Yep!  Good thing all my fish are some place safe until I can clean this tank out on Sunday and with some vinegar to disinfect the tank and make sure all those suckers are dead.   Now, I know what to expect next time.  Good thing I don't have a heavily planted tank as yet.

Here is a picture.   I have already done my research and I know they are leaches, they just haven't developed yet, and I also have eggs in the tank. I have a few leaches, they came from the snail, they are also known to come with new plants and ornaments.  But I know for a fact the snails is the...

I have never seen this before, so this is my first time dealing with this.   I knew my gravel was in bad condition because I hadn't vacuum cleaned yet, as I was having problems with water clarity and I didn't want to vacuum up my Cory Julii baby fish, so I waited.  My tank started getting this...

  I realized after, that there are more then one Seachem on the market.  I am not sure, as I have already threw it out.  I had that bottle for property over 2 years now, I have never really used it on a daily basis until I started using it a week ago.   I do not have the best lighting, (but they...

So maybe I was adding to much of the Seachem?  I thought that with 3 plants it would take as much as a 40 gallon would take, but maybe with only 3 plants I was giving a bit to much, and probably also why the aquarium water become green as well so I had to get that cleared for the sake of my fish...

I have a Hornwort plant and Italian Val.  My lighting I have to admit is not the best at all, but it's on about 12 hours a day.   I know I need better lighting, so maybe that's the problem.

Well, I have been adding Seachem to the aquarium, but still died.  

Hi guys,   Just wanted to know if anyone can tell me why are all my plants are dying?     The only plant I have been able to keep alive in my aquarium is the Amazon sward which I got from the pet store.  All other plants I have bought, has perished.  I need these plants to keep my fish and snail...

  So, remember when I said I hope that there was only one leach? Ha, I spoke to soon.   I was adding a cuddle bone pieces to my aquarium and in getting one of the snails to go on the cuddle bone, I notice a small speck of brown thing on the snails shell, so i pulled it away and sure enough, it...

Thank you guys!  I really hope there was only one leach, which I was able to retrieve with luck, but just in case I will keep a close eye on my snails.

Hi,   Is anyone familiar with worms in snails?  I just extracted a worm by mistake from one of my snails.  All I did was hold a spinach leaf to one of my snails and onto the spinach leaf a worm came and I immediately took it out of the water.   Is there anything or something I can give my snails...

I bought, 3 different types of plants, and have bought these before only to have died later.   Hornwort, Baby tears and Italian Spirals.  The only one that is a first for me is the last one mentioned instead I had bought Jungle Val.  But all of my plants seam to die.  The only one that have not...

Hi Steven,   Thanks so much for your reply.     I actually got these plants about a month ago, and my water remained clear until this past week when it started turning mucky then greenish, out of no where.  Could the fertilizer in the plant just now letting it out into my aquarium water?     I...

Hi everyone,   So I have a small problem or maybe a problem that is causing my fish to get sick.   I recently added a few plants to my aquarium, and the water will not stay clear, it's mucky and then it will turn kinda of green.  I have had one Julii Cory die already, and another is sick with...
