Re: Can Snails die because of strong current?

I give up. I tried it again, but now with water from another tap. Dechlorinated it, and filtered it over carbon a few days prior to putting the new snails in. I put in 8 baby snails. Two of them moved shortly after putting them in, so I definitaly know they survived the trip. They haven't moved sinc...

Re: Can Snails die because of strong current?

I fear I solved the riddle. I took water from the upstairs bathroom, wich was remodeled 1 year ago. It has a little bit of new copper piping. It can't more than 3 feet. (I'm not sure, because I re-used the old piping aswell, it might be only 1ft. at best) Googling snails alnight yesterday, I found o...

Re: Can Snails die because of strong current?

Hey thanks for your answer. No, there was no fertilizer in the pot. Just gravel. Yes I did read that and other articles. The only thing I see that is clearly different is that I don't have a sponge filter that bubbles, but the standard powerhead/sponge filter. That's why I suspect the current. Does ...

Can Snails die because of strong current?

I've set up a small (20L) tank, this has an inside filter, and a heater set to 25 Degrees Celsius. It was cycled, but before they arrived a cleaned it out, completly, and put in fresh water. It's basically a bare tank, but I put in a small pot with gravel, Cabomba and another plant. I ordered 20 sma...

Re: Dwarf Puffer v. Ghost shrimp

I saw mine eat a cherry shrimp today. I just to have 10. He was the last one, he lasted for about a year, and never was afraid of the DP's. Amano's can roam freely, although i'm not sure I still have all of them. Small ones get looked up on, but i never saw one attack. I would say they can co-exist ...

Re: White Spot/Flake on DP

Thanks, that's a relief actually. Last night it was almost gone already, you can still see it. But it's as if only under certain lighting? He's been bathing in esha2000 for about an hour last night. Today it's difficult to see. Se I'll let him roam free today. When i got them they where incredibly t...

White Spot/Flake on DP

Hi People, I currently hold 3 DP's (2 Male 1 Female) in a 40L tank. (With c.a. 10 Amano Shrimp) They have lived there peacefully for almost 3 years now. A few months ago tensions have gotten higher, but everything is quite calm the last couple of weeks. I'm currently cycling a 200L tank for them to ...
