Ok. While I'm working to get the GH up, should I add the calcium to the tank? The snails don't look too good to me... It's the "Kent Marine Liquid Calcium" supplement - its the only one I can find.

Ok, thank you.

Ok, thank you. With all that being said, should I add the calcium in order to help the snails and guppies? GH is related to calcium right?

Yes ppm. The store I bought the guppies from keeps them in a lower pH tank, and they've been doing great. I am not adding any more livebearers to the tank though - probably just some tetras and cories. I just want to make sure that adding calcium won't harm the fish.

The GH is around 80. Sometimes it reads as 75. My tap water is very acidic..

Hi all, I have an understocked 20-gallon tank with 3 guppies, 1 honey gourami, and 3 mystery snails. My pH is pretty low (6.8-7.0) and I know that isn't ideal for the snails. I've noticed some cracking on 2 of the snail's shells (pictures attached) and found out that they need more calcium...

Thank you!!! I'll definitely look into that.

Thank you. I ended up losing another honey today, but I think I'm just going to leave it with my two honeys because they get along really well. I'll probably end up adding a bigger school of tetras since my stock is so low now.

Oh, 100%. Every electronic device you own is listening to you. That's why sometimes when you are having a conversation out loud about a product, 5 minutes later you get an add on your phone for said product. Same thing goes for internet searches- all of your data is stored away. I will say...

Thank you! They're so pretty. I just checked, and I'm pretty sure all of mine are female. I know my LFS separates guppies by gender, so there's a possibility I chose my gourami from an all female tank. That being said, would it be ok to add a fourth female?

All three of my honeys have a yellow body with red coloring on their fins. One is slightly smaller than the other two, but I'm not sure if that has something to do with maturity. My honeys look like the one on the left:
