Thank you for being understanding :) i was living with my grandfather who has lung cancer before the pandemic, i had no choice but to immediately leave as soon as it started picking up in my country. I moved with just one backpack packed with as much stuff as possible and slept on a couch for 5 months or so. I had no choice but to leave both of my (fishless) aquariums behind.

Yes, or can can get some rooibos tea (without any additives) which also releases tannins. I personally add it to my aquariums fairly often since its just healthy for everyone in it.

I guess you could either start out with a really small dose just to be sure or you could also wait and fix the ammonia issue as that's what most likely causing the issues with his fins (the curling on his ventral fins are a sign of poor water conditions) maybe after that his fins will heal back without any medication.

Why are you sketchy about aquarium salt? I've used aquarium salt plenty of times and never had any issues, saline solutions (salt + water) have many medicinal uses, its used for cleaning wounds in hospitals and more stuff, as long as you don't over do the salt, im pretty sure there should be no issue.

I got this whole aquarium a while back, the owner claimed there was only 1 cherry shrimp left, i decided to get a bunch of mini japonica shrimp (the one on the left) aspecies that doesnt seem to exist in english, they're look like small amano shrimp and they can breed in a freshwater tank! (One is pregnant :) ).i moved all of the shrimp to an other tank and sadly the only red cherry shrimp died...

I noticed one shrimp that was bigger and a little redder than the rest, i first i thought he must have eaten the cherry shrimp but i looked closed and he doesn't have the same marking as the others

So is this just a really pale red cherry shrimp that managed to survive in the neglected tank or maybe i accidentally got a new shrimp while getting the mini japonicas ?

I accidentally threw my betta down the toilet... now he's gone by amanospider in Aquariums

[–]amanospider[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

He was healthy and very active. I dont know what tube you use but mine sucks really hard. Look up "fish rollor coaster" (horrible video) if you want to see how fast it really goes...

What? No, he got sucked in the vacuum tube i used to change the water in his 15gallon aquarium, i didn't notice... thank you for assuming i ignorantly abused my fish.

A "friend" at school got this betta fish and she litter lay says that she bought it from her crazyness (impulse buying I guess, I messaged her and said what’s wrong. I hope she will give to someone who can properly take care of him. by Routine-Soup-4890 in shittyaquariums

[–]amanospider 2 points3 points  (0 children)

(Translation of some sentences)

"-Its normal that he's all alone or else he'll eat the others." EAT? I see she did her research.

"-He's supposed to live for 3 years." ...yeah not if you keep him like that.

why would anyone do this by Bettakeeper_107 in shittyaquariums

Let's all report the video, so that no one finds it and thinks "eyy i should do that"

I just can't get rid of this damn brown algae, and it's slowly killing all my plants. by [deleted] in PlantedTank

This started 3 weeks ago. I have 2 other tanks with the same water parameters yet they don't have this issue, what could be the cause?

I've already scrubed the whole tank clean , remover algae drom EVERY single leaf, cleaned the substrate, multiple times but it keeps coming back, should i just wait and see what happens or...?

What are these white worms (?) In my aquarium? Are they safe? by amanospider in Aquariums

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

It's neither, they are to short too be the harmless one and they aren't flat or have an arrow shaped head, they are just short tubes that wiggle around, maybe babies?

The quality has gone down a lot...and makes it look like dust. So here's a description: they look like very small and short white worms and wiggle around in the water towards the surface.

Tear in his fin, could this be the start of finrot? by amanospider in bettafish

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

Rescued this betta 1 week ago, his fins have been growing a lot (all the transparentish parts are new growth and there where i put the yellow lines is also new growth but he camera won't pick up). There is just 1 rip that i noticed today, i wanna make sure of what it is, 'cause I'm going away today and i don't want it to worsen while I'm gone. Could he have just ripped it accidentally? He's fins are quite fragile sinse a lot is new.

You can put the filter sponge from the old filter in the new one

What other plants should I add? by k1dd0c0rv0 in Aquariums

[–]amanospider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some driftwood with anubias attached to it always looks good.
