UV lights have their place, but I haven't used for at least 11 years. My guess is that most of members of this forum do not use a UV light.
And it not the expense of the UV lights that keeps me from using one, it is that most of the uses of UV, like assisting with clearly cloudy water, can also be achieved inexpensively and easily without UV.
This is the last thing I have not tried, besides some meds, but I can't find them and I can not order online

None of the very inexpensive UV solutions is effective for use in aquariums. Sunlight won't hurt your sick guppy but it is only one part of a good quality environment.
Can I quarantine in sunlight? Will that help at all? Sorry I just can not afford a good uv cause I'm 11

My tank is good all parameters are ok, nitrites 0 and ammonia 0 nitrates 0.1 ph 7.5
-
Ok, do you know if there is a cheap one or can I use the sun?
-
I can't afford an aquarium UV sterilizer so would a normal UV light work because I want to use it for guppy fin rot

Awesome, sounds like you have a local market then! I have not seen the blue ones here, but the red ones are everywhere. One more tip--you should probably separate the colors, or they may cross breed and you will get brown or something.
Thanks, I will do that, my fish store is so cool, it has all fish I know of, bit they treat the bettas worse than petco

Ok thanks,

I would test your kh, but yes--you should still add a little so that they don't exhaust their supply--hopefully you will have MANY snails in your tank and you want them to grow fast. Once you see shell pitting it is too late. It is mostly cosmetic, but it will lower the value of your snails.
I have red ones, they hitch hiked in on a plant at some point. They will probably sell better, but your local market will determine the price. I see a person on my local craigslist offering them by the cupful, as puffer food, so do check around to see if they are already a flooded market.
My LFS has them 4$ each, I am not selling them for that much

As I'm a total newb at any of this I have to ask, is it possible to use oyster shells like that which is given to chickens for calcium?
I have apparently inadvertently begun breading mystery snails. (At least I think that is what they are) and was wondering about their shell health.
Yeah that's fine
-
Also I want to breed red and blue ramshorns will they sell better than normal ones?
-
My water already is full of calcium, when it dries, I have powder. Should I supplement some edible calcium?
-
Mine is when people tell me off and tell me off and tell me off and tell me off and tell me off and tell me off because what I want to do is not " right" like I want pest snails and algae, but everyone gets mad at me when I say that.

Hey I like and want pest snails too!

What is the maximum tank size for an African dwarf frog?
-
I want to breed ramshorns as a project, how would I do it? And every one I sell is profit since I am a kid so lucky me

Thanks

Guppies. Lots of people like guppies and they're super easy to breed. They are fish Gremlins just add water and they multiply

How many drops of clove oil to Anastasia's my guppies? I need to give them a salt bath but I'm afraid to do it while they're awake again because that seemed way stressful
-
Can you name the videos? Sorry I can not watch them but I can on my computer so I need the names
-
If I do two dwarfs, will they breed?

If it was me, I would divide.
What ratio?

Is a normal uv light ok for fin rot?
