I was on vacation and came back to roots going crazy is this normal?

Hey everyone! This is in my 50 gallon Freshwater Tank. Temperature stays at 78 degrees Fahrenheit. I noticed these egg looking things a few minutes ago, but not sure what they would be from? In person they also look empty. I have 2 Giant Ramshorn Snails, 2 Mystery Snails, and some Corydoras. Any idea who these could be from? TIA!

So for context this isn't my aquarium this is my fiancé but hes at basic training so me and his brother has been taking turns to take care of it.

I am only able to come Sundays at the moment.

But his brother has some mental problems I've been told. And I keep telling him not to add anything besides food into the aquariums but he adds milk? And loves to put TOOO MUCH PRIME like talking at least a tablespoon of prime for every 2 gallons and i just want to keep theses fishes alive and dont know what to do. I locked his door and his brother broke it down. His brother also loves to take the fish out the water with his hands and throw them into a different tank with completely differnt temps, hardness and everything.

I have had 4 fishes die already. (Could be just coincidence IDK ANYMORE and of course it was my fiancé favorites)

He also has a sweet potato plant growing and my fiancé wants it off to the right side, where the dog it but his brother keeps putting it into the water so it can get light, and drowning the plant. I open the windows for sunlight but his brother of course closes it.

Basically what I asking is what's a good way I can get this sweet potato to look good and keep theses fishes alive till October...

Aquarium info:

29 gallon (I think)

Has roughly the following fish:

12 or more Ember Tetris

6 or less neno tetris

4 otocinclus

8 corydora

1 dwarf Mexican crayfish

Chili rasbora

3 koi loaches

1 sliver hatched

2 amaon shrip

And a bunch of colored shrimp

A few nitrates snails and trumpet? ( Cones) and blader snails

There's a filter and a heater and thus aquarium has been up for roughly a year now give or take

The reason why it's so mixed up is because we had a huge outbreak of deaths right before my fiancé left and wasn't able to fix it in time so.. that's why there's like odd numbers and probably a hudge mix of things(im stilling learning I don't know much) Overall I just want to keep these guys alive till October and make them a little bit happier till he comes back

PLEASE GIVE AS MUCH CRITICISM AS POSSIBLE I NEED HELPPPP

And ask any questions i will try my best to answer

This tetra was getting pretty fat and really seemed like it was egg bound a week or so ago and now is looking like this. Do I need to freak out? If so, how do I treat it?

One week into my tank cycle, my ammonia has dropped from almost 3 ppm on Wednesday to somewhere between 0 and 0.25 ppm. During that same time, my nitrites have increased from about 0.75 ppm to 2 ppm. I haven't added any more fish pellets since last Sunday, although I did add some fertilizer on Wednesday.

Should I just let everything continue as it is, or is there something I should be doing at this point?

…..and he literally loves it 😂😂😂😂😂 I’m cackling

I want to start a saltwater tank in a 40g breeder based around a watchman goby/tiger shrimp pairing. Chatgbt has said this would be a good stocking list. This true? And any advice?

Does anyone know what this is?? I just noticed it when checking on my girl kinda freaking out atm

New aquarium with shrimp and tetras. I also got some snails I didn't bargain for with my plants. Is this eggs? Or what?

I made the bubbler ornament it's ok if you think he is ugly he is aware. The 3d printed lower level I bought I want a bigger one!

Hi guys, as the title says this is my first time setup.

Here are the details:

- 1 3 spot gourami
- 7 neon tetra
- 2 Cory cat
- 1 mollie (died)
- 1 angelfish (died)
- after they died I did a water change and treatment and water is good now made an over feeding mistake and had high ammonia.

- 2 foam filter things on each side
- 1 back of tank filter for 50 gallon tank
- 50 gallon tank
- heater set to 76f

Anything else I’m missing ?

Do you see anything set up wrong?

I have an extra pipe in the bottom middle just to make more bubbles and keep the water moving.

Any recommendations?

I use bug bites flakes.

When should I do routine water change for this setup? I have been aiming for once a month.

What % water change?

What can I add in here to make the tank better?

What new fish should I add? I plan to add more.

Should I add snail or shrimp?

I have 4 total but these two are going crazy!

Just got him for free off Nextdoor. This is a TEMPORARY tank I had fully cycled, while I get them a bigger set up. I accumulated them but the ammonia way really high in the water I got them. Do goldfish rest? Is he just tired from the transition and having clear tank rather than a bucket?

Found this in my aquarium. Slug like. Slow moving. Rolled into a ball when I picked it up with tweezers.

He was sticky on the glass.
