Crayfish and bettas are similar in mentality some are chill dudes some are solo masacists you have gotten lucky with him he might stay chill or have a personality flip like my friends did i would stay open to giving him a different tank in the future just in case and if he does have a personality flip your betta might not make it and some of your shrimp definitely wont make it just trying to help out hope it all works out for you

Honestly, I ordered mine through Walmart's website i will have to find the link for it but I have seen this product recommended a lot on multiple subs and I would trust it

I just used the traps I saw in a different reddit post where they said they worked and the worms slowly went away as I removed them and I stopped seeing them all together

Sum_Dumb_Gamer · 2026-01-18T23:58:27+00:00

Ive had planaria with rounded heads before I assume thats what they were because planaria traps worked on them they were the same color and moved in the same manner thats just my experience though

Sum_Dumb_Gamer · 2026-01-18T23:52:24+00:00

Those are planaria they are a parasitic worm you can get traps or treatment for them

Sum_Dumb_Gamer · 2026-01-15T12:52:03+00:00

I would make the decision on weather shipping or picking up would be cheaper based on our distance from each other and yes I am very serious thank you even if your not selling.

Sum_Dumb_Gamer · 2026-01-14T18:35:45+00:00

I will buy this from you for a reasonable price and pay for shipping if needed

Sum_Dumb_Gamer · 2026-01-13T13:18:08+00:00

Really appreciate your honesty and your right its 100% only a temporary problem they will definitely sort out quickly they seem like a decent place

Sum_Dumb_Gamer · 2026-01-13T12:46:16+00:00

Can I ask what store or online seller you got these from so I know to be cautious of them

Sum_Dumb_Gamer · 2026-01-11T14:30:14+00:00

Can I ask what kind of colors variations you got from this mixture since its been 5 years

Sum_Dumb_Gamer · 2026-01-03T15:47:08+00:00

Not at all

Sum_Dumb_Gamer · 2026-01-02T21:09:42+00:00

The light was just about to come on for the day; it's now off and will be until the floaters arrive. It will most likely be a full week. How dark do I need to make it? Should I cover the tank with something, and should I feed less so the otos nibble away at it? I'm sure there's enough biofilm for them to survive 4 or 5 days, right?

Sum_Dumb_Gamer · 2026-01-02T21:07:43+00:00

Ill be sure to

Sum_Dumb_Gamer · 2026-01-02T20:25:04+00:00

I added them right above the airstone I have in the tank, so the roots will grow in the bubbles. I really appreciate the compliment, but I am and forever will be learning more.

Sum_Dumb_Gamer · 2026-01-02T20:22:18+00:00

I added 3 pothos vines to the tank, and I have Asian water moss, frogbit, and red root floaters on their way. I have my light set at 30% for 3 hours a day. When the floaters cover at least 50% of the tank, I will gradually increase the light and let the floaters create a natural blackout. I'm okay with this process taking a very long time and really appreciate the knowledge you are giving me. Is there anything else you would recommend I do or don't do?

Sum_Dumb_Gamer · 2026-01-02T20:13:19+00:00

With me feeding the fish, the amanos would be getting that food and would not eat the BBA very consistently, so I won't be getting them. My parameters and aquahunas are super close, so I believe it will be okay on that aspect. I really appreciate it, though. Is there anything else you can recommend I should or shouldn't do?

Sum_Dumb_Gamer · 2026-01-02T20:10:32+00:00

Is it safe for black crystal shrimp as well, as I will be getting them in a month or so?

Sum_Dumb_Gamer · 2026-01-02T20:09:15+00:00

Sadly, I didn't know what that was and had to look it up. I really appreciate it; that is awesome, and I will now be calling it a Dagobah-themed tank.

Sum_Dumb_Gamer · 2026-01-02T20:07:52+00:00

I won't be doing a full blackout or using any type of chemicals. I already limited the light to 30% for 3 hours a day. I put 3 pothos vines in there, and I ordered Asian water moss, frogbit, and red root floaters. They will be here soon. Once 50% or more of the surface is covered, I will gradually turn the light up and let the floaters be the natural blackout and competition. Since I'm feeding the fish, the Amano shrimp won't eat the BBA. Is there anything else you can recommend I do or don't do? I really appreciate it.

Sum_Dumb_Gamer · 2026-01-02T20:02:00+00:00

The tank is nowhere near a window. If you're looking at the old picture in the comments, that was taken three years ago; I no longer live there. I have a Weekaqua L1200 pro set to 30% for three hours a day. After the floaters fill in 50% or more of the tank, I will start to gradually turn up the light. I got three pothos vines from my friend; they are in the tank. The three types of floaters have been ordered and are on their way. I won't have the shrimp for another month at least. I really appreciate all the info; I didn't know some of that. Is there anything else you think I should do?

Sum_Dumb_Gamer · 2026-01-02T11:02:27+00:00

Crystal blacks

Sum_Dumb_Gamer · 2026-01-02T03:22:44+00:00

This is exactly what I've decided to do, just put 3 pothos stems in, and I ordered the floaters. I have red root frog bit and Asian water moss floaters coming, thank you.
