    Did you ever use any copper medication in that tank? Copper is poisonous to invertebrates. What ph was the tank? Did these shrimp come from another aquarium, if so how similar were the water parameters? If they didn't come from another one of your aquariums where the parameters where the same then I would say yes you need to drip acclimate them. If the ph was different dripping also is good.

    My betta has the same blue shimmer spots @Flumpweesel. They are more blue than white especially when the light hits him just right.

    @JamieB513 Wow that blue is so bright! I have a koi plakat male betta! Can't wait to see the tank fully stocked!

    Tank looks great! Welcome! What type/color is your betta?

    You could try the frosted back look. Where you apply the film to it. But that will be semi-transparent so it will show whatever is behind the tank a little.

    No problem! I am sure someone here has experience with the eggs. But as far as I know the only way to prevent it is to only buy male nerites.
  7. StockEwe49
    They can still lay the eggs in freshwater but they will only hatch in brackish.
  8. StockEwe49
    Since you have Nerite Snails I would say it is from them. Only the female Nerites lay the eggs.

    If the privacy aspect is something you are looking for I would recommend looking at the differences between Android and Apple.

    The best information you can learn is from experience. Sometimes you can only be so prepared for a new fish!

    You can also move the affected fish into a 5 gallon bucket and treat the bucket, not the tank if it is a big tank.

    I am unfamiliar with his setting's but I believe it is recommended by most to have around 8 hours of light. I'm sure someone else can chime in here who is more experienced.

    @Coludo you think aquarium salt would help? If so, how long would it be good to treat him with salt since I would have to relocate him to a 5 gallon bucket. I may try the leaves, but I will have to get some more first.

    @Zenzo thanks for responding! I think that may have been what happened, there are some holes by the smaller rocks so that makes me think he went in there. But I was thinking at first Columaris or a disease with swelling since he is plump but the scales don't look like they are sticking out rather they look like they have been damaged.

    Hi all, I noticed today that my Plakat Betta on his side has some whiteness to his scales and they also look bent. I was wondering what people think this could be. Pictures are below. to me it looks like he maybe scratched his side? There is one large rock in the tank that he could have scratched himself against, what do you guys think? He is in a 10 gallon with two Harlequin Rasboras and a mystery snail. Also, I tested the water and it is fine.

    @lefty o Yea I had to cut back on the feeding! Anytime I walk by the tank they act like they are hungry.
  18. StockEwe49
    Hi all, I came across something funny the other day: I realized that my guppies will follow my hand above the water when I am feeding them. What are some fun quirks you have realized about your fish when they are hungry or want food?
  19. StockEwe49
    Welcome! Your plants and fish look great!

    Zenzo did a video fairly recently where he gave a tip about Root Tabs that makes them easier to sink. Use a push pin to puncture a hole in them, then hold one tab in a pair of tweezers under water and squeeze a couple times to get the air out. I just did this last week and it made the whole process way easier.

    I use the mag float algae scrappers. They work well and you can also attach or detach a razor blade to the front. They will also float not sink if you disconnect them both from the glass. You do have to watch out getting gravel stuck in them it will scratch the glass but that is really the only downside of them.

    @813aquatics I believe Cory talked about this on his latest live stream but I have not watched it yet.
  23. StockEwe49
    @Chris2022 I would recommend getting a mag float algae scrapper to scrape the front of your aquarium if you want to get rid of the algae. they also sell blade attachments that help with tougher algae.

    @JettsPapaok cool I did not know it was called that! It seems like a desirable trait to want to have in your colony.
  25. StockEwe49
    Huh, I wonder what species will not be on the white-list. Probably anything that could become invasive? That definitely seems like it could impact the hobby but also the white list could cover everything we keep anyways. I am interested to see if there are any lawyer Nerms here 😃!
