They carry the skinny disease from the infected guppies? Cause so far those guppies are the only ones that got sick.

Can snails carry and transfer those btw?

Only the fish that I bought from that guy. Now there's only 1 of them left. My other fish seem ok. There's a couple guppies, a pair of minnows, a balloon molly, some nerites and apple snails and a cory. I've got a lot of guppy fry that I'll be adding into that tank as soon as they get bigger...

So I think a guy just sold me infected guppies. A few of them were separated from his main tanks and had them in his backyard. I started noticing them getting skinnier amd they weren't really big to begin with even tho they were female and now slowly dying off. I'd be fine if the guppies had a...

And it went away on it's own. Just had to siphon some of it that fell down on the substrate.

How'd they get there tho cause I've had this tank setup for a while now and I put the seed shrimp there myself cause I thought they'd be good for cleaning. I was worried cause I thought they might be larvae of some bug cause I have the tanks near the terrace door and I get a couple bugs...

I've had seed shrimp infesting this tank and now this. Can anyone tell me what these are and if they can harm my shrimps?

Yeah I wanna take it out and just boil the heck out of it again but I'll just probably brush and clean it off for now because with the way I made my fish rack, it's too much hassle to remove it since it's so big. I miscalculated how much space I'd need above the tank to remove stuff and put...

Over here there's a lot of backyard breeders and a lot of shops that don't usually care about the fish they get. They just sell for the sake of selling and the knowledge they have are usually just from experience. So I don't think they'll know if their fish has tb or something. I found a guy...

I've boiled that wood so many times, even bleached it before and I boil everything I put in my tanks even the sand. Guess I'm gonna have to keep scrubbing and hope it goes away.

Wow in Asia that's kinda rare, they just wanna sell the fish. Bought some newly imported spotted rasboras and they were really thin when I got them. The fish store didn't even quarantine or make sure they were all healthy. Thankfully all of them survived and I've fatten them up now. I really...

Is that the tb disease from gouramis? I was planning on getting a honey gourami for my community tank then I remembered they can develop a disease that you can only get rid off from your tank through disinfection. That would be a pain especially since i usually have scaped tanks and would have...

From someone who just started a couple years ago, cause mainly I was only interested with crayfish and shrimps and kinda disliked fish, the thing that got me into it was betta fish. They like to interact with their owners which was opposite from some of the fish we've had before we're they'd...

Probably should've taken photos before I decided to clean it. So my question is what kind of algae is this and will it disappear by itself if I just keep brushing and syphoning it? It's kind of a new setup. I decided to reset and clean everything cause it got overrun by ramshorn and the tannins...

They're just in pots or cups cause I'm trying to get them to grow longer 1st. Had no problem with some of the pothos I did this with but a few did droop. I had one that drooped that was on the tank I tested with while the other pothos were perfectly fine and was continuing to grow. I'm have root...

Also something else. I'm guessing these holes on my plants were made by seed shrimp? I just noticed these earlier. A week ago they were fine. Any way to reduce their numbers other than removing them manually? There's a bunch of them sticking on the driftwoods.

It was 20 last time but the plants aren't in tanks. They're just in containers cause I'm trying to get them to grow longer 1st. Those are the two plants. The yellowish one is easy to fix and normally I can salvage them. The other drooping one is the problem. It's been like that for a month now...

I see, but my Pothos are directly in front of a window with strong lighting. But it's almost exactly the same issue I'm having. Suddenly it droops but it doesn't discolor, just very slowly shrivel while still retaining it's green color. Thanks for the info btw cause now I think I can tell that...

I think I'm finally improving with some plants. Root tabs plus dirt bottom layer helps a lot. I might try again and get some water sprite. I wanna put some thick green plants in the back but still not confident they will survive with minimal lighting. With the herbs I made a cover with holes in...

Oh cool, 1st time I've seen these. I think they'd be too big for my shrimp tank tho but I have a couple of bronze Cory in my community tank and they seem to get along ok with shrimp. Except for when it's feeding time.

Ahh I see. No it didn't have any roots, the guy just harvested it so I'm guessing he gave me the upper part of the plants. If I get some again I'll try putting them in those plastic aquarium pots. I'm guessing it was lack of nutrients cause I tried floating one and it grew roots on it's stems...

Thanks I'll read that a little later. The water sprite took a while to slowly melt. Maybe a couple months. Some said it might've been grown emersed. The guy I bought it from grows them all in containers in his backyard. I used soil mixed with pumice stone as the base layer. It was great and...

They eat mosquitoes? Woah never seen that before but thanks for the info. Idk where all the mosquitoes are coming from in our area, I think one of our neighbors was stocking water and breeding them or something. When I go to the garage at night I bump into them cause they're that many now. It's...

I use spotted rasboras for one of my shrimp cube tanks. There's 6 of them. Works great, haven't had any mosquitoes but I'm not sure if they really do eat them cause I tried giving them some a bit bigger ones that I took out of my crayfish tank and they just ignored it. Eventually my endler got...

10 is the minimum? Hmm I think they'll feel crowded in a 10in cube so gonna have to find a different fish. Thing is I need a fish in there with the shrimp so it doesn't get mosquitoes. Also I heard someone say if there's too many fish with them, you won't be able to get the best out of your...
