Mothercrow 37 Posted October 11, 2016 (edited) I put one small (fish bowl size) wonder shell in my 20g betta tank. The American Aquarium Products web page said that bettas sometimes find the shells distressing at first so I went small the first time. It lets off one bubble about every second, which aggravates my betta to no end. He chased the bubbles up then danced around in frustration when they disappeared. I hope it helps him heal faster, as he's still recovering from fin nipping that he did in the store. The goldies are next, after tonight's water change.

TikiLola 5,709 Posted October 11, 2016 (edited) Added one to each tank during tonight's wc's . Edited October 11, 2016 by TikiLola 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HomerJay 4,668 Posted October 11, 2016 Now that the shell is long gone, the babies still seem happy, but not as much. I'm confident that these make my babies happier. I've gotta find a way to keep them around. My main fish tank is the heaviest on stocking and my tap water is barely safe to drink lol. Do you have any dead spots at the top of the tank? Maybe you could put one in a shower caddy near the top someplace? Like this: 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mjfromga 1,784 Posted October 11, 2016 Hmm. I'll have to see. My tank has a lid so Idk if there's space for one of those. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HomerJay 4,668 Posted October 11, 2016 Hmm. I'll have to see. My tank has a lid so Idk if there's space for one of those. It attaches with suction cups so it could fit right below the lid. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mjfromga 1,784 Posted October 11, 2016 Gotcha. I'll check the current and see if there's a gap that may be appropriate. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris1251 490 Posted October 26, 2016 Chris here... I added a Supper sized Wonder Shell to my 40 gallon tank on 10/19... Today I did my weekly WC... This is the size of the shell today... Is this the normal break down time frame for the shell??? Or should I be doing some thing different??? Thanks!!! 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TikiLola 5,709 Posted October 26, 2016 Thanks for reminding me! I added a supersize to the 75 and the 55 on 10/11. It was all but gone yesterday(totally gone today)10/25in the 75 and about a 1 inch chunk is left in the 55. Exactly 2 weeks in the 75. The 75 has 2 airstones and a 32 gallon garbage can as a filter. With a smaller airstone in the filter. The 55 has an aqueon 55/75 on one end and a large sponge filter on the other. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mjfromga 1,784 Posted October 26, 2016 The one I put with Citrine is almost gone after like 4 days and the pond sized one I put in main is greatly diminished, too. They seem to help, but I will give up on them. Mine just dissolve too fast. They're dissolving faster this time than last time just randomly. Unfortunate. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
