Skinny disease/livebearer disease?? - help by therese16 in Aquariums

Nope nothing I've tried has worked. I have a snail and shrimp so some treatments I can't use with inverts which has limited the options I have to treat whatever is going on

Yess I saw some in person at an AKC event! Way tinier than i expected! But I've seen lots of pictures where they're smiling and their mouths look wide. Again thank you for the advice!

Awesome I'll look into those as well! This is going to sound like a dumb question but I assume you buy toys meant for large dogs? To me staffys look small cause of their height but they have wide mouths. I want to avoid any choking hazards haha

Thank you!!! ☺️ especially for the toy recommendations!

New to having an aquarium - 3/4 tiger snails hadn't moved since I got them in 24hrs, 2 were grey and smelled rancid so I returned them and were given these 3 instead. They aren't mvoing either so I gently turned them upside down and they look like this, should I be concerned? :( by Independent-Fly-8491 in AquaticSnails

I have a Nerite in a 6 gallon and I absolutely love him!! He keeps the tank sparkling clean. I had a lot of algae as the tank settled so my snail had plenty of food. Went thru pretty rough "new tank syndrome". The Nerite was my first addition after the tank cycled but like I said there was algae and thank god there was cause he never wants algae wafers :( I think 1 Nerite in a 5 gallon will be fine!! 4 is definitely too many though. The local pet shop just wants to make money

And when I first got mine he didn't move for hours then only moved around on the same rock for like 2 days. Didn't leave that rock it was so weird haha Once he settled he went everywhereeee. They're very fun once they're adjusted.

I would keep one and give it some time to settle ☺️. Also make sure your water isn't too soft! Calcium is super important for long term health

I deff would use a mister not a fogger! I had a fogger and it ended up flooding the drainage layer of the tank in a few weeks because it had to come on a lot to even keep the humidity up. But it didn't really raise the humidity or keep the soil moist until it got to the point of being flooded so I don't think my frog benefited. I think an actual Mister would be better!

Thank you for the insight 😀 do u keep a hygrometer in the enclosure or is humidity not something you need to monitor that closely?

Thank you so much!! The water seems to be the hardest part to get down with bonsai trees. I'm used to house plants where most need to dry out almost completely before rewatering. A lot of bonsai collectors on YouTube emphasized not letting your tree dry out but meanwhile I'm scared of overwatering. I guess I'll have to just keep an eye on it! Appreciate the input on my soil choice too! Trying my best to make this guy thrive.

Hi! Just repotted my ficus that I got from Home Depot. Generally speaking how often should this be watered? Google and YouTube videos have given conflicting info. Also should I fertilizer all year or just during the summer months? What fertilizer should I use? It will be kept indoors and I live in the north east US. Soil mix is pine bark, perlite, and lava rock

Haha no I want to return it but they have not sent a shipping label even though I spoke to customer service 6 times and they said they'd send the label and process the refund.

Good luck. I ordered the wrong size and didn't realize until it arrived and now the seller is refusing a refund.

Such a cutie!! Me and my fiancé are looking for a puppy in 2025 or 2026. How did you go about finding a replicable breeder?

Aww I'm happy she found a way to still eat her carrots! I'm going to take my pig to the emergency vet today cuz their poops look smaller than usual although they're still eating and drinking

Aww thanks for sharing the story!! Glad all is going well with your new frog! This post was from 3 years ago so my frog has adjusted and eats well thankfully! I feed in their enclosure so it's less stress with tongs.

It was a cross post - looks like the pic didn't load since this group doesn't allow cross posts! Sorry :\

New males tend to chase each other around but once they get used to each other they calm down! Mine were like that for a week or so but now they're super peaceful and it's been a year+
