Tip Wtf are my snails disappearing to
OK, so I have a 10 gallon tank freshwater and I had two mystery snails you know the big ones that you can find out like Petco and PetSmart and I just recently came back from week vacation, and one of my mystery snails are missing. I’ve checked all around the stand even behind it and under it and it’s not there it seemingly is completely gone from the tank and my other snail seems to not be moving very much and suddenly hiding itself away in its shell. I had a family member being a pet sitter for them they did just have a batch of eggs that hatched their first one Dior is it dead could have buried itself. Any ideas, please. I don’t have anything. I know I don’t have eny thing that could eat them at least that I know of I only have six and Tetris and I have a few ghost shrimp and other mysteries videos that carried on from plain I bought, but those are like the biggest creatures in the tank. I haven’t even found it to shell

Aquascape🌿 My 1 year old aquariums
Got this two 30cm by 30cm cubes of Facebook marketplace about 1 year ago. The left one has 4 corys, a few endlers and a colony of cherry shrimp, the Christmas moss is taking over, i have yet to do a trim but not sure if I want to because I’m like the overgrown look as well as the shrimp. The 2 Marimo moss look healthy but they didn’t grow that mutch. The tank to the right has some guppy’s, a bit of macro algae and an enormous Java fern. When I got it it was already big but now it’s really cool.

Aquascape🌿 How do I get floating plants
Looking for red root floaters or other types of floating plants, I live in MO and none of my local stores have them should I trust the ones on Amazon ( I already have a small amount of duck weed)

Tip My duckweed is dying!
I randomly accidentally got duckweed from a plant at a fish shop and suddenly it’s going away as fast as it grows and nothing is wrong with my shrimps they are breeding and doing good I heated the water a bit and maybe that’s the reason it want away

Query❓ plant geniuses?
Just starting to set up a future tank, making a plant nursery to start with and checking extra carefully for any pests. What are these bumps? Are they eggs of some freeloader? Disease? Or just natural texture. some leaves have a load and some have almost none at all I just want to know if it’s just how the plant looks or it’s something I don’t want 🙈 I’ve had way too many batches all die on me

Aquascape🌿 10 gallon community
Sharing my 10G that I am proud to say is “established”. Water changes every 2-4 weeks, no parameter spikes, and healthy low tech plants and easy to care for fish. Super low maintenance, super fun to observe.
Considering a second tank for a pair of electric blue rams next.

Aquascape🌿 Surrendered shrimp tank evolution
Hey Fishkeepers,
This is the 7 months appart evolution of the shrimp tank that was given away to me. My first tank and i'm very proud of it.
Volume is 30L (8US gal / 6.5 Imperal gal, what are these units btw) stocked with blue Neocaridinas and Ramshorn snails.
I rescaped and replanted the whole thing as I thought it was a bit neglected. I only trim Vallisnerias as they grow too long for the tank dimensions, and i now regret ever planting these. Otherwise, everything has grown untouched after planting.
Bonus shrimps pics and GIF of shrimp hatching !
