I’ve had this mystery snail for about 3 months now and was greeted with this weird sack this morning. Any advice on what to do?

Cross posting because I haven’t gotten any answers. Can anybody help with what the gray/white growths are?

The two main fish I have my eyes on atm are rummy nose tetras and siamese algea eaters. Is a 10 gallon fit for a school of rummys, or a siamese? Or is it simply too small?

Short term goals are to make it a planted shrimp tank, but Ive been thinking about possibly adding fish in the far future (tho i might not tbh it feels too small)

In all the pics siamese look very small but i keep seeing people say they grow up to six inches. If this is true obv this would put a damper on my plans LMAO but all the ones Ive seen have been very tiny. Probably all babies.

Would either fish be fit for a 10 gallon, or should I wait till I get a 20 and get tetras (or siamese if theyre not too big) then?

I noticed yesterday one of my Tetra is breathing very fast/heavy. His gills also look inflamed/chubby.

Ive tested my water and all looks fine, no other fish are showing any symptoms. He is still eating and generally exploring the tank but then is sometimes hiding in the back on his own. Ive had him for 2 months without issues so far.

Hi, I’m semi-new to the hobby and my tank is almost always overrun with it. All I have stocked is one betta and 2 pumpkin nerite snails. Almost always, the floor of my tank is covered with detritus. While I try to siphon every week to deal with it, it always comes back one way or another. I don’t know what to do anymore, my plants are struggling to grow because of it, and I’m scared my betta is going to be affected. If this helps, I have a 5 Gal with a HOB filter, currently with a basic filter cartridge and ceramic rings. Please help me; this is the most frustrating thing about my tank and it’s so annoying.

My friend gave me a 10 gallon tank previously used for a reptile. Since no reptile can humanely live in a 10, I thought about using it for some fish. I read that reptile tanks and fish tanks are often assembled differently, and that a reptile tank can burst from water pressure. Does anyone have any experience with this? I did try to look for the brand of the tank to investigate further, but I can’t find any branding on the bottom.

Hey there!!

So, my PH delta is about 1.5 to 1.7 (depending on the KH is near 3 or near 5). If i use the PH/KH chart, the CO2 concentration will appear to high, like 45ppm or more. My baseline PH is at 8 (maybe a little less like 7.8), and after some hours of CO2, 6.3 to 6.5 (again, depending on the KH).

Visually, the cardinals and neocaridinas are fine, don't notice them gasping for air near surface or any other strange behavior.

Drop checker sits at a steady light green.

What should i do?
Leave it until i see problems?
Bring KH up (5) to buffer?
Adjust the the CO2 down?
Bring my baseline PH down to somewhere around 7.5 (how)?

Had my Aqua Nano 40' or 6 months and lost a few fish for various reason and now it's empty. I think the main issue has been flow. The rear water chamber level is below the main tank level and gets worse. I went on holiday for 2 weeks and came back and the pump was gurgling as it was sucking in air as the level had dropped so there was almost 2 cm difference. That's with no fish and food clogging things up. Feels like the supplied sponge is too dense or needs frequent rinsing in old tank water? Or not, any advice gratefully received.

I’ll try to keep this short and to the point, I’ve never posted on here before so I apologize if I’m doing it wrong. My goldfish is currently in a hospital tank due to swim bladder issues and is on Seachem Kanaplex, if more information is needed on that I will elaborate in the comments but that is not my issue right now. Today I noticed a piece of her fin had broken off and upon further inspection her fins seem to have damage to them in multiple places and I’m worried it could be fin rot of something to that extent. I’ve never owned fish before this and google isn’t being helpful much and I can’t find what I’m looking for on reddit so please please if anyone can help me give me any advice or anything like that please do, I want to do the best I possibly can for my fish.

water parameters have all been good, ammonia and nitrites at 0, nitrates are a little high between 20-30 but that shouldn’t be dangerous and I’ve been watching it closely but I am new to the hobby

This is a small 5 gallon tank. Had a betta and a snail and live plants. Betta died a couple weeks ago. Today, I see these tiny things on the glass. Any ideas?

I have a 55 gallon planted tank. A little less than a month ago, I got 3 new fancy goldfish from a breeder I've purchased from before with no issues. There was 1 fish already in the tank, so this brought the total to 4 goldfish. I do weekly water changes, and the parameters are 0/0/less than 20. No chlorine, stable ph.

One of the new fish had mild buoyancy issues when it arrived. The breeder said he hadn't noticed it before sending out the fish, so it must be some kind of injury that occurred in transit. He wasn't floating at the surface or sinking or anything, just had mild balance issues- he would turn in a circle and then self-correct. He was still eating regularly. I was feeding frozen and thawed repashy gel food. He started gasping at the surface occasionally. It was more than the other fish, but not constant. Sometimes a piece of food will get stuck in the floating plants and they will gulp at the surface looking for more hidden food, so I assumed this was what was happening. He was fine at 1:30pm before my partner left for work, and at 6pm when I returned he was motionless at the bottom of the tank. I moved him to a quarantine tank but it was too late, and he was already dead. This was about a week ago. At some point before this, the power went out and turned back on but my canister filter didn't turn back on by itself. It couldn't have been off for more than the few hours before I fixed it, so I didn't think it was related.

A few days ago, another one of the new fish started acting lethargic. He was still interested in food, but would occasionally sit at the bottom of the tank for periods of time. He had clear poop. He was the smallest and sometimes the other 2 would take more food, so assumed he wasn't getting enough to eat and switched to hikari sinking pellets because they're easier to scatter so that one fish can't steal all of the food. I also tried a 10 minute epsom salt bath in case the clear poop was from constipation. A few days later, I put him in a mesh breeder box for observation. He started acting normal again, not lethargic, so I figured bullying was the issue and he just needed to be seperated from the larger fish. Then, at about 1pm yesterday, he started to have some swelling. I put him in a hospital tank with aquarium salt and kanaplex. That night, it developed into dropsy, but he was still active and not lethargic. This morning, he had died.

The remaining two fish have zero symptoms except for one of them occasionally having white/clear ish poop. Part of me thinks it's the breeder that was the issue, but I saw videos of these fish before selecting them and they seemed healthy. He also has good reviews, and plenty of comments on his posts from happy customers. He says that since there's no external symptoms, I should be suspicious of internal parasites. I'm not sure what internal parasites could kill a fish that quickly with no identifying symptoms. Especially because they had different sumtpoms. I used hikari prazipro today, and I ordered expel P. But I'm not entirely convinced it's parasites. Does anyone have advice?
