Well, looks like it’s bad. Now I have some ugly colored shrimp like red and blue mixed or odd colors not in the tank at all like a brown color

I think that is a good survey to test the land and place they live to make sure we don’t take or kill a species in their natural environment

Most of those are freshwater but some are saltwater like starfish right?

I think some eat lettuce or other veggies!

Mine would be how can you control colors of fish with food?

Quote from Avery

Many people have had luck in just dropping them into the tank and watching to make sure that they do not rot. Others have had luck treating them as a seed and putting them into the fridge, before putting them into the tank and trying to bury them in the substrate to act as if they were above water in a sense.

Thank you I am going to give it a shot!

What fish is this? It’s freshwater but no clue as they look like puffers but able to actually swim faster.

What is the ideal size of gravel vac to use? I know they say on the package but I feel like the bigger suction cup area would allow for more suction and better cleaning, right?

Has anyone tried these and what did the plants end up looking like? Any special care outside of just dropping them into the water and waiting?

Can you have more than one turtle in the same tank? How can you tell if it’s female or male easily as I don’t want eggs.

What is the difference between these and do the preset ones actually turn off when they reach the given temperature or do they just stay on and run at a lower power mode setting?

Why do many avoid mixing shrimp species with other ones? Is crossing them bad, or is it to keep their specific coloration?

Can you put a turtle on a tank full of cichlids? Any issues doing so?

Time to win let’s go!!!

Is it needed to have a skimmer in smaller tanks like below 40 gallons? Does it really help that much for small tanks or is it really only helpful for the larger tanks due to all of the xtra bioload and protein waste created?

How do you all make it so much easier to do water changes than dragging buckets around or making a mess dumping them out into your backyard or in a tub?

I’m looking to buy a tank from someone who has had their setup in a garage running with nothing in it for a year or so, which has made the sand look awful. Would there be a problem if I use new sand or do I need to use the old sand?

Thanks in advanced!

I didn’t wash them, and thanks for the answer!

I just got done setting up a new tank, and once I turned on the filters the water became immediately cloudy. Like white cloudy water. How can I fix this?

At what age can I sell my fry and ship them to other states without them dying?
