  • Using the snail treatments was one of the hardest things I’ve done in this hobby. I’m always careful with chemicals and medicines in general, and usually try to use less than what is recommended. In my experience, there have been more than one occasion where the chemical caused more harm than good. However, in this case, at one point, I used something like 12 times the recommended amount and it still didn’t do anything. This really proves the point that it requires a specific chemical for a specific case.
    I’m usually fine with snails. I actually like them. If the population stabilized around 50~100 snails in this tank, I would’ve been fine with it. These trumpet snails however, did not stop breeding and would’ve crashed the tank. Think about a thousand plus snails pooping in the tank every day.
    I’m amazed that the wild snails survived through all this. There are lots of wild snails still in this tank. Also, there are a few shrimplets that survived through all this. That is mind boggling.
    This betta is a super frisky one. He goes crazy whenever I go near the tank since day one. Most bettas I’ve kept are usually cautious for a few days at the least, before figuring out that I’m the food source. He completely ignores the tetras. He is interested in the wild shrimp, but I haven’t seen him eat one. He also ignores the Amanos. He was most interested in the java moss. He probably has never seen one before.

    (*The most important part is the salinity and temperature. At room temperature, it might take 48 hours to hatch. At Higher the temps, they might hatch in less than 24 hours.)
    (*For salinity, I’m going by the 1 table spoon per liter rule. However, depending on the salt, you might want to try up to 2 table spoons.)
    Brine shrimp eggs: amzn.to/2L0Y4rG
    100% deep sea salt amzn.to/2YVeiFd
    (I use deep sea salt, but I think other salts will work, too. Something like aquarium salt.)

    Neodymium Magnet: amzn.to/2QkFABu
    Cherry shrimp amzn.to/2FsObxB
    Amano shrimp: amzn.to/2U9pw9c
    The plants in this tank now:
    Micro sword amzn.to/301YQHl - Still hanging on.
    Pygmy chain sword amzn.to/2HWhfyS - It stayed very short and small and sent out lots of runners.
    Glosso amzn.to/2LFAVbn - They have sent out lots runners. It’s staying very small and low to the ground.
    Java moss amzn.to/2N4uQsr - The ones on the rock are doing well. The ones below the water surface are also doing well
    Staurogyne repens amzn.to/39SlurG - It’s doing just OK. It is a slow grower it seems.
    Giant Duckweed amzn.to/2xV2iuR - It grows very fast in this tank.
    This is a Walstad Method tank. Check out her book in the link below if interested. The book I read to make this aquarium:

      I mean they were Malaysian trumpet snails... In a healthy tank, they should live in the substrate and only come out at night. The fact there were so many means that there was a bunch of decaying matter in the tank or like you had earlier algae. You can get decaying matter when shrimp molt, plants die off, tank mates die or overfeeding. Basically, any tank that has live plants (unless the plants were kept in a sterile environment) will have them.

    For those of you wondering what the sounds coming from the loaches was about, they're "clicking their teeth". They do this for a number of reasons, excitement, territorial disputes, when they've found food. I have some gold zebra loaches and they do this from time to time once the lights are out and food is in the tank. When I first got them to clear out some bladder snails in a 10g, they did it regularly, as they were gorging themselves on snails till their bellies bulged. They're such fun little gluttons, the only downside is when they loudly dig around in the substrate when you're trying to sleep, haha.

      unfortunately, he explains in another video that Dante ended up with a parasite. Unfortunately, it happens. And fish can act completely fine until suddenly they are on the verge of death. I've kept bettas and other aquatic animals for a long time and every once in a while there is an animal who slips through the cracks with their illness.

    You need to kill off those round snails IMMEDIATELY! They are even worse than the spiral ones! I’ve had them in my tanks before and they eat everything and reproduce asexually. I started with two hitchhiking into my tank on plants, thought they were cute, kept one and gave the other to my friend. Within a couple weeks she had an infestation that escaped her tank and was all over her room, I started trying to kill the ones in my tank but they are impossible to control, even with fish that enjoy eating them.

      best way to control is to minimize overfeeding. They only reproduce if there's an abundance of food. I also usually add a loach/bottomfeeder pellet and wait for them to all bunch up on it and then I just scoop them out with a net.
      I'll do that for a few days and then once I've removed most, then I proceed by feeding less, only every 2nd day. And then most of the snails I guess grow weaker or something and then my kuhli loaches have a bit of a feast. So yeah, then I have maybe like 20 or less in my tank, and it stays like that until I overfeed or add things like alder leaves or IAL or cholla fingers, etc. Then they go nuts again.

    • @SeraliaAerials
      @SeraliaAerials 3 года назад +21

      Mia I’m not talking about control and if you have plants in your tank, they absolutely will munch on them til they are gone. Population control is just not enough in a planted tank when it comes to these little shits. To protect your plants from these things, genocide is the only option.
