That sounds like a pretty neat idea. Is this an enclosed area or does it just have a roof over it? Where are you located--temperature can make a difference if...
Hi, I have a 55gl tank and seem to have parasites that no one knows what they are and nothing is taking care of them, seen pics of parasites but none match....
Hi All, I am really confused now. I found a store that will take the clown loach that I got for the snails. I went to get some kuhli loaches from them in the...
Well my name is Anna and I have been a fishoholic for four years. I thought it would be nice to chat with some fellow fish-lovers and discuss issues, like...
Hi Traci, If you have Malaysian Trumpet snails then she is correct. Their shells are thick and hard to break. Some aquarists choose to keep them. I am not one...
I've been lurking for quite some time and decided to come out of lurk mode to ask a few questions about the surface dwelling African Butterfly Fish. I have 4,...
A parasite would be found living on a fish or other organism. What you are describing sounds like they are not parasites, but some sort of worm. From your...
Hi Traci, While I don't know what kind of snails you have, I don't believe that while Kuhli ("Coolie") Loaches are in the same Family as Clown Loaches, that...
Speaking of snails, I live in central Texas. Home of the Snail, the Cockroach, the Junebug, and 30 foot tall poison ivy trees. I left one of my fish tank...
Any chance of taking electronic snapshots of these beasties and posting them? Lotsa wormlike thingies - including a bacteria. What are these wormlike things...
Kuhli's won't bother the snails at all. The bigger guys might. I use my Kuhli tank to breed snails for the loaches to eat as a snack. Somehow, they got in...
I definitely wouldn't advise overstocking the tank. Most 29G's are tall tanks based on a 20G footprint so they have the same surface area as the smaller 20G...
Busymom, You mention "black goldfish turning gray" but you first said they were simple feeder goldfish. Usually, feeder goldfish are simple gold common ...
If they are not attaching to your fish and only come out at night, they are probably planaria or some other type of worm that thrives in the substrate when...
Look online at photos of MTS - Malaysian Trumpet Snails. If you have MTS, then they have very hard shells but loaches usually suck the snails out of the shell...
Ok, I am pretty sure that these are the MTS snails. That's the kind they had at the LFS also. Maybe the clown will take care of some small ones. I'll just...

Traci, A friend of mine lost a tank full of fish from these snails. They got into the impeller when he was out of town for a day or two. When he came back all ...
Remember that snails and other critters are also bell weathers of things happening in your tank. They are opportunistic breeders and usually only populate or...

Doing bi-weekly filter maintenance will keep the snails from breaking a filter system also. It will also improve your water quality since filter systems that...
Question. Just from curiosity. How would planaria get into your fish tank? I know you could pick them up from a plant or rock or piece of driftwood, or...
I'm not sure how they get into tanks in the first place but I would suspect that maybe flying insects might carry the planaria eggs from one source to another....
As Lenny said they can be a "danger" indicator. All my tanks are heavily planted. My snails come to the top at "lights out" If there at the top during the day...
