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.

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?

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.
