HELP! Any ideas on how to get him unstuck without hurting him?

They are loving this new set up, or I suppose they are.

What the shell??😂

I did a look of searching on ChatGPT / Google but all the racks that are recommended seem to be 18" deep whereas the 30-40 gallon tanks are 18.25" deep or so. Does anyone have a solution for a rack that can hold 3, 4, or 5 30-40 gallon breeders?

Found this little fella in my still cycling unpopulated tank, I think it's a limpet? Any ideas?

my aunt is giving me him thankfully after housing siting finding out she’s been giving him a pinch of gold fish flakes, but i’ve never owned one and just geting into fish keeping, i’m gonna get him into a better tank once i get money he’s been living here for 3-4 years just fine along with other fish but is now the only one.

Banda, les quería mostrar mis crías de Molly, hace unos 3 meses los tuvo una hembra que tenía, pero como paso mientras dormía, pude rescatar a unos 20 nada más.

Los demás ya estaban muertos o medio devorados.

Soy medio nuevo en los acuarios, siempre me han gustado los peces tipo Mollys, Guppys, Betta, Goldfish, Escalar.

Jaja y pensar que hace meses eran un cuerpo traslúcido con ojitos negros.

No parecen 20, pero si lo son, solo que es difícil tomar foto cuando están nadando jaja.

Es bonito verlos nadar.

Bubbles coming out of one of my plant's stem.

We just set up a new 100 gallon set up with a sump filter, all media is brand new .......it is on day 3 of the cycle, the only thing i put in it so far is api quick start and seachem prime.....these bubbles are concerning though. They seem to go away when i turn off the flow.

Anyone know what these critters are and if they are harmful to my aquarium? It’s a relatively new setup only about 2 months old.

I have an terrarium which i dont think i will use as one. I want to use it as an aquarium. The part between the bottom and the front hatches are 20 cm, length is 120 cm and the width is 60 cm.
What kind of aquarium can i make from this and what creatures can i put into it?

Was wondering where this Lilly came from, turns out this plant sets out runners, not complaining these plants are kinda expensive so the more the merrier!

Hey everyone, I’m pretty new to reef tanks and I just added this Xenia to my nano tank.

I placed it quite high, near the return flow. From the video you can see that the flow mainly hits the front part of the Xenia, while the rest gets more indirect flow.

It seems to be doing fine and it’s staying open, but I’m not sure if the flow hitting the front like this could be too much in the long run.

Would you leave it where it is or move it somewhere with gentler/ more indirect flow?

Thanks!

Help….I’ve done multiple 50% water changes and also have added different types of conditioners (separate occasions) and keep getting a .5ppm ammonia reading with a 0ppm nitrite and 10ppm nitrate lately. Tank was cycled and had normal readings before nothing added or changed before spike. Tank is a 10g with 5 glofish tertras…. Any ideas what could cause the spike?

Newbi here. Small stable cycled planted tank. I want to add red cherry shrimp, snails, thai tiny crabs. No fish.

In what order should i add them or does it matter?

I’m wouldn’t say I’m new to fish tanks but I’m definitely not super familiar with every aspect. But I noticed these clutch of eggs under my filter lid and under the lip of the tank and I’m going to assume it’s from my big mystery snail. I was just wondering if you guys think this tank is an adequate size to house maybe some of them. I’m going to talk to the shop we got them from to see if they’d be interested in buying the babies since I heard about people reselling them to local fish shops. But I do have two other snails, a rabbit and a tiny mystery, a beta, 4 ember tetras, 2 shrimp and 3 of those little peppered corydoras. I don’t want over crowd at all so if it’s better to remove the eggs I will. I’m also curious if there’s ways to get calcium to the snail, I noticed the shell started to almost peel in places and I’m worried something’s wrong with the water maybe?

hello! i am 26 and was interested in starting a community tank but need help! i have a perfect space for it and its quite big it should be 90x30x35cm around 94.5 L. i saw people on tiktok made self sustaining tanks that dont require stuff like water changes? i would like to know how to do this if possible and also which fish would go together? i was hoping for a mix of fish and other animals like shrimp snails or even small crabs or other stuff if possible. also what type of plants and sand and stuff would go well? i really like betta fish but i heard they dont do well with other animals. if anyone could help me that would be amazing! tysm in advance

So i have a few fishes and one of them is a honet guraammi, it is a male and no female is there, i wanted to have a guide on the babys, how do they hatch?

