Thank you!

That’s not planaria. Possibly daphnia, seed shrimp, or little tiny snails. But most likely seed shrimp which is usually a sign of a nice clean tank :)

Thank you... The aquarium only has one betta fish and one nerite snail. How can I get rid of them or should I?

@cindywood2089 the betta will pick them off as it sees them

It’s an Amazon sword that didn’t even get to convert yet before they laid eggs

That’s neat. You should see them in the wild. Thousands and thousands swim together

@@AquatikGuru yes .. ofcourse 😅

That’s personally why I love having a ton of them. They school up and it looks cool

Yes the more the merrier

@@AquatikGuru also my ph is 8.5 will they all die

@txhamma most likely. You want a lower ph for sure

Personally cannot vouch for that as I never encountered curiosity if any of those survived in my tanks. May be a good question to email to them

You’re welcome

I’m not sure I no longer have one to know for sure. I would recommend emailing them

I would recommend getting aquatic soil. Grass does not grow well at all in rock.

That’s weird…mine never jumped, never needed a heater, I rinsed the filter in another tanks water from a water change fyi, but you know, I’m used to know it alls coming on here and putting regulations on everything everyone does. Thanks for the advice, but if you don’t have anything positive to say, this is not the channel you want to reply to.

If you knew my channel, which you clearly don’t, you’d know that I tested theory’s as part of my scheme. And proved almost all the social media aquariums harassers such as yourself that what you know and were taught is BS. Fish live in rivers, lakes, streams etc where dynamics change daily. Relax

Me personally I enjoyed making my own by boiling the leaves. I just don’t trust many things these days. The leaves I can easily verify what they are

I’m not sure to be exact. I would recommend emailing them

Fortunately I never had this problem with bug bites. Mine were directly linked to a plant supplier. Luckily I caught it before it caused issues. In my fish only tanks that I feed TONS of big bites I never found planaria.

What I actually do is I measure my tank water and equalize it at the hose. Hopefully 2-5 degrees cooler to enact a rain fall.

As far as conditioner I added it directly in the tank. Must have clipped that section out by accident

Yes due to a move unfortunately we had to stop all the aquariums. It was a sad day but I got to spread a ton of knowledge and I’m still here daily responding to people who ask any questions they may have. I didn’t want to stop. But the landlord changed the rules of the lease due to a few altercations with other residents on leaking and broken tanks that they removed them from eligibility.

Thank you 4 still being with us.❤️ Would love to see ur videos again someday like old times. I gained a lot of knowledge here. Pls Tak care. God bless

@aryangurung2343 I would love to come back! Unfortunately I don’t have the space indoors to feed the channel :( the only way I could get back on video is fixing cars currently

I never did add them back in that exact setup. I removed the shrimp. Quarantined them in a separate tank. Same with the snails. Quarantined the plants with planaria traps to catch any leftovers. Put most the plants in my platy tank so they’d just eat all the planaria. Removed losses as needed that were already infested with planaria. Cleaned entire tank. Replaced filters and everything else in there and re introduced all the survivors .

@@AquatikGuru Thank you for explaining your process!! According to the no-planaria packet, it is shrimp and plant safe, did you quarantine them just to be on the safe side or to avoid them experiencing an ammonia spike after the planaria died off?

@Midnightwolf1333 yea it was just to be safe cuz I had so many didn’t wanna total population crash cuz even tho they say it’s plant safe they wouldn’t have paid for all the shrimp losses

It should come off on its own. Keep an eye on it tho. If it’s still there a day later you could attempt to carefully remove it.

Glad I could help!!

What mesh screen?

Top front glass on the edge of the water, like a 2 inch mesh..?

@lamadrid oh that’s not mesh. The Fluval flex’s have a pattern painted on the top of the tank. I’m assuming for aesthetic purposes

@@AquatikGuru I see, i thought it had a particular function. Thanks for the replies ;)

@lamadrid you’re very welcome. It’s kinda ugly in my opinion lol but oh well

Yes I also used daphnia

This tank is a 55 gallon when full.

Absolutely!! The babies love to hide under them and eat them too

At the time. You gotta look at the date of videos lol.

