Mississippi fish guy Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 I just tested my moina/snail tank and the ammonia read 8ppm and I was wondering how to drain most of the water without siphoning out the moina? Also the snails stopped laying eggs and I was wondering if they will lay more eggs when the ammonia is gone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guppysnail Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 Drain it through a brine shrimp sieve and return the moina to the culture ir feed them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mississippi fish guy Posted July 23 Author Share Posted July 23 Would it be a problem if the moons came into contact with chlorine? The tank is lower than the sink so I’m not sure if I can drain it without the sink turned on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guppysnail Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 Yes it would kill them. If your setup allows dip a cup in it and pour the cup through a sieve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mississippi fish guy Posted July 23 Author Share Posted July 23 I went ahead with the water change and there were still at least one hundred moina left thanks for the help. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mississippi fish guy Posted July 24 Author Share Posted July 24 I just tested the water after a roughly 90 percent water change and the ammonia read 2 ppm while the ammonia in the tank I took the water from is 0 ppm. I was wondering if this could be the problem? this is what the algae looks like when it is healthy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