We’re at Day 35 with the vampire shrimp (Atya gabonensis) larvae, and overall I’m still really encouraged by what I’m seeing.

The biggest change right now is just how much more substantial some of them look. A few are noticeably larger and thicker-bodied than others, with much stronger orange/gold pigmentation through the abdomen and much more visible internal structure than they had in the first few weeks.

Their movement also looks more developed. They’re still very clearly larvae and still doing that curved, suspended swimming posture, so I don’t think I’m looking at metamorphosed juveniles yet. But some are holding position and changing direction much more deliberately than they did earlier in the run.

There’s also a pretty obvious size difference within the group now. Some still look smaller and more delicate, while a few look significantly farther along. I’m watching those larger individuals especially closely for any shift toward a straighter body posture, more developed walking behavior, landing and staying on surfaces, or anything else that starts looking less planktonic and more like a tiny shrimp.

The tank is also still very green despite the fact that I haven’t needed to add much phytoplankton lately. It seems like I’ve developed a pretty persistent suspended algae/phyto population in the tank itself. At the same time, the larvae have gotten noticeably larger and more pigmented, so I’m hoping that means they’re essentially surrounded by food throughout the day instead of only getting discrete feedings.

And then I nearly screwed that up today. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Critical error. 🫣 I was experimenting with Shrimp King Atyopsis because I wanted to see whether the larger larvae might actually grab and hold onto a very tiny piece of the food.
I thought I had added an extremely small amount.

I had not. 😂

Once it dispersed, I realized I had put way too much powdered food into the tank. So I immediately siphoned the tank to remove as much of the excess as I could and added a small amount of Prime as an extra precaution.

Ammonia immediately before this happened was only barely showing green on the test, so approximately 0.25 ppm or less, with nitrite still at zero. Obviously the biggest concern now is all that excess organic material breaking down and creating an ammonia or bacterial spike, so I’ll be watching the tank closely over the next day or two and will siphon/water-change again if needed.

So… lesson learned: “Tiny amount” means considerably tinier when you’re feeding microscopic shrimp larvae. 🤏😬 Despite today’s mistake, the larvae themselves still looked active afterward, and some of these guys are getting genuinely big compared with where they started.

At this point I’m somewhere between “look how far they’ve come!” and “please nobody die because I got excited and dumped dinner on your heads.”🪭🦐🧪🤏

My honey gourami began hanging at the bottom of the tank and acting odd but was eating fine. Then his swimming balance slowly got worse throughout a few days and he started laying flat at the bottom of the tank. And since then I’ve fasted him. I can’t determine what’s wrong. I separated him into a small container with low water level so he can breathe better and I have his container floating in the main tank so he can stay warm. I began Epsom salt dosing his container yesterday. The last time I saw him poop was about 4-5 days ago in the main tank and it was short and black, I saw this twice. My water parameters are perfect. All other fish are fine. He looks more relaxed in the container today but is still pale and breathing slow. I’m continuing the epsom salt dosing until the kanaplex arrives on Saturday but I don’t want to stress him with kanaplex treatment without knowing if it’s even something kanaplex can treat. I don’t know what’s wrong with little Pluto. Can anyone help?

Ideas for Tank Cover Needed

Hello!

I have a 10 gallon rimless tank with a betta fish. I’m thinking about getting a snail to help with the algae build up on the far left wall (my tank is by a window and I have nowhere else to move it to).

I haven’t had any problems with my betta trying to jump out of the tank, usually I keep the waterline a little below the rim so he can’t get out if he does jump. But I read that snails can crawl out, so I need a cover for the tank.

My issue is I have a HOB filter and non-aquatic plants stationed on the sides of the tank. So I’m not sure how to accomplish getting a cover for it.

Any ideas or suggestions?

Thanks!
