Looking for some freshwater snails to take care of your glass, and add some interesting variety to your tank? Look no further than striped nerites, beautifully patterned, and can't breed in freshwater, so no snail infestations!

you're only limited by your imagination! 3 possible examples in the one tank below, african shell dwellers, mountain minnow riverbank, and driftwood scape, don't hesitate to consider your options!

A helpful graphic below outlining the nitrogen cycle! For our newer (and some existing) members, the nitrogen cycle may be a foreign concept, it is however vitally important to understand the basics of it to ensure long-term success of your aquarium! Essentially, as fish produce waste (ammonia), this is converted by bacteria into toxic nitrite, which is further broken down to (not as lethal) nitrate. This breakdown process is performed by the bacteria in your filter and tank, and illustrates the need for an established tank when adding livestock to your tank. In the absence of bacteria, ammonia and nitrite reach dangerous levels for fish, therefore we suggest the best course of action is to obtain some existing filter media from an existing tank to add to your own (seeding), perform a fishless cycle by adding a source of ammonia until the tank establishes, or more controversially by adding fish as a source of ammonia. If electing for the fish in cycle, make sure to operate frequent water changes (often on a daily basis), along with considering bottled bacteria that help keep ammonia levels low while things start up. Water changes serve to remove end product nitrates from your tank, in tandem with live plants (that we recommend!) We'll be exploring further tank concepts in future posts, but we welcome discussion on this post below!

we've all been there!
