I have a freshwater aquarium with guppies, molly, pleco, algae eater, otto cat, figure 8 puffer, angel fish, shrimp and neon tetras. My two snails died, but all of the fish are doing great and the tank is cycled. I do keep a small amount (smaller than 1 tbsp/5 gallons) of pure salt in the tank. I had a small brown algae diatoms outbreak at the end of the cycling of the tank.
What killed these so called “hardy” snails? What are the requirements for snails to thrive in an aquarium?

It seems as though my rainbow sharks keep eating my neon tetras. I have recently purchased 18 and I only have 3 remaining. I have bought guppies and ghost shrimp to try and keep them away from the tetras but it doesn’t seem to be working. Any suggestions?

currently have 7 neon tetras and 5 shrimps
10 gallon tank with sand substrate and lots of plants/rocks
looking to add 3 swordtails (1M 2F)
and 2 honey gourami M&F
do you think adding swordtail and gourami is a good mix of fish?
or else give me suggestions on what other freshwater fish might look good in addition of what I have

Well, my 10 gallon is finally established, but I am a little disappointed. My tank looks amazing, but my fish (6 black neon tetras, 1 male dalmatian molly and 1 cory catfish, along with a few shrimp and snails) aren’t very entertaining. My tetras stick together in one corner, and my molly stays near the surface with minimal movement. I was thinking of moving the tetras to a 29 gallon, and I need some good replacements.
What are some cool fish that look nice and are fun to watch?
So far I am getting 3 zebra danios and 1 female dalmatian molly, what else should I put in there?
Larger species are OK, as I will relocate them to a 29 gallon once they grow.
thanks
to see my tank, youtube search “Black neon tetras 10 gallon tank” its the first one. tell me what you think
Ok I will add some plants soon and post another video of how the tetras are doing; hopefully they will start swimming around if not they are going to my 29 gallon
like I said I will move larger fish (including the molly) to a 29 gallon once the time comes so size doesn’t matter

I have a 10 gal tank and I was thinking of putting 3-4 neon tetras ,1 african dwarf frog and 1-3 vampire shrimp or yellow or purple banded shrimp if they are freshwater.And I’m going to ask if they store has bristlenose plecos and clams. I’m also looking for a betta but its fins might get ripped .So I know I’m getting 3 or more neon tetras ,1 african dwarf frog and some kind of shrimp from the store but I’m not sure if I should do that, what do you think?
