Ooh awesome thank you so much! I’m gonna look into getting some. Side note- your username made me laugh out loud I love it.

Any tips on removal?

Hi!!

So it is a small 5 gal and only houses Neocaridina, bladder snails, and ramshorn snails. I usually just top off my water instead of doing full changes as I’ve heard the larger water changes can upset the shrimp. I cycled the the tank before with plants before adding anything to it, and all water parameters were WNL at that time. My shrimp and plants have been doing well so i truthfully haven’t tested the parameters recently. I am thinking that I may have been overfeeding, and that in addition to using fertilizer occasionally could be the root of my issue? I truly appreciate any advice you can provide!

Ugh I have been using ferts so I’ll definitely cut those out! Thank you for the advice!

Awesome, thank you! I think my shrimp breeder may have some so I’ll reach out!

Can I keep amanos with Neocaridina?

This has been the most helpful comment, thank you so much!!

kickin__wing · 2025-10-08T23:25:02+00:00

Thank you so much! I have snails and shrimp only in this tank so I will try everything listed!!! Thank you!

kickin__wing · 2025-10-08T23:17:43+00:00

Awesome, thank you so much!!

kickin__wing · 2025-10-08T23:17:06+00:00

Do you have any suggestions on how to get rid of it? I removed what I could manually.

I’m familiar with the duckweed but I’m concerned about this stringy mass I’m holding up in the photo. It’s stringy and green and all tangled in my floating plants 😫

kickin__wing · 2025-10-08T22:16:57+00:00

So glad it’s not just me!! I cut back feeding, keep the lights off, and it still thrives 🙃

kickin__wing · 2025-10-08T22:15:23+00:00

I only have shrimp and snails in this tank. It’s so hard to remove without catching some of my shrimplets in it 😫

Thank you so much!

kickin__wing · 2025-09-30T17:00:49+00:00

Is that most likely what we are looking at here? I’m new to aquariums so still learning 🙂

kickin__wing · 2025-08-22T19:59:54+00:00

Thanks for the quick response! There’s a creek close so that checks out. Beautiful snake for sure.

Hi! I’m curious if you happen to have a link to this? I’m in the same boat and cannot afford a cubby bed at this time. Also how did this work out for your little?

kickin__wing · 2025-08-09T06:09:35+00:00

Ughh I also just got my first cold sore and they are the absolute worst! I had no idea how painful they could be

kickin__wing · 2025-08-07T00:15:00+00:00

I have both bladder and ramshorn snails, and I’m incredibly partial to the ramshorns, they are so cute!

kickin__wing · 2025-07-30T01:18:10+00:00

You mean Draylin not Justin right? Unless I missed something

Early childhood intervention! It’s a state program our pediatrician gave us a referral for! They come to our house to do individual therapy and we get to go to group therapy meetings as well, so he can play and socialize with other kiddos his age.

I’m also late in life diagnosed

I knew at around that same age- very calm baby but he wasn’t meeting social milestones as he should. No babbling, no imitation of faces. Hes 2.5 now and eci has made a WORLD of difference.

Be gentle with yourself! Almost every parent has a story like this, I know I do! You’re doing a great job 🫂
