Freyja

Thats about right.....the ones in my tanks vary from pin head to larger and I am sure lots more that I can't see....

Usually they are smaller than new born Betta fry.

Very true..it would be hard to get a pic, however, hydra generally are not harmful to adult Betta-they can kill fry and even give you a tiny sting-doesn't hurt too bad but it can startle you a bit...at least it does me.....

I'm not sure about the white algae, if you can post a pic I'm sure someone will know what it is. I have been seeing in my tank what looks like a clear piece of thin film with little dots or eggs on it. I assume it's snail eggs since it started after I got snails. Also, another advantage of snails is that they are sensitive to water conditions. When your water needs to be changed they will all go to the top of the tank to get either oxygen or to get out of the water, and they do this before the water starts to affect your fish.This morning I had about 75-100 snails at the top( I had no idea there were this many). I tested and nitrates had gotten high. I did a water change and within 15 mins they were back to the bottom.

Thats sounds like hydra...can you make a thread on the main board and post some pics...be sure and VM me and I will take a look...

Are you sure its not hydra...that is the only thing I can think of....Most critters in our tanks are harmless....

Good news with the fry. I usually have 1-2 survive. Are they showing any color yet or are they clear?

Just stopping by to say hello and I really like your avi pic! Cute tank! :)

Yep still shopping around for the IAL's. How many do you recommend for a 15 gallon long?

I'm so sorry to hear you lost Freyja. I hope you have a long time with your new beauty! He sounds awsome.
