I've done it folks - I've secured mystery snail babies from my own brood, via the hobbyist I adopted about 20 snails out to last year. She just hatched a clutch and they are 2 weeks old. I will take 4 when they are large enough to transport. 2 for me, and 2 for my friend. Keeping the bioload in check, enjoying snails, and each snail will have a buddy. It would be magical to hatch my own again, but I am not home enough to do it right now. I will though, eventually.- 1,895 replies

Bravo! It was excellent! Thank you @Fish Folk Gar were briefly featured. I scuba dive with gar at the state park sometimes. Did you guys know that if you click the eyeball in the text editor, a textbox pops up where you can type a spoiler? Let me try it. I've been avoiding reading most of this thread because I worry people were describing the shows and movies, and I haven't had free much time to watch.- 89 replies

This is how the tank looks. Not so cloudy anymore, which means the dead plant matter was the cause. And overfeeding, no doubt. #notorious #guiltyascharged (I think it’s easy to overfeed snails. It’s simpler to throttle quantity back when feeding fish.) Nevertheless, I did a water change because it is not completely clear when viewing the tank in person. Kratos the burrower is on the move. Look at how dirty he is, lol. He is the laziest snail on the planet. The anubias looks awful so I am RRing it in a tall vase. This driftwood has been looking awful too and doesn’t want to come clean with a toothbrush or baster. I simply flipped it over. I don’t care about the moss. The fish were looking frantically for cover in the middle since I removed the Java fern and anubias, so I gave them the most natural looking fake plant I have. One leaf has a hole in it where the cat bit it. That makes it all the more real-seeming, no? The fish immediately went into the fake plant. They feel secure now. By dinner time the anubias should be done with RR.- 1,895 replies

Folks, today I rehomed about half my blue dream colony, which involved only a 20 minute drive to a friend’s house. She had readied a tank about a month and a half ago to prepare for her new colony. They were drip acclimated for 2 hours while we watched a movie. They are exploring their new world. They have floating plants now! I gave her some water lettuce from my Walstad Jar, and her Bloody Mary shrimp immediately took to it. (Different tank than the blue dreams) Her dwarf gourami loved nibbling at it in the other tank as well. Some random photos I took. You know how tube socks have the 2 stripes? So does this ramshorn, so I named him Socks. And here is one of @Guppysnail’s magenta babies! She gave me some fern pups but said they are not Java Fern. We will see what they do. And she brought back this snail on the right for me, from a Maine local artist. Lastly, earlier today I was contending with a bacterial bloom in the 29. No one had died and there was no ammonia. Nitrates were a bit high. I did a water change and got some extra air going because I saw some fish going to the surface for air. Also the water I removed smelled like a sewer, and 2 Java ferns had melted in the tank and made a mess. I tried to remove what I could, but I will do another water change tomorrow to get more plant matter out. As well as withhold feeding. Any tips for dealing with bacterial blooms, let me know?- 1,895 replies

Unauthorized snail breeding LoL
Chick-In-Of-TheSea replied to Confetto's topic in General Discussion
That’s great! This is so exciting! Just drop your water line a bit and your lid should close. That way Zamboni can’t climb out @Confetto Here is an option for your growout tank setup: -
Unauthorized snail breeding LoL
Chick-In-Of-TheSea replied to Confetto's topic in General Discussion
@Confetto add a dry paper towel on top of the moist one. Then add a lid to the Tupperware, with holes in it (use pushpin). Layers: moist, dry, eggs, lid with holes @Stef is right. A 3 gallon will not be able to handle to bioload. I have done it in a 10gal. Once they get to a certain size though, ammonia can become the norm until you move some out. Right before rehoming, I was doing water changes twice a day and using Prime to detox the ammonia. It’s doable. Just test your water every day once they hatch. Also, be prepared to check your tank for new eggs daily. Once she starts laying eggs, she’s probably going to do it every few days. Be prepared to dispose of some eggs by putting them in the freezer, then crushing them. It feels bad to do, but it is the humane way. It is very feasible that your eggs are fertile since female hold onto male sperm for months. She likely mated in the pet store before you got her. Then again, they could be infertile too. You’ll have to wait and see! How long have you had Zamboni? @Guppysnail @Cinnebuns -
What do you see when you look at the tank....
Chick-In-Of-TheSea replied to nabokovfan87's topic in General Discussion
Mid-level swimmers needed, something silver or colorful so as not to disappear into the black background. Something that schools.. it would be great to see the whole pack of ‘em moving across the tank. Aponogeton -

I have been popping into a hummingbird feeder livestream for like 10 minutes a day. I’ve been learning little facts about hummIngbirds there. I’ve got 2 birds so far, but the male is territorial and doesn’t want to share the feeder with the female (so I have to add another feeder). Interesting thing is, the folks on the hummingbird stream began to visit my channel, and are super curious about all the aquarium creatures, asking questions about random videos there like, what does it mean “saved eggs from a shrimp molt”, etc. And I have the pleasant opportunity to teach them. ❤️ Also they enjoy the videos of the trumpet snails and mystery snails and are commenting. Is it possible we could have future NERMs here?? 🤗 What if the bird NERMs convert to fish NERMs? LOL- 1,525 replies
