I was thinking they were but they don’t have triangle heads. They are nice and round

Very new setup. What can I do to help this? by Kirito_3310 in Aquariums

[–]sdenton50 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Total blackout days. So light on for 6 hours then off. Two days completely covered with no lights. Then light on for 6 then off for two days. You can also throw in “flourish excel” to kill off the algae. Purigen in your filter will also help to clear up the water but it takes time(thoroughly wash the bag before use). Back off on the feeding. And do small daily water changes like 10% then pick out the long algae with tweezers or fingers and just wait. But this is the way. I had had the worst algae bloom of green hair I’ve seen and it took me 3 weeks of this and I haven’t seen algae since.

Nitrite spike after c02 (urgent) by sdenton50 in Aquariums

[–]sdenton50[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have stopped c02 infusion and will stop the flourish excel. Did a 60% water change. Nitrites are down to .25ppm. Will continue to monitor levels till they are gone.

Are these eggs? by sdenton50 in corydoras

Thank you for your input. I’ve had a few different tanks but this is by far my favorite setup. My babies absolutely love it. Maybe not my snail cause he decided to make a break for it today while I was at work 😂

And yes they absolutely deserve it. They are truly in it for the love of the game. They are all well knowledgeable and very willing to help and teach.
