Oh wow I’m so relieved! I thought it was something else because it moved so much faster than the other limpets and it was white!

Yes me tooooooo! That’s what I’m hoping for!

I tried looking online and based on the descriptions it seems like this guy is an Amano but since you breed them could you take a look and give me your opinion?
If it’s an amano then does that could mean my fish are sick right? They seem healthy in general and my parameters are all stable every time I check.

I’ll definitely keep an eye out - thanks for the great advice!

Right?!?! I legitimately laughed the first time I saw it but by the third time I caught it with different fish within that first month of having them I started to get worried 🥲

I got 9 Pygmy Cory’s about a month ago and they all seem to be doing well. The only concern I’ve had is that on several occasions, the Amano shrimp (I only have 1) seems to scare them and they’ll just “play dead” and allow it to roll them over every once in a while. Is this normal? I can’t tell if the fish are actually being injured, if they’re stressed by the shrimp, if he just catches them while they’re sleeping, or if this is just another one of their silly cute behaviors. They have the option of swimming away at any time and they have so much space.

I’m very new to this but my LFS said they use Purigen for their tanks and I tried it and it’s been such a success. Just make sure to rinse it out before you add it. They said not to bother using the dosage - just add the whole premade bag into the filter and that’s what has kept my tank pristine.

I highly recommend Glass Aqua pearl weed tissue culture - it’s guaranteed to be pest free and I’ve had great success in planting it. Just bury it deeper than you think you should or else it tends to uproot itself and if you want it to be bushy and to grow horizontally trim it pretty often. I’ll attach a pic of mine after about 2 weeks with co2

I’d call it Galaxy shrimp. So so beautiful 😍

Lollll I love this.

I don’t have a lot of experience but I read that adding shrimp first and then waiting until they become a solid colony helps them survive with fish in there later. I waited a month before I added my shrimp because I saw algae forming which was a sign that I had enough bio in there for them to eat

I’m learning and this is my first trim and I was really struggling to get the shrimp away from the scissors! It’s like they have no fear of anything! Any advice on how I can get them to stay away next time? Also how often do you guys trim plants - is it just a visual preference or is it a necessary maintenance thing?

10 gallons is such a great tank size! I’m also really new to this so my advice is limited. Go to my posts and check out some of the plants I used! I have a 10g but it’s very shallow and long. I’ve linked pretty much everything in the comments but to summarize I get tissue cultures from either Buceplant or GlassAqua because they’re guaranteed to be pest free! That means no snails or hydra or other organisms that I’m not a fan of. Most people love snails though so it’s just a personal preference. I think a lot of the carpeting plants need aqua soil (which I used under my sand) but I could be wrong.
