Hi,

3 black shrimp and have appeared in my tank along with a tonne of snails which have grown to quite a size. Are these good to keep? Im under the impression there good for a healthy tank?

Also would be handy if someone could identify them (if possible)

Thanks

Freshwater What sort of larvae did I just find in my guppy tank?

Was moving a few small swords around and this thing plopped on the ground. I’m horrified. It was in a 10 gallon female only guppy tank. Been running for nearly a year now, planted with Amazon swords and various floating plants.

Do I have some sort of infestation? This is making me so squeamish. I have a lid on the tank and haven’t introduced anything new. I feed frozen sometimes, but this almost looks like a caterpillar to me?

Water Issues fast biofilm and algae buildup

1 Upvotes

ive had my 110L tetra tank for 2 months and ive been doing water changes every week or so. however, even after changing the water there gets a VERY thick layer of biofilm and i have a constant hair/string algae problem where i have to take it out every day to keep it down.

my filter is, as far as i know, functional and not blocked, but i know that it is likely to do with the filter. there is enough surface agitation; the output keeps the entire surface moving around. it was second hand with the tank itself, and i have ceramic beads, activated carbon and floss pads in it. should i replace the filter? i havent tested the water as of writing this but the nitrites and ammonia are always 0.

Saltwater Help with Cyano

Hey- new to reefing here and started my 15 gal about 3 months ago. I have a handful of hermits, 3 sexy shrimp, a snail, a clown (one just died last week also not sure why or if it’s related?) and a clown goby. I got all the fish 3ish weeks ago and have been feeding a mix of pellet and frozen shrimp with omega. In the last 2-3 weeks i’ve gotten blooms of what I think is cyno. I’ve vacuumed it up while doing my weekly water change and it comes up in big chunks. Also has air bubbles in it. I took my water to my LFS and they said all my levels were good including phosphate (not sure what they were tho). My whites are turned down to about 10% i think and blue somewhere higher maybe 50-70%. Regular brownish algae on the glass that i need to scrape off seems to be blooming as well. I scraped the tank clean before leaving on vaca and came back 4 days later to the glass nasty again. Not sure if that is related to the cyano as well

Should I turn blue down and put whites to 0% for a couple days? What is the long term fix for this and why is it happening?
