Excellent choice, @TeeJay!

Here’s a video honoring the little black neon. She had a good life. I took this video about a week ago.

I've seen people in videos put an airline tube in a bottle with water, sugar, & yeast. They cap the bottle (the cap has a hole in it). The airline tubing goes into the cap and the other end goes into the aquarium. So just the CO2 goes in but none of the fluids. Haven't tried it myself.
SimplyBetta made the video I saw.

Some test kits provide false positives of ammonia with some dechlorinators like Prime.
I think I got this goin on. 10 year old tank, 0 ammonia reading always. Can't remember last time I had ammonia. Within the last week switched from AquaSafe Plus to Prime. I now have .2 ammonia reading every day. So, I've been changing 25-30% water every day (and consequently, using Prime with the new water going back into the tank). Have not seen the .2 reading go down. Another variable is I added 5 fish from quarantine, but I honestly don't think that is the issue because my tank is quite a bit understocked. I have a dirty old HOB filter, a 2-week old sponge filter, plus sand is helping with filtration as well.

My nerite burrows against the glass under the substrate
I thought he was suffering/dying? I was freaking out. But then afterwards it was business as usual. 😯

I was worried about the fish bothering it. 10 minutes and the tiny terrorists (shrimp🥰) have covered it.
You thought you were creating a decoration when you were actually creating an all-you-can eat buffet.

sinking pellets for carnivores are good

those are just gigantic bladder snails 😄 apparently I have a few well fed ones. 🙂
I like their color. Kind of a chalky-looking finish on their shells.

Daily check of clutch 2 - not ready but still progressing. 🙂
The cucumber was a hit with the minis. Also they love love love 💗 java moss 🌿. Swapped cucumber with green bean this morning. Using up what's on hand. Extra green beans & boiled cukes go into the freezer in little to-go condiment containers. I don't have too many of those so I might utilize ice cube trays next. Because if you think about it, you have to open a whole can of green beans to give them half of a green bean per day.
Two babies were pale and their status was questionable. I observed them for a long time, maybe 30-45 minutes under magnifying glass but did not detect motion. I've heard newborn snails are highly vulnerable and it's important to monitor this for the sake of water quality. I have them in a cup of tank water while I'm off at work. Same temperature as the tank. Will see if they are latched on to the surface of the cup when I get home.
Also my nerite snail (Hampshire) is absolutely creeping me out. It did a lot of weird things this morning, and afterwards just went back to normal cleaning driftwood and other tank stuff.

oday we find the addition of some java moss. Brought it over from one of my other tanks. I think the shrimp will appreciate it more. Thinking of picking up 2 mystery snails for it as well. Let them work there magic and help the tank season as well. Just ordered some bacter ae to help with the seasoning process as well. I plan to dose one a week to get the ball rolling.
Mystery snails really do like java moss.
I also heard FritzZyme is very good for seasoning tanks.

My new Cory cats from my lfs 5 days ago.
I love them, TeeJay! Did you know cory cats are carnivores, and schooling fish? I recently learned that.

It doesn't look like what I'm finding when I search for photos of an anal prolapse. Any ideas?
She's the one at the beginning of the video.
Edit: I think she's slightly bloated as well.
Possibly eggbound?

I thought my Nerite was dead but then I saw movement, at some points turning completely over holding sand. Then, if you think THAT’S weird, it dropped the sand, righted itself and started cruising around the tank again as usual. (???)
Is it burrowing? Or sick? It left a hole behind in that spot.
Now it’s just casually munching on driftwood and here’s the hole it left.
I am thoroughly freaked out.

This is awesome! Congrats! I’m raising some babies now too! Gold ones.

I took out the sponge filters when I put the ugf in. Now they can’t play in the bubble stream so they play in the canister outflow.
That is hysterical. And the antennae on that guy - very impressive!

After your suggestion on another post that is exactly what I used. 😁. Definitely operator error and my lack of ninja egg collecting skips 🤣
Did it work?
always learning in this hobby, for sure!

@Guppysnailthe water test kit color cards work well for removing snail eggs because they are thin and flexible. You might give one of those a shot.

@xXInkedPhoenixX @Odd Duck Guys my fish died. The belly is completely blown out? Pics if you guys are ok with it but I realize it might bother some people to see a dead fish.
-
2 snails appeared to possibly be pinned between the nylon and the box. They were successfully freed.
Also I’m starting to see detail and no longer need the magnifying glass, for the most part. Here is a video of a lovely friendship that has blossomed.
