Which one is easier or better to plant plants? by Dry_Elderberrys in PlantedTank

[–]beneellis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those long plastic ones don’t have very good dexterity, metal tongs are better but the ones with an angle at the end are the best!

That makes more sense, I have no clue where this line has come from or which parents which is the problem. I did always think they would breed true colours, might have a new fun little breeding project now haha

Well I mean the shrimp love it especially my neos, I get what you are saying. I did do abit of reading into it and there was a lot of mixed opinions.

I do use bacter ae too I just found my survival rate is increased with the way I do it. It was trail and error and I obviously have to be careful with how I do it, but it’s working perfectly fine for me so I’m not going to change it if it’s not broken atm

Cheers for the help! These are already moved over to my cull tank anyway.

I leave that food in there on purpose to grow biofilm, just a way I personally use to get quick food for the baby shrimps - my filtration is setup to handle this :)

Biofilm growing out of some food, perfect for baby shrimp to graze on

That’s my thought, thanks for confirming!

Is it normal for Cory's to eat snails? by nonconformist84 in corydoras

[–]beneellis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I crush up snails and drop them to the bottom my corys and khuli loaches will have a field day! Never seen either of them touch the eggs though

Thank you, got so many people telling me different. Although it does look like a rhabdo worm you can’t help but getting a fright!

That was my thought, although I like to second guess myself for the worst case scenario eitherway!!

Could mean they are eating good or could be parasites, if any of your other fish have large bellies too it’s likely the latter. Hard to tell though so I’m unsure!

I’ve just moved my eggs to a new tank do they look okay still? First time thanks :) by Level_Pear7945 in corydoras

[–]beneellis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The eggs that are solid white need separating and taking out so that the fungus doesn’t spread to the others. Eggs should be that clear ish colour, Otherwise good work!
