Hi there!
4 weeks ago I bought a group (10) of Pseudomugil Gertudae and some(4) Filopaludina martensi (White Wizard Snail).
The Pseudo's are doing well! Quite a bit of courtship behavior. Awesome playful fish!
Unfortunately, the WWS's are not doing great.
Currently, one snail has died (eaten by Amano's when the shell was dissolving) and another snail's shell is dissolving. As you can see in my specs, my water is quite soft and acidic, as is my ADA V2 soil, hence the dissolving...
What can I (still) do about this?
I have read that I can increase the PH and KH by gradually adjusting the parameters with Baking Soda. But how can I ensure a good long-term solution?
Can I use crushed eggshell as a source of calcium, for example in a bag in the filter? (last before the water goes to the tank)
Can the WWS's be saved?
Thanks in advance!
