  1. That's very interesting!! I guess I just don't know how good it would do for me dipping my plants as they're all over in my tank, on rocks, on the glass on my SNAILS! I'd imaine there all over the substrate and sponge filter to but both are black so I cannot tell. They can absolutely survive submerged without floating plants present. but I'll definitely look into doing that to knock their numbers down The big issue is my fish DON'T eat these, I have Gardneri Killis in a 10g tank and Golden Wonder Killis in a 20g long, the Golden's absolutely don't eat them they won't even acknowledge baby brine shrimp as a food source so doubt they're not gonna notice these little things. I never see the gardneri eating them except ONE smaller female who seems to notice them but if she is eating them shes absolutely not eating them enough for population control sadly. I'm not entirely against getting a fish to maybe help but I have 7 gardneri in the 10g so i don't really wanna add anything else and my golden wonders are VERY aggressive and likely to just kill, bully and or eat any new tankmates that could help me here
  2. Hello I have been dealing with these bugs for some time and I just want to get rid of them I don't know where they came from, none of my fish will eat them, they are NOT snails. They have legs but move very slowly I only see them move when I take them out the tank. I noticed them when they started doing heavy damage to my floating plants, manual removal of infected plants, increased water changes havent seemed to help at all The picture is of an anubias leaf that grew in fine and undamaged and this is what they've done to it in a few short days. Some online searching has led me to believe these are just some water mite? Most are harmless but guess not mine and nobody really says how to get rid of them, I've seen suggestions that endlers will eat them but I cannot really add any fish to either of my tanks due to current stocking. Any advice and ideas are helpful and appreciated!
  3. I've been nothing but happy with my aquarium co-op plant orders. I got a water sprite and was basically almost too tall for my 10 gallon and quickly grew to over take it, i love it, my favorite plant!
  4. I think my #1 is the Redtail Catfish, they're just beautiful fish. I'll never be in a position to own any monster fish and even if I could I'd still probably not. I guess fish I'm not ready to own yet but plan to are annual killifish, none in particular in mind atm. I just want more experience in the hobby and with raising fry, also gotta get over the feeling of wanting to 100% quit the whole hobby whenever a fish dies. Also shoutout to shrimps, crayfish and crabs! I just dont want another tank atm, some of the ones im interested in are too expensive and/or I'm just not confident enough to provide their care.
  5. Is he a dragonscale? Sadly lots of times their scales grow over their eyes that's kinda what it looks like to me. Look up diamond eye.
  6. My tanks in my room so he probably can always see me, he's quite skittish tho and doesn't really excitedly rush to see me or eat food. Mentioning betta I actually had a betta who did the same snake kinda movement but not the 8-turn/flip (that i ever saw anyway). I wish I could catch him on video doing it, I've tried but it's just a random thing so I would just have to get lucky! Its like a sharp slow deliberate movement.
  7. Gardneri Killifish 10g 74 degrees Ammonia and Nitrite 0ppm. Nitrate 10-20ppm. PH is ~7.4 I'm goin crazy trying to find out if this is just a normal thing fish do and im just worrying for nothing. So basically is it normal for fish to just kinda...twist/snake around sometimes? It's never panicky or fast or continuous but sometimes I just catch him doing this. hes just swimming, he stops does a slow/stationary like S snake-like motion or a kinda 8-like twisty turn/flip then just goes on about his day. It's hard to explain! Is that normal? Eating normal, no fast breathing, no other symptoms. Is this something to worry about or just a normal fish thing?
