The Algae King Koopa Snail is a great addition to help keep decaying plants and algae at a minimum in community and planted aquariums. They are a peaceful snail that will not bother other snails, fish or plants. They are considered to be an exceptional consumer of algae and cyanobacteria. Algae King Koopa Snail are hardy in a mature, stable, well-maintained aquarium. While this snail can live in a wide variety of pH levels, it will live for much longer in alkaline water of over 7.0 pH. If it is kept in acidic water, it is more prone to experience shell erosion. This snail mostly relies on biofilm and algae as their food source, but if that becomes scarce be sure to supplement their diet with spirulina-based foods.

ACCLIMATION: Allow the sealed bag with your new fish to float in your aquarium for at least 15 minutes (but no longer than one hour) to ensure the water in the bag matches the temperature in your aquarium. For new aquariums, adding new fish slowly helps to properly develop the nitrogen cycle, which creates a safe environment for your aquatic pets. A bacteria booster may also help develop a new aquarium for your new fish. Petco offers free water testing in store to determine if your water is safe. DIET: A well-balanced diet consists of a variety of flakes, pellets, freeze-dried, and frozen food, depending on the species. FEEDING: Feed sparingly and no more than fish can eat in 1-2 minutes. Overfeeding can quickly foul the water, especially in smaller, unfiltered aquariums.

I have 2 Mystery Snails and a betta in a 3.5G tank. Tank is filtered and has a heater. One snail has not grown at all while the other has nearly doubled in size. He is lathargic and I rarely see him eat his food or even come out of the shell. His shell has turned to a dull dark brown colour and looks to be cracking a little bit. Does this sound like a water issue? Does he sound sick? What can I do to help him. In the last picture, he is the smaller snail in the front.
My 9 month old pink bellied sideneck turtle has developed a cloudy eye. I looked through my jewlers loop and it looks like a algae is growing over it. What could this be?
It is an Singaporean turtle
My pet red eared slider Snappy is always sleeping and doesn't eat it's food pellets that I gave him. He runs towards the dry area when I put him in the water and he floats. I have seen some very small worms when I put him in the water.
I have a few problems in my cichlids tank currently. 1. There are these tiny white gnat like flying bugs coming out of the water? 2. Brown algae on the glass won’t go away! But I have snails and an eel so I don’t know what to use that won’t kill them 3. my tiger Oscar likes to lay at the bottom? All the fish seem to be breathing heavy but ph and ammonia are normal 4. Live plants have some sort of dark brown slime on their leaves won’t go away 5.dempsey ‘shivers’ or twitches recently
My goldfishh is becoming white and is being lazy and staying in the middle of the tank
Hello, i have two RES that i bought from fishshop, i have an aquarium that dont get any direct sunlight, so i help them basking under the sun, one of my RES showed white spot like this, is it fungus? Or shedding? And what should i do? I tried using methelyne blue, and it showed no effect, also my other RES has a little bump on his neck, he didnt have it on the first day i bought, any suggestion? Thanks in advance.
My african sideneck turtle shell has a green spot inside the shell, do you have any advise on how to treat or what the green may be.? In a article I read of putting the turtle in a dry area and letting them have a 1hr of water/feed time and use mild soap to wash shell (diluted?), povidone iodine (diluted?), and either rub it on shell or let sit with gauze on shell for 10 mins? Also dust their food with calcium..? Abagail (Abby, from Blade), she refuses to bask bt she does eat/have fun swimming
