  1. Rhabdocoela Flatworms was my second guess as well! I'm really hoping it's that and NOT Planaria. Thank you for your input!
  2. Spotted these worms in my shrimp / pygmy cory/ rasbora tank today. Are they planaria or something else? I can't really identify the arrow-shaped head but this is as close as I could get with my phone.
  3. That's alright, I probably should've clarified in the first post, but thank you so much for keeping the thread up!
  4. Thanks a lot for your reply! I'm mostly looking to ID the one in the middle as I have absolutely no clue what kind of snail that is lol!
  5. Hello, I recently noticed this snail in my betta tank, I'm guessing it's a hitchhiker but what kind of snail is this? I'm looking to ID the big one in the middle specifically. I have ramshorns, bladdernsails and assassin snails in this tank. Thanks in advance!
  6. Right, so weird because we did the same drip acclimation as we do every time.. Hope the others pull through.
  7. Well we had one or two more die on us today / yesterday.. but all from the same "batch" which we added on the 6th.. others are completely fine.
  8. We hard boiled some eggs, took the shells, cleaned them completely, let them dry and then ground them up I think.
  9. I have some dried spinach but they don't seem to be interested in it at all.. I'll look into the junkie bites, thank you.
  10. Hi, thanks for your response! I recently started adding ground up eggshells to the tank. Is that ok? Oh yeah biofilm plenty, they can eat right away. Might be hard to fast since there's a lot or natural food for them in there but I'll give it a go!
  11. Oh yeah, they get bacter AE, zucchini, shrimp king complete and snowpops and they also eat from the pleco and cory wafers. Frozen blood worms as well. Honestly I'm thinking it's just this specific group, the ones we added before these ones are doing fine.. I'm not sure what went wrong with them though.. Measured nitrites and ammonia and both was at 0 ppm today, nitrate was 2 ppm. All of our shrimp don't really come when we put food in though, but I'm assuming that's because they have plenty all around already? Anyways, I'm completely lost on what's going on.
  12. No problem at all! I'll try my best to keep nitrites and ammonia at 0, I measured again today after another shrimp death from the same batch and nitrite is at 0 now. Also got some lava rock as well!
  13. There's no rocks in there, there's some driftwood and cholla wood though.
  14. Thanks! We have 2 sponge filters which provide plenty of aeration, no issues there or with the filters themselves. Mulm and such is at an okay level, nothing special. A while ago some people on this forum told me I had to change the water once nitrite or ammonia reached 0,2 ppm or nitrate 40 ppm. Shrimp are also behaving normally, some huddle together in a corner and others are out foraging. No issues with the rasboras or corys either.
  15. Hmm perhaps that could be it. I think I added them with the corys on the 6th of July, I thought they would be settled by now but I guess I thought wrong.
  16. Hi thanks for your response! The tank is 18g, the 2 shrimp that passed are from the same breeder as some other shrimp which are completely fine, the corys are also from the same breeder. Unfortunately our local pet stores are very bad, I get my shrimp (and cory) online.
  17. Hello, I have a stable shrimp tank which houses 10 pygmy cory, 10 kubotai rasbora, 1 small super red pleco, 1 adult clown pleco and about 20-30 shrimp. It's been running for 3-4 months. There's also live plants, moss, catappa bark and leaves, etc etc etc Today, I've had two of my newest added shrimp die on me. I don't know why. They were added at the start of July and have been fine until now. I've had one or two shrimp die before but those were due to failed molts. I would also like to add that even though there should be about 20-30 shrimp in there I usually only see 20 max. I'm aware they're good at hiding and I haven't found any dead ones other than the ones mentioned earlier. My parameters: pH: 7,5-7,8 kH: 8 gH: 10 NO2: <0,01 ppm NO3: 1 ppm NH4: 0,1 ppm Thank you in advance!
  18. Oh, thank you so much! I did catch a shrimp snacking on the white fluff today, thank you for assuring me. And congratulations on the baby shrimps! Hopefully I will have some babies soon as well!
  19. Yeah I'm just using it until the refills are used up.. the things they sell newbies..
  20. Hmm they do have a lot of food present in the tank already so they might just not be interested in it that much.. thanks! It's an oxydator, I bought it when I first started my aquarium but apparently it doesn't really do much so it's just kinda there.
  21. I was thinking this as well at first, but none of our inhabitants seem interested in eating it, and it's only on one tiny spot on the wood... So I'm not 100% sure about it being biofilm anymore
  22. Hello everyone, I've had this in the tank for quite a while now, I picked it off once and it reappeared in a different spot a bit later. It's only present on this specific piece of drift wood and currently only in this spot. Any idea what this is, if it's harmful and how to get rid of it if so? Thanks in advance!
  23. That's alright, thank you for replying! Thank you for your reply! Thank you!
  24. I'm currently doing ~20% 2/wk, can I keep it like that or should I do more?
