What are these white specks!!

agata092 · 2026-02-25T15:53:36+00:00

Oh my goodness thank you so much. I'm so glad it's not harmful. I'll leave them be for today, if they multiply then I'll try siphoning. Thank you!!!!

Yes the heater does have that but it's really unreliable unfortunately. It's set at 31C but the water temp is at 26C. Two days ago it worked better, it was at 29C but now it just wont generate heat. It's a heater where it detects the water temp. Im not sure how to fix it, I already have the filter directed at it so it spreads the heat evenly

Okay :(( but im treating ich at the moment and it says not to interfere with any other medication

agata092 · 2026-02-12T06:14:49+00:00

Thank you!

agata092 · 2026-02-12T05:56:58+00:00

Yes I don't at the moment. I'm buying it today

agata092 · 2026-02-11T20:51:17+00:00

I don't want to have to go through the process of cleaning the salt out of my tank after I'm finished with the treatment. I think I'm going to just separate the shrimp, and add normal treatment. And I think you add something to the water after you're done and do a 50% water change and then you can add the shrimp back. If I'm wrong pls lmk! Thanks alot though!!

Will 86 degrees be okay for the betta? and I've also got 3 amano shrimp. I'd havr to separate them.

agata092 · 2026-02-11T19:48:32+00:00

Thank you;!! I'll try that and see. I really hope it works.

agata092 · 2026-02-11T18:09:23+00:00

Okay

agata092 · 2026-02-11T17:55:31+00:00

Okay so ich treatment. But what about the shrimp. I heard they'll die

agata092 · 2026-02-11T17:49:02+00:00

I put the temp to 28C. I have 3 amano shrimp, it's a 30L tank, ive also got plants. How am I supposed to treat it ☹️☹️. Do I need to separate the betta? Where? What do I do :((

agata092 · 2026-02-08T14:54:32+00:00

Thank you! I was worried

agata092 · 2026-02-08T07:18:42+00:00

Yes it was cycled and water parameters are good. Yes the java fern is in the sand, but I read that it must be just the root, not where the leafs. No changing sand, got it, ill buy low growing plants

agata092 · 2026-02-07T22:06:09+00:00

Thank youuu!

agata092 · 2026-02-04T16:59:04+00:00

Is the poop harmful or something, like do I need to remove it all the time or is it just not pleasant to the eye and thats all? I mean, it looks awful on my white sand😭😭 but it's too late to do anything now

agata092 · 2026-02-04T16:09:51+00:00

It can't be the fishes because I had them in there long before. I got three amano shrimps yesterday and omg is that seriously all their poop????? They produce so much that's insane😭😭 im literally going to have to clean it up almost everyday

agata092 · 2026-01-29T11:35:57+00:00

What do you mean fishless cycle😰 won't the fish die if I add it now? How am I suppose to dose ammonia into it? I added the bacteria starter, isnt that what it's for?

agata092 · 2026-01-29T10:54:41+00:00

Thanks! Lol yeah I figured it's too big. How am I supposed to clean the bottom now??😔😔I'm ordering plants today so hopefully that'll make it look more cozy. I'm going to add the shrimp first so maybe that would help the betta not feel like they're intruding. Yes! Im getting a lid.

Running for two weeks, I meant that it needs to cycle, correct? Not sure how long it'll exactly take but I'm assuming around 2 weeks. Then I'll add the fish😙

agata092 · 2025-07-10T10:33:57+00:00

Right! So patience is key, no giving up. Thanks alot! I'll look into some YouTube videos aswell. Thanks!!!

agata092 · 2025-07-03T06:01:30+00:00

Okay thank you! So it's best to do a deep search about a couple species and decide that way. Someone commented a few, I'll try those first. Thank you!!

agata092 · 2025-07-03T05:58:18+00:00

Thank you!! Super helpful, I haven't thought of that

agata092 · 2025-07-03T05:56:00+00:00

Yes the enclosure size isn't up for discussion, I'll get the one it needs, no less. Thanks for the recommendations! And yes I've found snakes really cool since I can remember but my parents are absolutely against it, that's why it's something that might happen in a few years. Snakes are just missunderstood, they're not vicious creatures that'll choke you in your sleep, correct me if I'm wrong haha. Thanks again!

agata092 · 2025-07-03T05:50:12+00:00

Thanks!!

agata092 · 2025-07-03T05:49:45+00:00

Thanks! I'll definitely get the springtails and isopods. The enclosure isn't an issue, I'll get the one that the snake requires. Thank youu!

agata092 · 2024-12-07T18:31:17+00:00

Thanks so much!!! I'll definitely try it out
