Father Fish, awesome videos! Watching these has been instructive and helpful. I have had a few nerite/mystery snails die in my small 3 gallon tank. I have removed them and done water changes, administered Prime a couple times and have two filters... but there is still an ammonia spike (as I understand it, the dead snails release a lot of ammonia...) and cloudy water. Interestingly enough, fish do not seem bothered and are just fine. Would you recommend just letting the cycle handle the ammonia?

I am pretty amazed that almost all your solutions to cloudy water doesn't even include a plain change of water but instead keeping that "foul" water and just clean it. 😮 That is pretty interresting and I will try to do exactly that when times come. QUESTION - From your lifetime experience with tanks, do you recommend to always filter the water (I'm thinking sponges and activated coal) or is it better to try and have an healthy unfiltered tank and filter only when needed ?

I have cleaned the sponge filter and made a 10% change. Is there anything I should do or do I just leave the tank do the work ? It's a well established tank with your advice I have soil sand and plants that are thriving and so are the fish and growing at a rapid rate since I set the tank up in the proper way.

I think she used about 6 months worth of food. Nothing died but the filter was just gunked and I had to do a 50% water change. Now there are enough plants and other things that I think NO food for 2 weeks will be fine. But yes, don't let someone who feeds your mammals to feed your fish.

Hello Father Fish! I hope all is well. Greetings from Dublin, Ireland! I have plenty of fine sand available and John Innes No.3 Compost and would like to use both in my fish tank. I wonder if this soil is good/safe to use, what is your thought on it? I want to lay it as a base layer with a 2-inch cap of sand on top. If I were to use this particular soil should I rinse it under water a couple of times beforehand so that it is not so nutrient-rich? Looking forward to hearing your thoughts. Thank you, Sophia! An online website showed me this as the soil composition: John Innes No. 3 Compost Sterilized loam, peat, sharp sand, and ground limestone 8mm Loam: 55% v/v Peat: 25% v/v Grit: 17% v/v Contains Super Phosphate Contains Potassium Sulphate

One trick I know for dusty water or unsettled mulm is to add bentonite, that is clumping kitty litter. like 1 tsbp per 100l or so. that will make the water cloudy as hell for a day and when it settles it will take some dirt with it. i think thats something they do in natural bodies of water which have a problem with turbidity. it may not solve the systemic problem, but if the mayor is visiting tomorrow and your living room tank is looking cloudy, it may help save your rep :)

Snails keep dying in my tank. Ive had tanks on and off in my lifetime and never had an issue with keeping snails before. Could it be metal or overpopulation from guppies.

Lol literally just had someone watching my fish for 2 days... would have been better off letting them go without food.

What do I keep telling you? NEVER ask anyone to take care of your fish. They will kill them.

Curious what the cons are of running sand on top of gravel? I've been doing it for the past month or so at your suggestion (2 inches of river gravel capped with 3 inches of sand) and it is working very well and my plants are doing just fine with the food my fish are providing them. Long term, what are some issues I will run into as opposed to your standard 1 inch of soil underneath the sand? Thank you again for your knowledge.

NONE> The gravel captures and holds detritus and the sand makes it possible to convert to soil

@@FatherFish That was my theory, glad to know it works. Already have the dead leaves but now I need to get some daphnia and other organisms to eat it. Hoping to harbor the ideal cold water stream ecosystem.

Hello from Mexico Father Fish! Ok, so I live in a small beach town with no fresh water stream in the immediate area. is it ok to collect rain water from an old fountain? I'm thinking I can add some of that and leaves. What do you think? BTW: I took dirt from my yard and sand from the beach and created my 2 gallon tank. It's super clear and the Betta loves it! Yesterday I fed him fresh tuna - he's been so active since. Thanks!
