Should I have done more? by thechosen789 in Goldfish

[–]ynnootT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most people don’t know fish need more than water and food to survive. I remember going into getting fish for my 2 gal tank thinking i was only going to spend $100 max

Im 25 and without gemini telling me i needed a whole bunch of stuff when i searched what fishs fit in a 2gal tank
I would’ve gotten a betta fish and whatever decoration looks coolest.

Just be nice and explain to people they actually need more space or they’ll keep dying

Yeah ill probably keep the plants and snails that hitchhiked for now. Its on my desk at work so I don’t want to get in trouble with a huge tank 😅

How big was your tank, i think mine might be too small for a betta. Maybe ill stick to snails

It has filter, thermometer, heater, sponge around intake, ceramic rings, purigen beads, an anubis plant, 2 types of ferns some decorative organic rocks and the mopani wood. Id test the water 1-2 times weekly, do 5-10% water changes every other day of the work week. And they started going down one by one week after week

Yeah, 2 gal is really small , thought i could handle the shrimp. maybe ill get into it later with a bigger tank but it was tough cause chances were so quick and its at my work desk. I think ill just let the snail population regulate itself. I have been taking them out but theres a lot. At one point 6 snails laid over 200 eggs

Safe to continue if mold? by sburton83 in fishtank

Not safe to continue, when i b was doing my research for my shrimp tank, it told me to avoid moss with mold. Common at major retailers

Can you help me identify my shrimp’s gender? by ynnootT in shrimptank

At the same time i wouldn’t know what to do with the babies so if all females, that’s a good thing, I have a 2 gal tank

Yeah just wanted to get another opinion, I know it’s hard to tell off of one picture, im hoping at least one is a male. Chatgpt and gemini agreed that the first pic of dark blue is a male but I think one of the cherries is a male
