I have Japanese trapdoor snails the really look like wizard snails, but I just feed the tank. I think @Guppysnail has some experience, snails are kinda her thing. send pictures when you can

Are they detritus worms? If so, the fix is easy. Just add fish and cur back on the food in the tank.

Nice!

Your water is similar to mine, and I use crushed coral in my discus tank without issue. What kind of fish do you want to keep?

Beautiful tank! Since it’s taller than you want, what’s the downside of trying?

Nice! Pictures of your grow out tanks?

You know it!

@AllFishNoBrakes commented about how fast they grow after they start looking like angels. Welp. This should give you an idea exactly how much.

I’ve seen a video where dean used it to feed fry. He touched the tip of a dry paintbrush into the Repashy, then tapped it over the breeders box.

That’s Baby Girl. She’s about 6 months old and half Ricky’s size.

6 days later - definitely starting to look like angels. But my snail population has exploded, the water-sprite floating in the tank is growing at an unprecedented rate, and pictures are becoming a challenge. All good problems to have, but problems just the same.

@KittenFishMom I get it, if the hobby is bringing more stress than joy, you really really don’t need it. I was trying to offer kind words in a trying time because you are such a great forum member.

I’m sorry to hear you are setting the hobby aside, at least for now. I’ve enjoyed your posts.

Yeah. I really hate the waiting rooms here at Overton Brooks VA medical center. The chairs are older than me, not old enough to be antique or new enough to be trendy, and made before comfort was a thing. but the price is right.

I found this article that says female guppies reach sexual maturity at 3 months. So maybe? I find water sprite is terrific as a floating plant.

@TheSwissAquaristdoing great! Still have about 100 babies bobbing around.

Pipe cutter if you have one. Sharp edges can be eliminated with a lighter, just don’t over do it.

It’s been a solid 10 days since the fry started free swimming. they grow-up so fast. 😢

Eggs were laid on or about 2 February. The amazing thing is that in a tank full of BNP’s, the eggs made it and I don’t see any predation on the little beggars.

they just keep growing!

We are down 2 dogs now, Baxter, ruler of all he sees. (Unless he sees Sophee) and Sophee. Our miniature goldendoodle……

Nice! Sometimes u just gotta try stuff. Doesn’t work? Try something else.

They really don’t spend much time in the crypts. I’m thinking about moving it to another tank. Just not sure…

Hadn’t seen the fry in about 2 days, until this morning. Baby Girl and Ricky were frantically scooping up runaways. Or it that swimaways? Then tonight:

To be honest, (like you’d want me to lie) I never pull the eggs with either of the Corydoras I breed. In fact, I never see panda eggs. The sailfins frequently deposit on the glass, but my pandas like hiding the in the plants. I primarily feed flake and tetra shrimp wafers, and occasionally frozen bloodworms and brine shrimp. I think the trick is to have lots of hiding spots for the babies 👶 (forgive the dirty tank in the pictures below, it’s time for a wc. And the water level is low, so lots of bubbles where the HOB spills into the tank)