I cannot promise it unfortunately. I had little to no losses that I could count. But there’s no telling with as many shrimp as I had at the time

Yes!

It will be almost gone or almost a foamy liquid consistency

You’ll also know when the bubbles stop

@@AquatikGuru thanks! Ordered it, i like how simple it is, i have a 112l tank with decent surface agitation, so i don't think that not being able to turn it off during the night will be an issue.

@MrTomro perfect! I ran mine 24/7 with zero issues. Just amazing growth

Gel super glue aka cyanoacrylate is non toxic once dry. Once you get it wet, it dries.

I did for a bit it didn’t work like I wanted. Too many rocks

With this kit yes. It is a 24/7 kit that cannot be shut off

Start video at 3:15 it’s literally right there

I had some a long long time ago. One of my first plants

With heavy planting and proper water changes you can accommodate various options

Awesome! Glad it worked. You must be talking about the metal wire I had. Glad you found a resolution! Way to be creative!

Absolutely not. The bleach will absorb into the rock and leach into the tank. Best way to clean rocks is simply with water and a scrub brush. Boiling rocks is also unnecessary. I use the garden hose or a pressure washer. Some aquarium stones like dragon stone I leave the dirt in the stone so I don’t clean those at all. I’ve learned that the most important part, is knowing where the rocks came from.

I wished for a million dollars 20 years ago. I’m still wishing lmao.

It came that way. I don’t trust taking off the trim lol. Makes me nervous if they aren’t built that way haha

You’re welcome!

You’re not trying to boil them for a long period of time. More like a flash boil just to kill any potentially harmful concerns with the leaves or wood such as bugs, pesticides, chemicals. It more so just takes out some risk factors for comfort that you aren’t gonna lose your fish. It doesn’t seem horrible but when you gotta rare fish or lots of fish it adds up quick and can be a devastating loss. Our goal isn’t to make a pretty tank. It’s to keep fish alive IN a pretty tank right? You can still use the tea leftover as well. Again, the boiling just kills and dilutes any possible threats from the botanicals.

​@@AquatikGurugotchu thanks for the info i recently added indian almond leaf to my tank from a brand called matchimaa to my betta tank i rinsed it pretty well before adding in know not as good as boiling for getting rid of an dangers. But its been almost 48 hours in the tank it has really even released any tannins idk how long that would take first time using them. Maybe next time ill just boil and ad some of the tea instead

@lif3l3ssgaming sometimes it takes days or weeks for the leaves to break down enough to create the tannins. Tannins are just rotting wood, leaves, and organic matter

I would recommend contacting him at his Etsy store and he may be able to make one or just not have them listed

For the most part yes. But I would recommend researching specific stones before using them as some stones contain “bad” minerals for fish

Yea dnr requires it in my area. But they’re still labeled as lead fishing sinkers even tho they’re far from lead.

After researching this brand they’re tungsten due to dnr regulation so 🤷 still don’t feel bad one bit.

It could be various things. I’d start with trying to get a very close picture and comparing on google. Just because you’d get the best side by side advice that way. Due to multiple possibilities this is the best way to look at this scenario

You just gotta divide the math down to your specific scenario and dose properly based on measurements

I personally don’t use carbon in my aquariums. I primarily use sponge filtration and water changes to keep the tank clear

I always leave the gravel in. I gravel vac it with a mini syphon so it doesn’t suck up grass

Fortunately I only kept nerites and pest snails in my co2 tanks and didn’t have issues with them flourishing. So I firmly believe the co2 wasn’t near as potent as a direct co2 injection system.

@@AquatikGuru Thank you so much for responding 🙏 that is good to know! Yes due to my tank size the amount of C02 going in with the CO2 diy kit I don’t believe it would cause problems for him. I’ve had it in for a week and have already noticed improvements in my rotala, s. repens, and salvinia (which definitely had no issues thriving before either 🙄 lol) so I’ll leave it running for now 👍

@audreycooper4860 my favorite part about this setup is unless it was running low or needing a complete refill it was flawless and caused no issues. Just gave me amazing results and gorgeous tanks with little to no maintenance required after
