Oh, does about 10-15 snails seem alot? most of them are big, about 1-2 cm long, since i've kept them for a while now. I also have a small number of ramshorns

I think mine is also a swellia lineolata. Thanks for the info! Really helped alot

What about Hillstream loaches? I don't usually see him eat, only sticking onto the glass or on the branch

Yeah, that's what i'm worried about, and it isn't like i can just ask them if they are full or not 😅. They do eventually slow down, but they still dart in and out to eat.

Thanks for the advice! It eases me that i can feed them a little less and not having to worry about underfeeding. And no, i don't want a pop boom of bladder snails 😂, only the bare minimum of them

How do i know if everyone in ny tank is fed without over feeding? I have zebra danios, ghost shrimps, some bladder snails and a hillstream loach. I feed sinking micro pallets, and i feed the shrimps and snails the fish's leftovers, ie. the sunken micropallets. But sometimes the fish keeps on...

It does! It looks pretty similar as well from what i can see on google images

I'm not sure if the diving beetles i'm keeping are juveniles or a completely different species, since they look more like food for fry than fry eaters. But i will keep it in mind and not let any near my fish tanks.

Makes sense. I first thought it'd be better for the shrimps and plants, but it'd be safer to just remove it after hearing all the advice. Thanks for the confirmation!

I never really try to breed them since i don't have many tanks nor places for them to live. Even if they do have fry, i just let them be eaten

I hope so, they are pretty cute, and reproduce pretty rapidly. I kinda want to introduce some into my fish tank but will probably be gobbled up by the fishes 😂

I seriously hope nobody have to live through such a nightmare. After learnibg that, i am definetely gonna keep mulm to a minimum. Thanks for the info!

I have ghost shrimps, zebra danios and a hillstream loach. plus some bladder snails. If it's like that then i should keep mulm to a minimum. Thanks!

That's what i was worried about. My local libraries aren't that big, and i'm not sure where to find sources online about aquatic invertebrates 😅 They do look pretty similar to the google images, so Thanks!

I made a small pond in a basin to store unwanted plant snippings, like hornwort since i'm scared they'll spread like crazy if i haphazardly dump it. Then i discovered these tiny water beetles. Most of the water beetles i found online were big and didnt match the discription. They are so small, i...
