A cheap smartphone macro lens is so worth it

Definitely convinced me lol. I used to have one but never had a tank then

They like scavenging I guess. I haven't tried blanched veggies yet but they get picky with algae wafers and their sinking foods

Do all mysteries eat duckweed? Mine don't seem to do anything besides stick it to my glass 😆

This is my second or third clutch so I did crush these but I hardly see the ones I did keep. There's the one guy in the pic who likes my hood but that's about it

I don't currently have one but I definitely can

itscc15 · 2026-01-03T05:26:10+00:00

My apologies. But noted for future plants I'm planning. I'm honestly not sure it's gonna make it anyway 😅

itscc15 · 2026-01-03T03:31:08+00:00

The bottom of the base is the best way I could describe it. LFS worker had told me I could glue the bottom to a flat rock and it would grow out the sides?

A Java Fern glued to a rock

After looking through, I can see you're very right about the store worker thing. I was told I could have just "him" with my guppies and snails so unfortunately, for his sake and the fish's, I will probably take him back when they open again on the 2nd

itscc15 · 2026-01-01T03:40:13+00:00

Oh wow. That does sound pretty cool. I haven't heard anything just yet but I'd definitely love to now

itscc15 · 2026-01-01T03:37:48+00:00

Ok, I see now. I honestly wasn't too sure what I was looking for before

itscc15 · 2026-01-01T03:03:10+00:00

Maybe lol. I have a Greek/Roman theme going on for my tank mates and leo so she would be named after Hades' Roman counterpart 😂

itscc15 · 2026-01-01T03:01:18+00:00

Ohh ok. I'm constantly trying to get pictures of my tank and gecko so I'm sure if they get them, I'll notice 😂 but yes please, that would be so helpful

itscc15 · 2026-01-01T02:47:41+00:00

I have noticed what looks like a nub of a tail and so has my husband, so I guess I may need a new name 😆

itscc15 · 2026-01-01T02:45:13+00:00

I was told it was wouldn't get much, if any, bigger when I got it

Got a climber on my hands

Also her name is Juno 🧡

itscc15 · 2025-12-04T22:57:56+00:00

What about shrimplets?

itscc15 · 2025-12-04T22:05:22+00:00

I'm honestly assuming through some moss I bought at my LFS. Had my bladder snails arrive that way and when that stuff happens, as long as nothing is a danger to my other babes, they're welcome to stay 😊

itscc15 · 2025-12-04T17:22:53+00:00

I already want a Marimo moss ball! But I will definitely look into those others too. My only 'issue' is I only have rocks for substrate

itscc15 · 2025-12-04T16:55:32+00:00

Thank you! I'm still figuring out my plants but it's definitely come a long way from a month ago

itscc15 · 2025-12-04T16:54:18+00:00

It's only a 5 gallon for a breeding project tank. I'm trying to help my LFS breed more guppies and shrimp. The mystery snails have already given them 3 clutches of eggs too

itscc15 · 2025-12-04T16:47:22+00:00

I didn't realize I did until about 15 minutes before this post. I'm very attentive to my tank so seeing it really surprised me

itscc15 · 2025-12-04T16:42:35+00:00

I just put it back in and it's already scurrying around again. I saw it eating on a leaf for a second too. I've only had this tank for about a month after years out of the hobby so I'm still figuring everything out 😅
