I have no snails in my tank (none that I've added anyway) but I do have one or two live plants.   My phone went dead at the time and as I was waiting for a little charge, I lost the creature.

I've had a tropical 125l tank for around 3 months. I have around 20 fish (Mollies/Platys/Bristlenose Plec/Neons) inside. Average temp is around 26 degrees. Around 2 weeks ago, I treated the tank for white spot.   So I got in and turned the light of the fish tank on, there was a small thin...

I'm looking to get some rocks from the beach tomorrow. I plan to add them into my tropical fish tank. Once I get them home, I will be boiling them for 24 hours or so. Is it safe to add these rocks? It's mainly to add hiding places for my fishes/bristlenose plec. Pet shops charge like £10 for a...

  I don't have another tank, only a breeding net which goes into my main tank.

We do have a very small breeding setup ready (Breeding net) although don't want to move the fish to it as we've read it can easily stress the fish out. I did some reading online about this somewhat "bloated" stomach, one person said it's a type of parasite.   People say to look for abnormal...

Hello,   Around 2 weeks ago, we saw a very very small fish swimming around the tank. It swam and hid behind the filter, when we went to capture it shortly after it had gone. We think one of the fish had offspring. At the time a molly   This tank has been setup for around 2-3 months. It contains...
