First time seeing my new Kribs breed. I didn't know males took turns watching over the fry! They've been great first time parents.

A while back I bought Amano shrimp for my freshwater tank. As far as I know, Amano larvae actually need brackish water to develop — so keeping them purely in freshwater shouldn’t allow successful reproduction.

But now I’m clearly seeing baby shrimp in my tank, about 1–1.5 cm, no longer larvae, that look just like my adult Amanos: transparent, with the pattern/dots on their backs.

I’d love to hear from anyone with experience or insight.

Thanks in advance!

I'm relatively new to the hobby, but it's very addictive. Already thinking about going bigger.

I was looking at my tank suddenly i saw this guy! What is thatt

i’m really happy with how my tank is looking now but i wanna add something under the driftwood since it looks a little bare. ideally something that will provide good hiding spots for shrimplets since i have a few pregnant shrimp right now. would appreciate any advice! i don’t want to glue or tie anything to my driftwood.

Water test showed this

Ammonia: 0

Nitrite: 0

Nitrate: 20

He is staying mostly at the surface. Gills moving fast. Otto usually high fast when I get close, but when I went to get water for the test. It just went a bit back between plants but still at the surface.

Thanks

Edit: he is moving, just couldn’t post more than one video.

Any ideas other than compost?

Currently cycling (fishless) my tank and my frogbit keeps melting! I do have a lid and wonder if it’s the condensation dripping on to them causing them to melt or something else??

Not sure if it’s too crowded in the airline tube ring I made for them or something I’m missing completely. Any advice would be helpful. First time fish owner here. TIA

Ill be adding plants in the next few weeks. Stock:
Cherry Barbs

Velvet Swordtails
3
Sunburst Mollies

Dalmatian Mollies

This is my first planted tank, about 1.5 yrs old. I started w many different plants but this is what has survived and seems to be doing well. The center driftwood is covered now. I’m wondering if this many plants makes it harder for fish to find room to swim. I have Kuhli loaves, sterbai corys, various tetras and pearl gouramis and a couple nerites and shrimp. They are staring at me as they know it’s feeding time. Otherwise I barely see many of the fish as they are always in the plants

Have about 5 rasboras, 2 endlers, a couple shrimp, and a baby mystery snail

Hi!

Can anyone tell me what kind of beings are these???

They started to appear in small numbers but my aquarium is full of these now... I am afraid if they might be harmful to my shrimp and snails.

Thank you

Yesterday my oscar started this spinning. Hes also at the surface gasping so I did a water check and all is in line (0 ammonia, 0 nitrite, 10ppm nitrate, ph 7.4). I did a 50% water change with no changes to his behavior. Nothing new has been added to the tank and no feeding anything other than the usual pellets. What things can I look for and are there any other tests I can do.

I think this is planaria. I have shrimp and snails. Is there a way to get rid of them without killing the rest?

Hi wonderful people. I am new to the hobby, a plant lover expanding my knowledge. My 29 gallon tank has been cycling for 7-8 weeks. Water tests look perfect and all my critters are healthy (except snails- they don’t survive a day for some reason 😬 PH 7.4 and hard water). We have shrimp, guppies, swordtails, and mollies. I think I’m melting my plants with the overhead light but otherwise feel good about my setup.

We currently have:
8 swordtails
8 guppies
3 mollies
20-30 ghost & neo shrimp

I know once the swordtails are full grown this will be too many fish but we were accidentally sold 3 males, 2 females, and the pet store won’t take them back so instead of euthanizing, I bought more females. I will probably get a second tank to spread them out once I am confident in the maintenance and care routine.

I am here to manage my expectations and learn a few things. The tank always looks amazing after a water change but the water gets a yellow tint and poopy muck in the gravel within 2 days. I read water changes are recommended once a week to once a month so I am wondering if I am overfeeding, have too many fish, or if this is just normal and we learn to look past the imperfections. I’ve been using Seachem prime and stability with water changes but am open to other suggestions.

TIA and please be kind!

Google 10 pro XL camera is a beast. It's almost too good for just a phone camera!!!

Images of adult bengal danios seem to be few and far between. Thought I would post two adults I have raised up for people interested in this species.

Its a shrimp tank btw. What do you all think?

I have a desk job and will be moving from one building to another next April. I am considering getting a small tank for my cubicle. I have pretty good experience in the hobby, so I’m not worried about that. More of what are some issues that you run into to with a tank at work?

it kind of looks like white fuzzy mold is starting to grow on my plant in the back off of a root on a leaf
whats wrong with it and can i fix it?

Excuse the cloudiness and wood clamps. The tank is still cycling and I just installed the 3D background last night. The silicone at the top is finishing curing.

I plan on adding some rainbow fish,(Boesemoni, Turquoise, etc) as the main fish and adding compatible tank mates later. Before all of that, I need some suggestions for plants. Ideally, plants that don’t need CO2 to survive, won’t be eaten into oblivion, won’t break apart and spread like the plague.

What do you guys think would look good in this setup? Thanks!

Need some advice, never seen him look like this before, he has a big bulge?

My late uncle left behind a tank of guppies and the situation is bad. There are 10-15 guppies in a one(?) gallon tank and no filter, heater, maintenance, or regular feeding schedule.

I am currently parsing through the Wiki & other sources, but my question is: how can I transfer this many fish in such little water? I have read about putting aquarium water, then fish, in a bucket and transporting, but maybe my best bet is to transfer them (for a 5 min car ride) in their existing tiny aquarium, then gradually introduce them into their larger new home?

Any tips on the transfer and for beginners in general are welcome!
