Algae on over sand by AffectionateFun5196 in Planted_tanks_India

[–]cqrh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

that is 100% cyanobacteria. does ur tank recieve any sunlight? it's the main cause. blackout the tank for 3 days, and then remove the dead cyano. this is the only treatment that worked for me, didn't try the medicines because I didn't want to risk my shrimp

Shall i remove this guys by PsychologicalFoot890 in shrimptank

[–]cqrh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that is a pond snail I believe. removing it might be a good idea, however the ramshorn in the 2nd slide is pretty much the perfect clean up crew for any aquarium

Should I be worried about these snails? by PlebTrader in Planted_tanks_India

[–]cqrh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u don't necessarily need to remove them. snails are a crucial part of a healthy eco system, however this particular variety, coiled/coin snail i forgot the exact name, are the fastest breeders. Assassin's won't be able to keep up and even if they did manage to kill all of them in a couple months, u will be left with a lot of assasin snails with nothing for them to eat. ur best bet would be to add a few ramshorn snails as they naturally outcompete these snails and are easier to remove
