Yes you're exactly right Kevin.

Depending on the stocking, one would be best. But as Goes to 11! said that depends on which dwarf species you're talking about.

yeah he said they were a sample, but he nearly sent me 50 plants. That's a bit more than a sample XD And I know!! I'm so glad to have found them, hopefully they grow well in my tank and become food...

I know!! I'm so excited. This seller not only sent me more tan 3 times the amount of frogbit, he sent me over 3 dozen red root floaters, and a bunch of aquatic organisms that will become food for my...

Well along with the planaria(Which I mostly killed off by cleaning out the breeder box I keep my frogbit in) I have just discovered thousands of tiny daphnia swimming around in the breeder box!! They...

Haha your water sprite still looks huge compared to mine. But thanks to ferts and your help Kevin both my adult plants have 10 or more stems and send a new one out every day!! They're doing great and...

Contacted the seller of the frogbit and he confirmed he had planaria in his tanks. I'll still take a sample in on wednesday and examine them more thoroughly.

Alright well thank you everyone, I'll watch they're development and when I go into my forensics class on wednesday I'll take a few in and get some pictures of them under a microscope.

Here are the pests with them circled in red.

Alright, I got some good photos and editted them to show the pests. I emailed me them, I should have them in a little while, and I'll upload them here when they arrive.

Yes but even tinier. These are pin-head sized. They're completely white and have no real characteristics other than being tiny, almost microscopic, white, moving lines. I take a forensics class at...

Are you sure that's okay? Don't some pests need to be eaten to continue their life cycle? I'm sorry i'm being so bothersome but I've never had other organisms in my tanks like this and its freaking...

Thank you, they also seem to fit the description for nematodes. Do you guys have any recommendations on how I should treat the tank? I don't mind using medications, as long as the meds won't harm my...

Seems to small. Planaria also has a triangle shaped head. This are just like tiny white lines. I will try to get photos, but as I said, they're incredibly hard to see alone.

Yes, baby snails do indeed have shells plus these are too small to be snails.

They're worm like. They look exactly like tiny, pin point sized, white caterpillars. They're not hydras as the don't have the tentacles, and they're not trumpet snails as they don't have shells.

So last week I received my Frogbit from a seller on aquabid. They're currently in my apisto tank inside of a floating breeder box. Just now I noticed smaller white, pen-point sized organisms that...

My tank is a low maintenance tank with Red Root Floaters(Which aren't doing well for some reason), Water Sprite, and Cryptocorynes. For my tank I have a single 15 watt 18,000K Aqua-glo bulb. I also...

Haha well hopefully they arrive soon after being shipped. I just ordered 3 Otos from them and mine are scheduled to ship next tuesday as well!!

Well crypts seem to be doing well, and the water sprite is sending out several new stems. I'm still having an algae issue so I went ahead and ordered a 3 pack of Otos from gunpowder aquatics....

Hmm what if they do need males and females to breed but females can store sperm for long periods of time much like mollies and platies? That'd make sense right? Congrats on the baby!! Glad to hear...

Thanks so much. I'll check them out and see if my dad will order them :D

I can't really go with shrimp as I have a strong feeling my apistos would bully them and kill them. Maybe I could go with otos. Do you know of any really good places to order them online? I know of a...

The algae is seen mostly below the gravel line, on the walls of the tanks and the plants. What algae eating species could even work in a 10 gallon? The only thing that comes to my mind are otos and...

As many of you are now aware I've been working on my 10 gallon apisto tank for the past few months. Both my female and male are doing well and seem to have stopped fighting, even occasionally showing...
