I have a 6.6 gallon tank. It has been running for 14 months now. I have 6 male endler guppies and 5 Neocarodina shrimp, and some mesa ramshorn snails. Does this feel or look cramped or is it overstocked? Could you give some suggestion or recommendations anything helps. I am also planning on filling the middle empty space with water sprite.
My water parameters after a week:
Ammonia: 0
Nitrite: 0
Nitrate: 5
Ph: 7.4-7.6
Thanks in advance.
I have a 6.6 gallon tank maybe it’s heavily planted idk. It has been running for 14 months now and it has 6 male endlers, 5 neocaridina shrimp (with one berried shrimp), and some mesa ramshorn (pest snails). I hope it’s not overstocked. But could you kindly help me identify whether I have the pure kind of endlers or the hybrids.
Thanks in advance
So where I live, specifically Dubai the temps can get as hot as 40C and sometimes more if it is at the very peak summer. And during winter it gets to about indoor temp, like minimum 15c or so. I would like to know whether I could house a tortoise in my balcony, obviously I will create the enclosure and have proper flooring as the tiles can heat up. Also my balcony faces the west side and gets hit with sunlight during the evening until sunset. Kindly let me know if this is enough UV or light for the tortoise? And how should I design his enclosure to ensure that he stays cold in summer and warm in winter? Any tips? And what breed would be suitable?
Thank you all in advance
Hello. So I am a first time shrimp keeper. And I have had 4 blue dream Neo shrimps. Plus got 4 free baby shrimps, that are all juveniles. Since last week two of my 2 adult shrimps went missing but I did see two molts so they do hide but only for two days. And it has been about a week or more and they are nowhere to be seen. Then this week I only saw two shrimps, and now only 1. All the juveniles are out and exploring 24/7 and eating everything. I have a betta with them and snails. But I doubt my betta ate them because he ignores them and they are two fast for them. Plus if he was to choose to eat something, wouldn’t the juveniles be more attractive? Please kindly help me out. Thank you in advance. Also my tank is cycled, running for a year. I have had the shrimps go about 3-4 months or maybe less. My temp is at 26c and it is a live planted tank.
Hello, by chance I got a hitchhiker ramshorn snail and after asking you guys, I found out that it is the uncommon mesa ramshorn snail (planarbella scalaris) as of now I only have had two for about a month (atleast the two I see out and about) but I am worried about them overpopulating or exploding in my tank which i obviously don’t want. They hitchhiked into my betta/shrimp tank. And just today I saw one clutch of eggs on the glass. I feed my betta everyday 4 pellets 2x a day which he finishes immediately. And I feed my shrimps algae wafers twice a week which I remove after a few hours. Kindly help me on their breeding behavior and how I can prevent it or should I remove them all together? I have heard they are slow breeders but I want a guide on them as there is not much info about them.
Thank you in advance.
This little guy had hitchhiked about two weeks ago. And I apologize for the blurry picture as this is the only time I saw him and never again. Kindly guide me on what type of snail he is.
