[Small yellow balls in my shrimp tank.]

Actually yes. I recently added tissue culture monte carlo and hair grass. Also, I added Flourish and API root tabs. That could be it. So I buried it back in the sand. Thank you Daniel & Brian.

[Small yellow balls in my shrimp tank.]

Hello. Need help identifying these small yellow balls in my shrimp tank. I saw these appear a couple of weeks ago and ignored it. Now they've turned translucent. I took one out and it squished like an egg. They are bigger than shrimp eggs so I don't they any shrimp would have dropped it. It's an open tank so I guess an insect must have laid eggs?

Thanks for the reply. Those brands aren't available in my country. I also drop some peas and green beans for the apple snail which the fish also eat.

[Rummynose Tetras are not plant safe.]

Last year I added 12 rummynose tetras to my 2 year old 60 gallon heavily planted community tank. As they grew to adult sizes after a year they started nibbling on some plants and harassing my betta. I recently noticed the betta fins ripped badly and they have eaten all of my hydrocotyle tripartita mini. I was trying to make a carpet but now not a single leaf is left on them. I had to remove the rummynose tetras for my betta and my plants benefit. Now I must have watched like 50 videos from popular youtubers keeping rummynose tetras in planted tank and none of them seem to experience this. 

 

NOTE: I change water once a month and I test my water every month before a water change. My nitrates barely reach 20ppm in a month so I'm going to start doing a water change every 2 months.
