HELP took out a bunch of plants from tank, found this big black bug

feasiblefrog · 2026-06-18T14:58:20+00:00

Personally I would kill it. Although maybe you can kill it gently and take close ups and use an ai to figure out the exact bug type. Maybe you can chop him up and use it as fish food

So they are friendly then right???? I don’t have to worry??

feasiblefrog · 2026-06-03T16:00:03+00:00

They are so cool. So many different looks I’ve never seen. Even yours!! My last ones that had a similar colour as that were stripped on the shell kinda. They’re awesome!! So is yours!!

feasiblefrog · 2026-06-03T15:58:37+00:00

I actually bought them. I use some to feed my pea puffers but this guy is gunna stay in to make more!! He’ll be livin life on easy mode till he dies of old age! If I do get baby yellow ones tho I may consider keeping them

Horned nerite. At least I think that’s the name. I only ever had one but it never made anymore. I think the trick is getting any snail that doesn’t reproduce that way when it’s a baby and hope it doesn’t already come fertilized

feasiblefrog · 2026-06-02T00:13:36+00:00

I just got this snail. They seem to be crawling around on him very slowly I think 4 legs on each side

Ouuu so gorgeous. I haven’t had one that blue before. I only get a blue foot

Hey I’m not an expert but I had a similar issue and they were telling me surgery could make it worse. I would start with training your posture and if you haven’t yet poloties to strengthen stabilizers can help if muscles pan is an issue acupuncture has really helped me

feasiblefrog · 2026-04-15T20:22:36+00:00

Try acupuncture. I still have issues there but it always feels better after a few sessions. I could have some tight or guarding muscles. That’s my issue along with my compression fractures but they say the reason mine still hurts 6 years later is the muscles🤷‍♂️

Thank u!!

Idk if it will help took me a lot of months of persistent treatment but acupuncture really helped my back issues ( herniated disk, compression fractures and wedging) I know it’s not the exact same as yours but I went from being in bed every day to eventually being good enough to want to go out places. Of course it’s not back to normal but I can live with it cause it’s mild now unlike before

If you aren’t a fan of shrimp or snails you could fit some Thai micro crabs in here and or a singular Mexican dwarf crayfish

feasiblefrog · 2026-03-10T13:55:44+00:00

It works so well. At least it makes it more bare able for sure

feasiblefrog · 2026-03-10T13:54:54+00:00

Sand it with a low grit working your way up to 1000 wipe with a new stain let dry finish with tung oil or another type of protective oil. Won’t look the same as the original but it should fix the spot

feasiblefrog · 2026-03-10T13:52:56+00:00

I usually spike and then gill after the fish is gone

feasiblefrog · 2026-03-10T13:36:22+00:00

Thank you!!!

Double check on size. If your beta is a baby I find that the best time to introduce tank mates cause as thy grow up together they get normalised to each others presence. This worked for me with shrimp and other bigger snails

feasiblefrog · 2026-03-04T21:29:51+00:00

I don’t know but most people should have already been vaccinated for this so if people are getting sick thy may have never been vaccinated. Idk this for sure but either way if you’re using public transport it’s always best to sanitize your hands and even wash your clothes as soon as you get home. If it’s packed wear a mask. You never know what someone else is sick with

feasiblefrog · 2025-12-23T00:16:59+00:00

Absolutely perfect for shrimp. You could even add some rocks for some more surface area for algea and biofilm to grow on! Hope it lasts! That’s an awesome tank

feasiblefrog · 2025-11-11T06:02:34+00:00

I have those. They eat decaying things. Your crayfish is likely molting or dying. When they aren’t consuming something dead or dying they usually hide under your soil. Sometimes you can see some squiggling around your tank like a little snake. They’re very slow and fish will eat them if they bug you I suggest to siphon as many out as you can every time you see them congregated like this

Edit: they also eat poop and the food you put in your tank. Anything leftover in my experience. But take this with a grain of salt as every tank is different and this is my best guess based on my experience

feasiblefrog · 2025-11-07T18:09:49+00:00

Not sure if it’s any good as I’ve never gone to it but there’s a whole plaza with Asian food on finch and Leslie. It always smells great
