Thank you!!!!

I bought the Prime, tank is only 1 gallon so like 1 or 2 drops? Thanks!

Update: Uggg...so I tested for ammonia again on Sunday and the results are below. Greenish...$%^&%$%^*$%^$%^ :x I did about a 60% water change and pulled out the shells, rocks and plastic plants to rinse them thoroughly. Fred and the snails seem fine, but Fred is still very pale. I have some alg...

Update:

Ammonia, Nitrates/Nitrites, PH are all normal. So I assume I just leave things be. I assume the cloudiness and odor are normal? Thanks!

Wow! These little guys are hard OR I am an idiot...likely the later. So after my fiasco with the cucumber turning the water cloudy I ordered some of those algae eater tabs you guys recommended. You said to only feed a small chunk but I stupidly assumed the ones I bought were smaller than what you we...

I saw Fred!!! I just hope he is okay. So the guy at the petstore said to give my 2 Nerite snails cucumber and romaine...which I did. Now the water is very cloudy and the snails are out of the water at the top of the aquarium. I just added some fresh water (same PPT) to dilute...did I see Fred becaus...

Thanks! How big a chuck? They seem to eat a ton of algae.

I got 2 Nerite snails to live with Fred (whom I never see :( ) They cleaned everything up very nicely but now I am worried they have nothing to eat. The guy at the aquarium store said to feed them some lettuce, cucumber or zucchini. I gave them 2 small cucumber slices and 2 small romaine pieces. I d...

Is the poop bad for Fred? Thanks!

Noticed this growing in with Fred...sprinkle like algae? Is is bad? Thanks!!!

So I had to know if Fred is alive, so about a week ago I started removing things from his setup until I saw him. I know....I am an ass :} Still translucent but seems to be doing fine. I added 2 snails I got from our local fish store, Bob and Ralph. They are cleaning things up well. My next question ...

Okay, I have had dogs since I was four, fostered over 300 animals, licensed wildlife rehabber...but this little shrimp....OMG...I have never been so stressed over an animal. BECAUSE I NEVER SEE HIM...okay I see him maybe once every 2 days. I have not seen him for 3 days now. His is still translucent...

One other question....does he have to have algae if I am feeding him a fish flake and a vegetarian fish pellet every two weeks? thanks!

Update on Fred: Overall he seems to be doing okay in his new aquarium. He is still translucent so it is hard to see him. I have seem him swim a little. But mostly he just sits there. I have not seen him eat his fish flake first hand. I got him a new light that will be here tonight as the one that ca...
