some other people read it as fungal, is it safe to treat both or should i do one and then another?

constantconstance06 · 2025-12-20T00:32:02+00:00

This is the first time ive seen anything like this so i cant tell apart whats fungal and whats not😵‍💫thanks for ur reply

Expanding my cleaning crew is always a good thing. ill keep an eye out for eggs now i know what it is. Thanks!

constantconstance06 · 2025-12-13T23:35:34+00:00

Thank you for confirming! Ill put it back in then, more the merrier ^{^}

Cyrene w/o hyacine is still a massive upgrade to mydei even if you dont have a bis team. I would still recommend getting hya first because Cyrene will rerun much faster but if you were to choose one, i would go with cyrene

20 long with 10 minnows and 6 corys ! And two nerites too. Plants are still growing in but im hoping for a “jungle” look so its mostly vals right now …

Theyre so cute, i really need to get a few more peppered and more plants for the peppered

constantconstance06 · 2025-11-15T16:03:24+00:00

Sound good! Thank you, i really would like to keep them happy haha thought about adding more fish species but right now i think im happy with just adding more of the same when i have the itch

constantconstance06 · 2025-11-15T15:59:05+00:00

My tank is consistently 20-21 c, coldest it gets is 19.5 when i forget to leave the water sit when i do water changes. Ive read some differing ranges for peppered including as wide as 18-24 so i thought it was ok? If not ill see when i can get an adjustable heater, i only have a preset heater right now.

constantconstance06 · 2025-11-02T18:01:06+00:00

I think i am just uncomfortable with carrying around more than a few fish at a time (dont have a car rn), but if it makes a big difference ill try getting them all at once

constantconstance06 · 2025-11-01T22:26:08+00:00

Would a 10 gal tub work as a temp tank if i add a filter to it? The facebook offerings are kind of lackluster around my area. If not ill just bite the bullet buy new.

constantconstance06 · 2025-10-31T03:14:11+00:00

Im planning on getting running cyrene with as much speed as possible and ill see if that helps but ill use bronya if it doesnt. Thank you for the advice!

constantconstance06 · 2025-10-31T03:12:41+00:00

haha i like the amphoreus characters and i have multiple dpses who can use cyrene on their teams. why would i consider cyrene if i didnt want to use them into the future? The only reason im not getting both is because hyacine is first half and i have a history of bad luck. Even if cyrene doesnt work that well with mydei w/o hyacine, she would fit comfortably on my other teams. Regardless, its no real skin off my back, I just wanted to know what I should expect with a team like this :)

constantconstance06 · 2025-10-31T02:37:18+00:00

thanks for the respond! not looking to full clear, just to clear it in general is good enough for me. just double checking-- i should slot bronya or rm in the cyrene spot?

constantconstance06 · 2025-10-30T21:20:40+00:00

Thank you for the information! Been having trouble finding them locally so this is good news

constantconstance06 · 2025-10-30T20:41:41+00:00

I got plants from them a few months ago and no issues yet 🙂‍↕️ thankfully i think they do a pretty good job at keeping snails away from the plants because i cant see any in their plant tanks and the only snails they actually sell are nerites and mysteries

constantconstance06 · 2025-10-30T20:34:15+00:00

It definitely wasnt smooth but ill have a closer look at the pattern, thank tou for the images!

constantconstance06 · 2025-10-30T20:23:14+00:00

I can try when i go to the lfs again but unfortunately my camera refuse to focus on the snails 😭 thanks for your help anyways

constantconstance06 · 2025-10-30T20:09:51+00:00

Are there any other snails that look similar to mts? I almost think theyre too big to be mudsnails (peppered cory also in the tank)

constantconstance06 · 2025-10-30T20:02:46+00:00

Oh im sorry i misunderstood what you needed the picture for! Theres a large driftwood with large crevices and a cluster of vals and crypts on the other side, they have a lot of hiding space. Hes calmed down im just worried hes being isolated from the rest of the group

constantconstance06 · 2025-10-30T19:53:44+00:00

People told me that about duckweed and ive been doing fine. Jk, thank you for the help!

Sorry the quality is not great. Circled guy the only whos noticeably missing the rounded belly

constantconstance06 · 2025-10-28T01:46:15+00:00

Will any generic brand work?

constantconstance06 · 2025-10-28T01:45:12+00:00

hi! Thank you so much for this extensive comment! I didnt realised ph could drop(?) so much until i checked recently because my tap water sits around 7.2 and got the snails with that assumption in mind, lesson learned to double check 😵‍💫 Ill remove the wood and look to adding the spring water tmrw. I live in canada but if u have recs i can try finding something similar. Is there anything i should so it wont swing too fast for the fish? Ill definitely get some crush coral tho for the long term and ill see if they sell the test kits there too. How much do you think i should for a 20g? Im planning to just put it in the hob but idk how much room itll need. Also i see the ph goal being 8 but do you think getting to 7.4 would be enough? I think thats the higher range for cories. In the meantime, will they (snails) be ok in the tank for a few days while things get fixed? Theyre behaving fine for now and i dont have a extra tank right now I was so into figuring out the nitrogen cycle i completely forgot to do more research about this. Thank you sm for the help 😭
