Re: Hot weather
Nothing, I leave it as it is. Me too. Although it may get warm (up to 30C on a hot Summer day) I don't really worry. In their natural habitat the water temperature varies anyway, so a seasonal variation in our aquariums shouldn't really be a concern. The only thing that may be of concern is oxygena...

Re: Hot weather
If you watch some of the videos of Below Water on YouTube, it isn't unusual for water temperatures to hit 28°C to 30°C in the dry season in some parts of Orinoco basin in South America. High water temperatures caused by warm weather only become an issue for cold water species or a Coral reef aquari...

Hot weather
I’m just thinking in advance, if we get horribly hot weather this year, what do you do to keep the tank at the temp you want? I’m guessing ice cubes or frozen water in a bottle? But it seems like a hit and miss idea at making sure it stays at the same temp

Re: Baby snail appeared
They can live in ponds can’t they, I might kick him out if I see him again and put him in the small wildlife pond I have.

Re: Baby snail appeared
Another tiny snail, this doesn’t look like a rabbit snail either. Is it a pest? Where on earth has it come from as I haven’t added anything new to the tank.

Re: Red cherry shrimp eggs
Omg ignore me, I’ve just seen her with her eggs still?! She’d disappeared for 4 or 5 days. I saw everyone else this morning, and now she’s suddenly appeared, definitely the same one that had eggs before as she’s the biggest. I’m so confused. 🤣 I guess the one I found that I thought was dead was just...

Re: Red cherry shrimp eggs
No baby shrimp. She died :( Think it was my fault. I did a larger than meant to water change, I was concentrating so much on trying to siphon the poo up I accidentally took out about 50% of the water. Apparently water changes can make them moult so I presume this is what happened and it went wrong. ...

Re: Baby snail appeared
It took quite a lot of waiting for that side shot of him 🤣 Even my original snail hasn’t got a very elongated shell, it’s not that much longer than it is wide. Lost the little guy already, he covered a lot of area quickly. The shrimp disappear a lot too! Haven’t seen the one carrying eggs all day, h...

Re: Baby snail appeared
I think so, especially the dark part of the shell and the way he moves. I’m really worried about accidentally hoovering him up when I do water changes.
