Thanks firefly. So far no more losses today so fingers crossed the problems sorted.

I only have the one tank otherwise I'd use your method firefly.

I've removed the plant but I've still lost another two shrimp. I keep doing water changes but I'm not sure if they've all been...

The trouble is the LFS never have warnings up in the store so you dont know whos using pesticides and who isnt.

The most annoying thing is a bought inverts from them at the same time as I bought...

I think its something they use to kill pest snails as they never seem to have any in with there plants and theres never a drop of algae either. I always just thought they kept it really clean but now...

I bought a new plant for my tank a week ago and I've been losing inverts ever since.

At first it was a few snails but now I'm losing my shrimp too! My crystal was the first to go and I assumed my...

I keep otocinclus in the same tank so I leave the algae to grow pretty much wild. I give the front of the tank a wipe down every now and then but the other walls are very green as are the ornament. I...

Hahaha I think I'd be pretty popular aroun here if I did.

I bought two dwarf red ramshorn snails last month (I've been looking for them for ages so was really plesed I finally found some).

They were fine at first and were gobbling up algae all over the...

I'd have to do it the hard way as I've got spiral horned snails in their too and I don't think they'd stand a chance against an assassin as they're painfully slow.

Wow 0 nitrates! I think I need more plants =-)

Thanks talldutchie.

I hope its the second one. I have only got 20 fish in a33 gallon/120litre tank and I picked them all based on hardiness and low bioload. My amazon sword is huge too so maybe I'm actually doing...

Thanks talldutchie thats really reassuring.

I thought the lower nitrates were the better? I have plants in my tank but I also have shrimp so I try to keep my nitrates low. Am I doing too good a...

Hi guys,
Yesterday I had two MTS hitchhike into my tank (thanks to everyone on here who helped me identify them).

I did some reading and found out loads about them but now they've got me...

Thanks guys. I'm going to put them straight in the tank 😄.

I was referring to the snails but I've got some of the plant in my tank too and I had no idea what it was so thanks for the ID.

So are these MTS? If they are I want to keep them but some of you...

Can anyone please identify these?

Thanks limming I'll get googling.

Thanks for replying. The bleach baths a good idea but I was hoping if they ate snails it would be a good source of free live food.

Do marbled or silver hatchet fish eat bladder snails?

Someone on hear suggested them for my tank and I love the idea but I want to add some more cover at the top of the tank for them as I've read...

Thanks for all the suggestions guys thumbs2: .
I'll research them all online then have a look round my LFS and see which I can get.

I need anyone's suggestion for a small peaceful community fish.

I have otocinclus, white cloud minnows (various types), pygmy corys and red cherry shrimp in the tank at the minute and would like...

Just thought I'd share with you all a great treatment I've found.

It's called Panacur and it's a dog wormer but I'd read online some people were treating various fish problems with it and having...

Thanks for the advice guys.

I'll hope the numbers stay low enough and give my LFS a call just incase they do get too many.

I bought 3 red cherry shrimp a while ago and one was pregnant so I ended up with about 20.

As soon as they were big enough to sex I seperated the males and put them in a seperate tank.

The...
