Ooh lucky you! <3
My two snails, both Gold Incas, won't breed. I think they're the same gender xc

This is Noodle the baby golden rabbit snail! ♥

That is adorable! How big is it?



While were on the subjet of snails, I want to get one (or more, depending on the ammout of fish I have, I need odd numbers) for the 50-something ltr tank.

I need something that'll eat stuff off the plants/ornaments, (I get the wierd brown slime stuff, think it's something to do with leftover food, crap filter, and the lights) and something that's not going to get huge.
I currently have 5 neon tetras, 3 bumble bee platies & 1 mellow male betta in there, and am planning to add 5 rummy nose tetras, and possibly 5 harlequinn rasboras (used to have some in, but not sure if I want to add them again).
Also, needs to be commonly available in UK pet shops.

I was going to get some candy nerites, but I can only get them online, which isnt possible right now as we've had trouble with the post, and aren't getting it delivered to the house. And the place that sells them won't use a courier.

Any suggestions?

Ahh, he/she is adorable! I was wondering, what kind of fish/invertebrate can live with Bettas and is good at cleaning algae off the walls/gravel/plants, I have a bad algae problem.

EDIT;;
Code red!
My Platy, Knight, was fine this morning, but I just checked on her and it looks like she has a combination of Ich, Dropsy, Cottonmouth and fin rot. I put her in quarantine and put fungus guard fizzy tablets in both tanks, but she's not doing to well. Any suggestions?

@ Spiderfish-
Isn't your tank a bit overstocked?
@Betta.
Poor fish. I don't have any suggestions, but wish you luck! Ich, Dropsy, Cottonmouth, and fin rot do not sound like a happy combination.
@Bolt1784
Noodle is cute! Who's the mom and who's the dad? Wouldn't Noodle get harmed by the rocks? I always thought that snails would eat/get spiked by small rocks/sand.

I have about 7 large snails and they don't do anything for the brown slime, its actually plankton and most new tanks get them you just have to let it run its course (side note, my snails layed eggs again! )

Can someone tell me what is that brown slimy stuff? Do shrimp or snails kill it? Is there a type of fish that will?

its a type of plankton that newer tanks get, theres not much you can do about it, just wipe it off the glass/décor and wait till it has run its course

[scuttlefish]

How long does it stay there? I've had my t ank for 6 months and then BOOM! It starts invading my tank right after the start of summer vacation. Whoopy. Sothis is how it went for three months- wipe with rag, siphon, -week passes- wipe with rag, siphon, -week passes- wipe with rag, siphon, -week passes- and so on. When will it go away? And evil plankton!

[fruity99]

It wont leave till what it feeds on is gone , did you get new rocks lately?
