I have used a somewhat radical way of getting rid of this.   First I have cleaned the tank as well as I could. After this I added some NO3 in order to help solve the problem. Beside that did I just some anti blue algea stuff (In my case blue exit). The same day, I had done a complete blackout...

Looks also rather similar to a Danio nigrofasciatus. However, I have never heard of long finned fish of this species.   So the suggestion of a leopard danio or zebra danio or a mix of them, could also be right.

  If the diagnosis of the first post is right, then I would totally agree. These diseases only occur if the fish are not kept very well. Even though test strips are known te be very inaccurate, I cannot imagine that they would be off with 150. So i would consider adding more plants, especially...

As the algae look very "hairy", they will not be diatoms. However, i still think your light might be an issue in combination with the fact that the tank was just set up. I guess, reduce the level of light a bit and remove as much algae as possible.     it is shown by researches that catappa...

  Looking at the statistics of the world bank the inflation actually dropped tremendously the years before entering the EU. While before the year 2000, an inflation rate of 10% could be considered low. Before the year 1995, it had an inflation rate that often exceeded the 30% and and inflation...

As a non-UK European I have to say that there are some good points made. The EU was not such a bad idea at first, which where especially about trade. For example was the common currency actually not that bad at all (could've been better when better executed though). The whole Idea of free travel...

It might sound like a good idea to come up with a more precise formula for beginners. This will make it easier for them to establish their new tanks properly.   However, I have to note that as rainbowbacon said before, formulas will never be better than your intuition and experience. As every...

Well, that is a terrible story. It's never fun to have a dead fish but this? This is like a horror story.   At first, take a deep breath and don't panic. Before I will try to help you figuring out what is affecting your fish I need to ask some questions.  Can you give the exact water parameters...

To me they do look like hydra. They are multiplying though. If they multiply they can grow new baby hydras on their own body which will detach eventually.

Steamed or cooked for 2 minutes is fine. Otherwhise they will be too hard. Spirulina in plec wafers is fine as well.   Both have a chemical called carotene. This can enhance the color of some animals. Besides shrimp can it also be useful for other animals. Flamingos for example, they need it for...

That food isn't ideal for shrimp. You might want to add some vegetables sometimes. This will be better than only carnivorous foods.   There are certain foods that can enhance the color of your shrimp. Examples of those are spirulina and carrot.

Indeed hydra, really annoying creatures.   Be careful when removing them because they can regrow from broken body parts. This means that if you didn't remove him entirely he can regrow. It can even be the case that you help them spread through the tank when they are torn in pieces. Best it to...

This happens more often and it is not always clear what the reason for this is.   A part of it might be genetics. The wild form is namely pale with just a little bit of yellow, blue or red. So the cherry shrimp you've got are just bred that way. However, sometimes in less pure breeding groups...

10 days isn't that bad actually. In the dry season, a lot of aquarium fish species won't eat as much as would happen under normal circumstances. When looking at aquariums we can see that too little food doesn't occur very often either. Overfeeding happens more often. If you want to do this...

I totally agree with Byron. As he mentioned they need to be kept with minimal 8 fish. In my opinion, is this still very little. It should be seen as an absolute minimum. So more is better.   To add to that, Pseudomugil species do not have a very long life span. So they will die very quickly of...
