Will Ghost Shrimp eat my snail? - Page 2

Thanks for your help, I will check prices on a gravel cleaner when I go to the pet store. I have always done 100% changes until I found this forum, so I'll pick up something to scoop with too..

Good good.
100% water changes are not a good idea... about 40% a week is fine (scattered around, not in one day)

That's what i do.
And for my 6.5-7gal tank, i got a cleaner for like £5... so, ya know

They're cheap.

I looked but didn't see any at the pet store today. I also went to get the neon's (which they had) but they were $1.50 each, I'm going to check the other pet store before I buy them, that seemed a bit high for what they are. Bettas are only $3.00. They ddin't have any real floating plants either, going to have to look back at the forms for those.

I would recommend that you not get *anything* to put in your tank. With the one betta, 1 snail, and a couple of shrimp, you already have more than enough for a 2 gallon tank. Do not get anything, I repeat anything, until you get a bigger tank.

I didn't realise she had a 2GAL tank *gulp*

Go get another tank, perhaps a 3.5GAL, they wont be expensive...

and you can get the neons for that.

MyraVan · 11-01-2005, 01:06 PM

I'd recommend that if you get another tank, get at least a 10 gallon tank. I've found that the smaller tanks are more difficult to take care of than a 10 gallon one. With a 10 gallon you can have a full school of 6 neons, and something else cool besides (like a gourami, or another betta, but not both in the same tank!)

Chazwick · 11-01-2005, 02:27 PM

Yes but some people (as myself) just don't have the room for a bigger tank

Seeing as she has such as small tank, i was assuming she didn't have much space.

kristian18f · 11-01-2005, 05:57 PM

I don't have any space, and I just got home from buying, guess I will see what I can do, but going back to the pet store right now is out of the question.
