    Do I cycle a tank with the plants in it? I thought that the question is too small to be made into a thread.

    You can do a silent cycle. You add the plants and once they show noticeable growth, its safe to add some fish.

    Planted/silent cycling

    So ya got yourself a fish tank, and now you're wondering how to cycle it. You have a few options: 1) Fishless cycle: Set up your substrate and filter (decorations and plants are optional), buy pure ammonia, add enough to your tank to read 3ppm, wait. Full instructions here...

    Well my oldest Snail died today so I'm back to tell that
    Nothing else with the tank apart from the fact most my "new plants" died and anubias is growing really quickly.

    Sorry for your loss. I know how much you loved your snails :(
    And that's sad to hear about the plants but luckily your anubias is growing well it sounds like!

    Please, if you have any questions on Nerite Snails, please tag me or comment on this message.
    I may or may not be able to answer some questions about Assasin Snails.
    Any questions about pest snails, I might be able to answer them. Especially on how to get rid of the smaller ones.

    Hi @StripySnailGirl04! Do you know if there is a surefire way to rid of nerite snail eggs? I want to know if there is before I decide on getting any... I heard that they leave marks and can be a nuisance.

    I've never attempted to remove any nerite eggs on my tank because I might end up damaging the glass. Eggs won't affect the tank in a negative way and personally, I've gotten used to the sight of the eggs. Maybe if it's on the glass, you could scratch it off with a sharp blade but that's only a suggestion.

    Ok. So it's basically just one if the cons that come with nerites I suppose... Thank you!

    I have a question about guppies... Don't worry if you don't know, but if I set up a tank with 2 females and one male, would I be completely overrun with fry? Thanks!

    It is a good ratio if you are planning to breed but expect lots of fry. I has the same ratio and had tens of fry a few months later.
