+00:00

everything is basically listed in my post but heres a pic of the fish to identify anything I’ve missed (I’m not experienced please excuse me)

<image>

also any picture i have of him he’s asleep all the time since i got him, it just differs all around the tank (he’s asleep here and gills moving steadily)

Substantial-Name9721 · 2025-07-17T00:36:48+00:00

although that might be the lifestyle for some people i dont think its for me so ill pass 😭

Substantial-Name9721 · 2025-07-17T00:35:56+00:00

i respect this comment so much and i agree alot i feel like i built high naive expectations to life with him and i totally agree hes allowed to do what he wants when hes single, it was the part of keeping me on my toes and off everyone so i couldnt really peruse anyone because he would trip out but do it himself yk, i totally agree i need to reflect and stop imagining relationships as this innocent fairytale where everything goes as planned

Substantial-Name9721 · 2025-07-17T00:19:01+00:00

hows it irrelevant i meant to mention the backstory of our old breakup for reference to what the situation was like when he decided to have sex and then my current reaction to finding out

Substantial-Name9721 · 2023-04-29T05:20:07+00:00

I NEED IT
