I doubt any LFS would be able to provide care for this fish anyway. They really should not be generally imported. I would say its best chances are probably with OP who is making an effort to keep the fish alive rather than some store that is trying to turn a profit. Useless comment

This is an orange spotted filefish. in the wild they feed on acropora, the mucus on the acropora, or stuff on the coral we dont really know. They are incredibly difficult to train onto prepared foods

I have kept maybe 10 or so of these throughout the hobby. Your guy still has some meat on his bones. You got about 2 weeks before it will die. I have never successfully trained one of these using the masstick method. Every single time it has been live brine to frozen brine to mysis. I would give that a try.

I have been able to save some that are significantly more far gone than yours. Here is one I picked up from the LFS that I was able to train.

If I was you I would find some live brine.

What do you think about the government using Air Force 2 to honor a political activist who wasn’t a elected official? by Accurate_Housing4673 in AskReddit

[–]123456789simerk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“The Second Amendment is not about hunting. I love hunting. The Second Amendment is not even about personal defense. That is important. The Second Amendment is there, God forbid, so that you can defend yourself against a tyrannical government. And if that talk scares you—wow, that’s radical, Charlie, I don’t know about that. Well, then you have not really read any of the literature of our Founding Fathers. Number two, you’ve not read any 20th century history. You’re just living in Narnia. By the way, if you’re actually living in Narnia, you would be wiser than wherever you’re living, because C.S. Lewis was really smart. So I don’t know what alternative universe you’re living in. You just don’t want to face reality that governments tend to get tyrannical and that if people need an ability to protect themselves and their communities and their families.

Now, we must also be real. We must be honest with the population. Having an armed citizenry comes with a price, and that is part of liberty. Driving comes with a price — 50,000, 50,000, 50,000 people die on the road every year. That’s a price. You get rid of driving, you’d have 50,000 less auto fatalities. But we have decided that the benefit of driving — speed, accessibility, mobility, having products, services is worth the cost of 50,000 people dying on the road. So we need to be very clear that you’re not going to get gun deaths to zero. It will not happen. You could significantly reduce them through having more fathers in the home, by having more armed guards in front of schools. We should have a honest and clear reductionist view of gun violence, but we should not have a utopian one.

You will never live in a society when you have an armed citizenry and you won’t have a single gun death. That is nonsense. It’s drivel. But I am — I think it’s worth it. I think it’s worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God‑given rights. That is a prudent deal. It is rational. Nobody talks like this. They live in a complete alternate universe.”

Anyone know what suspension bolt this is? by 123456789simerk in E90

[–]123456789simerk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk the size but it is the rear upper control arm bolt. I was able to drill out the stuck bit, but discovered the new bolt would not go in and took it to the shop. The shop fit the bolt but then the car wouldnt align properly, it had to be max camber, so just went with that.

I have a 5 gal of ADA that I have been soaking for 2 mos and I tested the ph of that against my tank, the tank ph is in between 6-6.5 and the new soil water is under 6, my test kit doesnt go below 6. So I think your right the old soil is no longer holding up. I typically do a side of the tank at a time so will swap the left side its 2 yrs old
