It does wipe off, it’s just very hard to do so with it being on the substrate and on the plants

This white stuff showed up the other day, I think it was maybe the day after a water change? Does anyone know what it is or how to get rid of it? I first noticed it on the plants (none of the plants are new) and now it seems to be on the substrate too. My tank currently has 3 old guppies (I...

Hey! I’ve got a heavily planted 15 gallon tank which currently has 4 guppies, 3 amano shrimp and two snails. What else should I put in there? I’ve been looking at small schooling fish like chilli rasboras and maybe a female Betta? Any ideas?

Hmm ok might give the cherries a miss then. I don’t really want to add to the bioload too much but I wouldn’t just get one if they’d be unhappy

Hello 👋 I have amano shrimp in my guppy tank. I originally chose them over other shrimp species because they will not be able to successfully breed and I don’t want to be overrun with shrimp. Cherry shrimp are obviously much more striking. I have read that they prefer to be in groups but does...

Thanks, I’ll keep an eye on him, he’s my first fish so I just don’t really know what I’m doing but I want him to be happy

It’s 25L, it was cycled before I put the fish in, I tested the water the other day when I changed the plants and there was no ammonia or nitrates/nitrites, pH was neutral. The only thing I was worried about was if the water was too hard. Aside from the plants the Betta is the only thing in there

Hey I’m Caroline and I’m completely new to owning fish. I have one Betta and a few plants

I’ve had my Betta about a month now and today I spotted this white/grey stuff on his tail. Is this a sign of disease? Or has he just got something stuck on there? His behaviour has not changed, he is still swimming around, eating and coming to the front of his tank to be sociable. He has a...
