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 black mystery snail layer 1 set of eggs, without a male. The next week, she layed another set. Currently, I have four sets of eggs and I'm not sure why she layed so many without a male. Do you have any ideas? Also, will the eggs hatch?
Hi my baby turtle has a black spot on its shell.
Hi, I have a 48 litre tank with 6 platies and two red spotted snails, I also had a black corydora catfish he was fine lastnight but was dead at the bottom of the tank this morning, now one of my snails hasn’t come out or moved in 4 days I have tried the tests online to see if he is dead but I am still unsure if he is just sick or shy, is there anything you would recommend,thanks.(I have removed him into his own tank just in case.)
How many snails can I have in a 55 gallon fish tank?
Only a week ago I transferred my two red eared sliders to a preformed pond enclosure, cleaned the filter, added common goldfish from the pet store to the water -- Not adding the water they came in into the pond obviously. I noticed both had a dull white smudge/blotch on their plastron and tiny white hard bumps on their carapace, and I can't manage to pick them off. No dents or bad smells, clear eyes, clean water. Same diet besides one night of goldfish binging. Could they be calcium deposits?
Hello I’m not sure if I have came to the right place, but I have a few questions about my zebra nerite snails in my fish tank. I don’t know if they can reproduce I only have one in my tank but I was wandering what these small snail like creatures are and if they are a threat to my other fish in my tank. I have been looking these up and I can’t quite wonder what they are. Thank you for your service
What are the white spots on its shell.pls tell me. I sent you a mezsage earlier and you told me to send another message.
Hi umm... So my black mystery snail layer eggs in my female betta tank and I'm worried my betta will eat them. My female betta has never harmed my snail before, but she has pushed her over. Will my betta eat the snails? If so, what do I do to keep the babys?
Hello, i have an Apple snail with a betta and a assassin snail in the same tank. My apple snail broke his shell when he was walking around the tank but he walked and was active, so i tought he was fine,but my assassin snail attacked him and now looks very bad. He isn't dead but he doesn't walk around like a normal Apple snail he just gets out of his shell and sits without walking. Is he gonna live ? I know I'm such a bad owner but please Tell me what to do.... Thanks.
We’ve recently bought a pet snail and I’m wondering if we should put calcium rich sand on the bottom of the tank we have some made for hermit crabs and I feel as though he shouldn’t be submerged in water all the time so should I put some down or is he fine? I’m unsure of what type of snail he is but the person at the shop said he was a cold water snail I think
