These guys came in with some plants. Don’t have any fish yet. Are they pests? Will pearl Danio’s or Chili Rasboas eat them or their eggs? thanks!

So I cleaning my aquarium (freshwater) and dumped the water from my red water change bucket and noticed in the bottom of the bucket massive movements. They appear to be tiny bugs moving about, too small to make out with the naked eye. Then I stuck my head into my sump that I just vacuumed...

Looking for some help ID'ing this snail. Good guy or pest?? Thanks all!

Okay, so I'm the unluckiest planted tank owner in the world it seems. My 10 gallon low tech planted tank has been cycling for 12 days now, and is my very first planted tank. I plan on putting a nerite snail and a betta fish inside, maybe with some shrimp. Nothing is in it right now but plants...

Hello Everyone! I have a bit of a problem with some ostracods - copepods. I've read several times that they are a good sign of water quality, however they are bothering my poor black racer Nerites to death! I have had this tank set up for 3 months now and everyone was fine until this outbreak...

I was wondering if it would be a no-no to bath my new plants I got from the LFS, which has a huge pond snail problem, in a concentration of Had-A-Snail before rinsing thoroughly and putting in my fish tank. Thing is, is that I have shrimp in my tank. Would it not hurt the shrimp as long as I...

I found these pests, I am not sure if they are bugs or snails or what. They sort of float then land where they want either on the glass or on a plant. They don't really scuttle or dash, like I have seen water fleas do and I compared to copepod video and I don't think they are that pest either. I...
