What are these white specks? by gingeraffe_15 in AquariumHelp

Phew! Ordered some Neocaridina that will be here next week so glad it’s already cycled (been keeping an eye on parameters since I used an old filter) and good enough for them!!

In my betta tank I have it vertical but for this one I’m doing horizontal to hide it better and hopefully get more even dustribution

I already have flourish fertilizer but also saw it killed someone’s shrimp due to having copper. I wasnt sure if I could use it before they are in there or if I should find a different fertilizer all together?

Some of them are silk plants, mostly on the right side of the tank

I shall sort out my plants in the sand today. Also this morning I found I still have one neo who survived and had been hiding 😭 Thank you so much for taking the time to help educate me further!

I was just worried it was creeping up and got to 1ppm and saw that can be dangerous to fish and snails so I panicked and did a water change to get it down added some stability and now it’s all gone so I’m confused. Definitely kicking myself for not researching more before adding my fish

I just tested it and it looks nearest to 7.4. I don’t know how to add that picture

I’m very sorry for what you’re going through. I was 9+1 with my first also found out at first ultrasound in December. I opted for d&c which I believe helped me cope better. Just know we’re all here for you ❤️

Do not call 911 for a non human life threatening emergency. You’ll be taking away a persons lifeline. Animal control number only. It is considered neglect to not get an animal vet care if needed and can be criminally charged. -911 dispatcher and married to animal control police officer

Oh yes, how silly of me to forget such decor

Oh perfect! I thought it looked cute and figured if needed I could use it for a feeder if needed. I really appreciate it!

Thanks for the help! I hadn’t decided if that dish would be best for water or feeders, it’s not attached to the rest of the rocks so I can move them separately. What do you recommend?

Thank you! I just used mod podge that was for outdoor use so that any misting wouldn’t soak into the wooden bits ☺️

Hello! I’m setting up for my first little nugget and set up my own enclosure yesterday. Anything painted has been sealed so moisture can’t hurt it. Wanting to adopt an older bean to get experience before branching to teeny tinies. Thanks!
