    First off, welcome to the forum! Now, Plant suggestions, micro sword, a great easy carpeting plant that does not need root tabs. Pearl weed, gives coverage in the hight spots of the tank, and does not require root tabs, but for these two u need some easy green ferts. Anubias nana, or anubias nana petite, are great beginer plants, all u have to do is actually throw it in, and give it some nutrients every once and a while and it will do great. These are begginer plants, that you can find on ACs website (aquarium coop). Is your java fern in the substrate? If it is, that is why its rotting, as it is a rhizome plant, you can gel glue is to decor driftwood etc. Hope this helps! Oh btw the shrimp 2g is a great idea IMO. These are plants i have some experince with, there is also dwarf sag, moneywort, the crypt plants, and tons of other options!

    Oh man, i have plenty of hair algae! Its ok, he is doing great, very active! His first night! I named him, Ozzie! After my fav MLB player! I thought about Julio and some other snail names but i went with Ozzie. I went with the algae tablets from AC, and crushed coral, and the mesh bag from petsmart. lol, i forgot the algae tablets at petsmart 😩 Memory isnt the greatest lol. Anyway i got the plants as wel,, ordered them last night. @EricksonAquatics thx!

    He’s going to work! Here are some terrible looking pictures lol, terrible lighting and all, but oh well, it’s night time now.

    4-5 males. 2-3 females, but not all those in the same tank. One or the other. Female tank or male, Agreed.

    I have it on a 8hr cycle, it’s a hygger plant light. It’s on at 9:30 in the morning to 5:30 at night, it has the sunrise/sunrise setting, so it begins sunrise at 9:30, and ramps up from 15% all the way to 100% in 15 minutes, so that equals the light coming on at 9:45 AM. Same thing with sunset but flipped, it turns off fully at 5:45 pm @CoryWithAKatana.

    Yes, cut the food for three whole days, then feed daphnia in small portions for every other day @BlueTurtle25.
  9. Whitecloud09
    Yes, it is 7:27 pm, down here in Eastern standard time. The light is off, tho. Thanks for the quick reminder @Guupy42.

    I think it’s a decent size for this kind of mix, I have never done this before but I think you have just enough room for some of it @quick-nanotime If not the mix, black and white colors would pop, with that sort of background, the darker the more pop shown from your fish. But I think you could try this mix, maybe I should too, as I am setting up a 5g myself soon. Not my first tank, the first I went with gravel, now I am thinking of sand….

    Whoops, edit: 2. They enjoy dark spots. I unfortunately learned that the hard way. My Nerite snail was burying itself, and I thought it was stress. If you don't have any tunnels or anything of the sort, they will bury themselves I substrate. - @Guupy42 i read this from the topic on my WCMMS possible disease, I don’t really have tunnels or anything like that, sorry I missed this. He is fine then I guess. @Tony s, @Guupy42, @Yoshi, and everyone else who follows this topic…. Thanks Yes I just saw this, thanks!!!!! Yeah he’s awesome, just a classic 🐌. Next step: order all this stuff! 🙃 kinda breaking the bank, this 10g is 🤣. It’s ok, I love and care for my fish!

    Get a snail from petsmart: ✅. Got one, idk if it’s a black racer or normal nerite, as it’s a darker brown/black color, but I got one that was on the wall as suggested @Guupy42. I got him, acclimated him, and put him in. He got to work, not on the algae but moving! He is cool, he buried himself in the substrate after moving around checking out his new pad lol. His top of his shell is visible but he buried himself in. Is this a bad thing? I read that they chill when they are buried, or they are trying to protect themselves. Pictures tomorrow. The light is off. So it’s fine in the gravel right??? Thanks guys 🙂

    Nice! I am here for your journey! @FLFishChik! Can’t wait to see more updates! Oh yes, that is a every day event for me, I sit down, drink my coffee, then just sit and watch for hours and then I say “ok I gotta get Omar thing done today, and can’t just sit here forever” 🤣

  15. Whitecloud09
    Looking great! Yes monitor while you can, to see if anything unusual occurs @Colette, have a good one!
  16. Whitecloud09
    Ok, got it, thanks! If it gets worse (it hasn’t yet) I will start the treatment, btw my paremeters are still good, nitrite 0 and ammonia 0. Plus my nitrates are 15. I a, back to weekly changes now. Thanks @Colu!!
  17. Whitecloud09
    I looked it up, it’s snail safe and plant safe, but I can’t tell if ts fuzzy, they are so tiny and fast, but now they are yawning….I have a airstone plus strong filter….. idk what to do, plz help @Colu.
  18. Whitecloud09
    Ok. Is it snail safe? I am getting one today, also I will check in a bit, the light is going through the sunrise phase @Colu I will treat maybe if it’s fuzzy, but here is what it looks like now kinda hard to tell … The third picture is the best, just making sure that my new snail would not be stressed out of getting to my tank , then all the sudden I do constant water changes thanks btw
  19. Whitecloud09
    Yeah no their not, they have acted the same since I got em. Yes I was thinking that too.
  20. Whitecloud09
    Yea, algae is taking over. But anyway, I have one thing I wanted to add. I just realized there is several pictures of my fish that the white stuff on their lip, a long time ago, is it a problem, or this breeding or ? Idk, I finally got my ich-X. @Colu, should I hold of on treatment? Thanks
  21. Whitecloud09
    Cool! Can’t wait to follow this journal @clownbaby
  22. Whitecloud09
    @Colu, or @Odd Duck are our disease people, wondering if they would know…..if this is not a sickness, not sure if they would know, but most likely. but idk anything about snails, I am getting my first today, so very new to the snail thing @jkh772
  23. Whitecloud09
    Sounds sweet! This is a good opportunity for you I bet, and it sounds very awesome! Same, I am so interested in stuff like this……… I would love to know some of your experiences!
  24. Whitecloud09
    Good morning and that is looking like 0, and that is a great sign! @Colette your making progres!
  25. Whitecloud09
