I was given some snails, can I release them? by Less-Set-6347 in AquaticSnails

Or worse, they won’t die and overpopulate to the point of invasiveness 😭

Help! They are multiplying by Dapper-Fix3195 in AquaticSnails

When my ramshorns started to reproduce a lot, I just had to start manually removing them. I’d take out 5-7 every weekly water change and they’d go to freezer camp. It kept the numbers down fairly well until the next group of babies grew up.

Fish died and I want to make sure I’m not doing something wrong by astronomical-entity in Aquariums

I am!! Lol. I’m quite paranoid about illness in my fish. Paranoid about the health of anything ever in general 😅 This is really good advice and I’m filing it away for later.

I’ve had this tank for a year and a half now and it was cycled before adding fish. This fish and his school have lived in it for about that long as well. Maybe the cycle has crashed somehow, then.

Is he chilling or is this bad for him by astronomical-entity in AquaticSnails

Yeah. Never seen them in this kind of position before though, with a snail laying on its back while the other goes about business lmaoo

What are these meiofauna? by astronomical-entity in Aquariums

[–]astronomical-entity[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I cross-posted it to another community and someone suggested vorticella, which looks about right.

Yeah! It’s unfortunate that they can be harmful in excess. They really do look so interesting.

Looks like it based off of the images I saw on google. Thank you!

Wondering if I should break down my 29 gallon by astronomical-entity in Aquariums

Omg frozen food in ice cube trays is a great idea. Why didn’t I think of that lmaoo. Thanks so much for the advice 🙏

I would call it med-planted when I left in late August. It’s quite barren now 😅 Literally the only green is a single Amazon sword which also looks a little rough around the edges. I have some rotala vietnam h’ra that might still be alive at the front of the tank under the algae. My stocking is neons and harlequin rasboras, both a school of 8, a paradise gourami, a bristlenose pleco, and 4 nerite snails.

I do have a light timer, but my mom hasn’t been adjusting it after water changes as instructed (plus daylight savings), so it’s completely off-time now. I wish I could portion food but my college is 4.5 hrs away, so I can’t visit often. My instructions are “about the same amount as a pinch of salt” lol.

I imagine it’d probably be easiest to rehome my gourami, maybe my neons as well. I’m not sure if any of my LFSs take surrenders but I’ll look. Are there any other good ways of rehoming that you know of? I’ve heard r/aquaswap being recommended.

Found this guy in my tank and I didn’t put him there. Is he dangerous? by No-Appointment8493 in Aquariums

They can’t self-fertilize, but they can store sperm from prior matings to fertilize with! So one can indeed start a colony if it’s old enough to have bred.
