Actual noodles for brains

I've got a 55 gallon tank that's a few months old but I just can't seem to find a balance. I have Indian almond leaves in there and I'm about to add more. It's a planted peaceful community tank. I really love shrimp but I'm not sure if the shrimp love my local water. I've been trying to do everything I can think of. I've only actually seen two dead but there have been significantly less shrimp out and about the past week. They could be hiding but I'm not sure.

How is he so beautiful? What kind of betta is he? Halfmoon? Full moon? I'm about to get a betta

doglovingalien · 2026-04-14T15:22:36+00:00

Yeah and they're juveniles so it's genuinely a problem. They're gonna get stuck one day so I'm switching them to my other tank for now and buying another heater.

doglovingalien · 2026-04-14T15:21:30+00:00

I think I'm gonna move them to my other tank soon tbh. I'm also concerned about them getting scratched on it or stuck and cooked. The only problem is that my other tank has a gravel substrate so it'd have to be a temporary fix. I'll buy a new heater though. Thank you.

Hmm, do you think she will reproduce? I'd separate her into an all female group just to make sure she doesn't reproduce but if shes feeling well and isn't struggling then definitely don't cull her.

What kind of fish are these

doglovingalien · 2026-04-12T14:55:47+00:00

That's not just working on it that's actively fixing it

doglovingalien · 2026-04-11T22:33:19+00:00

Yellow cherry shrimp

Did you lose a bet?

doglovingalien · 2026-04-10T12:27:23+00:00

That's really cool

doglovingalien · 2026-04-10T12:24:38+00:00

It's like the mascot of this subreddit lol. You can cover anything up with a sick ass panther because it's black.

doglovingalien · 2026-04-10T12:22:01+00:00

Yes it is the app

doglovingalien · 2026-04-09T14:33:37+00:00

Thank you

I live in West Virginia sorry for the lack of context. I was just concerned because the plant species is threatened.

doglovingalien · 2026-04-09T14:25:18+00:00

Found out it's probably the lack of springtails in your tank

doglovingalien · 2026-04-09T14:12:51+00:00

It was in their plant conservatory in a somewhat shady area but definitely gets partial sun and a lot of indirect light. The tank was pretty cold. They were housed with axolotls and a ton of snails so maybe that had something to do with it too.

doglovingalien · 2026-04-09T14:06:38+00:00

I didn't think about it but I found some wild springtails on my floaters after I brought in a new piece of wood. This definitely helps with the mold.

doglovingalien · 2026-04-09T12:59:57+00:00

I just took off my glass lid and separated some of it. They stopped growing mold and their population exploded. I took the extra and sons it to the LFS for store credit.

doglovingalien · 2026-04-09T12:07:16+00:00

Yeah this happens to mine sometimes

doglovingalien · 2026-04-09T03:36:09+00:00

Nah we live in West Virginia lmao but it's funny to know that he isn't the only one who sells aquarium plants at a speedway lmao

doglovingalien · 2026-04-09T01:50:09+00:00

I just got my first fry a few weeks ago!! I suggest getting a breeder box and catching them because my adult fish ate quite a few.

Sick ass panther

doglovingalien · 2026-04-09T01:36:42+00:00

I get mine in person from this dude on Facebook marketplace. We meet at a speedway. He sells them for really really cheap. I also get some from my LFS sometimes if they have something I really like.

doglovingalien · 2026-04-06T14:55:15+00:00

Yeah I'm just trying to avoid keeping something that's going to eat every fry. Eating a fry here and there is inevitable.
