"Education is for improving the lives of others and for leaving the world better than you found it." - Marian Wright Edelman
I started my social media channels to share my animals with people who would also appreciate them, but they have since evolved into platforms where I can share my knowledge with others and in doing so, help them better take care of their animals.
I've owned fish on and off for the past 15+ years along with reptiles and arachnids. Even though I have an unrelated degree, my true passion lies with animals, which is why I'm currently studying to become an Animal Behaviorist and hope to one day work with animals full-time.
Thank you for sharing my journey with me!

CAN CARIDINA BE KEPT IN TAP WATER?
I get asked this question at least twice a week, so I thought it was time to give a detailed explanation of why you should not keep Caridina shrimp in tap water.

NO MORE ALGAE! The Solution To Black Beard Algae
มุมมอง 2Kปีที่แล้ว
Black Beard Algae (BBA) has got to be one of the worst forms of algae out there because it is so difficult to get rid of. So when I was told about a product that would eliminate my BBA problem, I had to test it for myself to see if it really works. This video will focus on APT Fix and the results after using it for 1 week. Thanks again to MY TANKLIFE for sponsoring this video! APT Fix on My Tan...
I SCAPED THIS TANK SPECIFICALLY FOR THESE ANIMALS #aquascape
มุมมอง 748ปีที่แล้ว
I finally had a chance to scape my new 3ft tank! This tank took some planning and design to get it perfect for the animals I had in mind. I will be making another updated video in a few weeks when I am able to add the animals to this tank. Please let me know what small fish I should add to the tank!

It's not the parameters but YAH
Great clear information. Thank you.
I have baby bladder snails. I found them in my 10g tank and just moved all the fish over to the new 75g. Saw all these little guys crawling around. I transfered some to the big tank and the 10g will become the quarantine tank. They are welcome to the family just like the fish. I added some extra algea wafers for them were the big fish can't get to.
The picture off black man and eating smal shrimp was not nice...👊
We had introduced some white mystery snails a while ago maybe November maybe and just today oct 22 2024 we seen these long pointy snails I’m thinking trumpet I’m assuming they nicked a ride in the new snails 😊
I have a small tank that has nothing but what I think sre trumpet snails. There are so many i remove the bigger ones and feed them to my turtles. I'm not too happy doing that but thats how i keep the population down. My question concerns mystery and nerite snails i have in my fish aquariums. What do you suggest is the best way to give them calcium? Thank you...
Thank you, I have to euthanize my poor girl who got Dropsy
I have Neocardinas in RO water, should I be worried? It's day 3 now
I purposefully introduced trumpet snails to clean betweet the gravel :)
Just get to the method!!
Are all shrimp edible?
I miss you, truly.
Thank you!
The guessing game at the end was extremely appreciated! Thank you!
Thanks so much! This was really cool and informative!
❤❤❤
Planorbarius eats plants. This is 100% clear by my long experience and theyr numbers grow up also with no food. Bytheway, they are strongest snails to eat algae. Best snails in the acquarium world are nerites...they really cleans so good any hard surface, like glasses, woods and rocks.
What glue do you use? 🙏 looks brilliant 🎉
I had a betta that was this ones twin for a few years very laid back and liked to watch us a lot so beautiful and always my favorite
I wish my betta was a peaceful fellow
Love this, too bad these pots are not sold in the US.
Fantastic thanks pretty girl!
Currently sobbing while watching this. Had an epistylis outbreak from a new fish, he died and made all my fish sick, specially my yoyo loaches, oh man. Those two are suffering so much i gotta do this. No treatment has worked on them im afraid. Thank you for this.
A SOUTH AFRICAN!!!!!!!!!
Beautiful video 🥰
It’s like he is the guardian of the shrimp
What treat are you feeding your shrimps? They seem to love it
I just started shrimp tank. I already have berried shrimp! Mixing red, blue, yellow and green in one tank. Also have ghost shrimp. Love them.
You know having a population boom of pest snails is a sign of over feeding
Just bought a Siamese fighting fish in Midrand China Town, thanks for this video, really helpful
the big fat pleco sucking on something haha
Great points....❤ new sub as well...
Love the quiz at the end! Thanks so much
What do you do for the fishes body?

I was going to jokingly say "thanks Elvira", then noticed your name is Ellie. Coincidence??? anyway great video lol.
Hiii I am Indian I am not successful Aman Aseem bleeding
This is the best video on these snails. Thank you!
Can you use an aquarium decoration that has glow in the dark paint on it in a shrimp tank?
It’s two male?!.
Any way to get rid of the giant leeches, they say they won’t eat shrimp, they are scary looking and my true nemesis. I will have to destroy my tank to get rid of them.
I have the opposite problems, more ramshorn vs trumpet. My nemesis is the bladder and pond snails! Ugh
Your points are all valid, however KH can be important if you are using aqua soil, it can lower you Kh and Ph causing a crash. Aquarium Ph kits only read as low as 6 and if you don't pay attention to that, it can cause the crash. Most of these thing that I'm saying apply to neocaridina shrimp as TB's are fine with low Ph. If your shrimp are mysteriously dying, it could also be chloromine levels, which are easily tested with an $8 pool chloromine kit, I do agree with not fixing what's not broken, the things that I have mentioned are only in case of mysterious shrimp deaths after them thriving. At least periodically check your Ph and Kh. I have experienced this and hope you never do.
I did this for the 1st time, to my 2 year and 8 month old Betta, Delphine. It was hard but it was so fast I was grateful I did it.
People who only came to get information in this video have my respect!!
The little head turn oh my goodness😭😭
Great video , thankyou ! I’ve been losing so many shrimp recently 😢 I had a great colony that were flourishing and lately somethings gone off balance, and lost half of them 😭 been trying to get back on track so🤞 I can!
Very well done.
You need to not feed them anything extra, and nature will take care of the rest...this includes feeding your fish the bare minimum as to make sure no excess food builds....yes, multiple times daily I am checking parameters, and do small water changes to dilute....my snails came in on plants from a company which guaranteed no snails. Im building an ecosystem and learned very quickly the benefit from their ability to clean. Incredible.....
Thank you. That was helpful. 😊
Great post - thank you
