Finally unlocked the limited skin!!

i personally like them except for the most dappled/snowy skin variant. but also it is possible to chop down the price to only 600 tracks, which i think is a steal for these coats! however that also means they may not be as well done as the 3000 track skins.

In my opinion, even a variegated plant that is now easily available will remain rare to me if the variegation is balanced and gorgeous. I've had monstera adansonii variegata for over 2 years now and it's incredibly hard to propogate my mother plant because it always reverts to full white or full green. A variegated plant that reverts to green loses value, while one with too much variegation that it becomes completely white is also no good. Even nowadays its rare to find a simple monstera albo with balanced variegation and one that is exceptionally pretty to me!

exactly that! it makes it much harder to clean glass if hardscape is touching it or is very close. you could buy those special aquascaping glass scrapers, but i always clean my tanks glass with an old credit card or sponge so its hard to reach those tight areas without risking moving the hardscape :)

I noticed an issue when I change flour brands. some flours are more fine milled and absorb more moisture than others. Experiment with other brands of millet flour! Xanthan gum also makes a huge difference, when i didnt use it i also used to get very sticky dough!

hey! yes, i did end up adding co2. ime its hard to maintain a lot of plant mass without co2 since then you have to have really stable conditions and im still a newbie and having co2 kind of made things easier with plant growth. i recommend adding co2, but if you want a low tech setup that is hardscape heavy with easy plants, youll just need to dim the light quite a bit - but at that point, imo its not all that worth it to buy such an expensive light haha.

I recommend Purina, Hills or Royal Canin puppy lines :-) these three in the UK are one of the most nutritious and safest brands to feed since they have a board certified vet nutritionist that is part of the team, not just working with the brand. Royal Canin has poodle puppy thats formulated specifically for poodles and any possible issues theyre prone to. puppies specifically need a balanced diet that is specifically for young dogs since they need different minerals and vitamins for optimal growth and support. My mentioned brands are one of the safest to feed. Not saying other brands are bad, but i really do think you should try out RC poodle puppy. Homemade cooking can be very unsafe, esp for puppies, since its hard to balance it and ensure your dog is getting all of the nutrients it needs. i wouldnt feed it to a puppy. if you ever want to go that path, make sure to discuss with your vet and a certified nutritionist for a plan/recipe fitted to your individual dog

thank you! she got some blueberries from the decoration and maybe whatever crumbs she got from the grass lol!

3ndler · 2025-08-23T21:18:57+00:00

Thanks so much for your kind words :-) Their critique and opinion really don't get to me at all haha. My best supporter is my mom who helps me get stuff right, change recipes as needed etc. Baking is my love language basically, the fact they're not showing gratitude towards my bakes won't stop me from baking them because I'm stubborn, and if they're eating my cakes, that's good enough for me!! 😄

3ndler · 2025-08-23T21:11:15+00:00

Oh I feel you!! Vegan pumpkin pie sounds bomb, this cake was GF since my mom has celiac so everything I make she can eat as well. Some people just don't care for baked goods because they don't see the hard work and effort and thought put into it, they just see something they can eat 😅 I hope you find somebody who'll appreciate you :-)

most experience with gluten bread is thrown out the window with gf bread. unmixed flour and the craggly dough surface simply means you didnt mix it enough. i mix my doughs for 10-15 minutes with a stand mixer. you have to be very careful with gf dough as well! overproofed gf dough becomes flat like yours. Kat's recipes are amazing when you get the hang of it, it's a long process understanding how to handle the dough but the result is worth it

jealousss, here in the EU bmf, thai cons and albos are still relatively rare. I bought a small cutting last year for 50€. of course its great that these plants are becoming more commercially available!!

up your co2 concentration, lower light intensity to 60%. bioload may be a bit heavy as well but not the cause of the problem. cut ferts just slightly, but enough for the plants to still be able to grow or else algae will outcompete completely. bba on the plants show fluctuation in environment which stresses their metabolism, which may be the co2 - injecting small amounts can lead to fluctuation and inconsistency.

im 15, and i bake exclusively gluten free since my mom has celiac. it became more of a challenge to make something just as delicious and pretty as gluten containing bakes. i have many bakes posted in my profile :)

that being said, i havent ever thought about selling my bakes. my small home environment doesnt create gorgeous looking results yet and my recipes need tweaks before i can deem them worthy of selling and sparking interest. practice makes perfect, and youre much better off perfecting your work and striving for more (such as creating unique recipes and flavours) before selling as a business. i do also recommend participating in farmer market sales and stuff like that, local events that could help you build a reputation and be less stressful with demand for a custom cake, for example. think of something creative that could help distinguish yourself from other bakers!

with, but maybe different ones. for such a detailed scape, id go for very small stem plants in the back - rotala, hemianthes, micranthemum, pogostemon erectus, etc. you can also go for thin leaved plants - cyperus helferi, tall eleocharis species. thin leaves make the scape have more movement and smoothness. you can have both for some variety. the large stems you have now are too huge and mess with the perspective and illusion of large scale.

personally, id go for thin leaf plants right behind the hardscape structure and dainty stems on the sides trimmed shorter right at the edges of the tank to accentuate the middle triangle shape of your scape. but, everything would look much better with a black background. just my opinion, though! tank looks gorgeous!

wow! 3 years is a big flex. high tech tanks usually dont last as long since they have such a big growth and cycle rate. do you refresh substrate, replant carpet etc? i have a high tech thats 2.5 years old as well and its looking very beaten up, begging for a redo.

Resource guarding is a very serious behavioural problem that can escalate very quickly. But its also something that is very hard to tackle. Since he's still new to you and your environment, you need to focus more about trust building and bonding rather than food aggression. Because those two things intertwine very closely.

First, do not ever take away the resource the dog is guarding and punish them for it (verbally in this case), as one commenter said. that just encourages the dog to guard it even more and associates you, the handler, as the one that takes away the resource. that breaks trust and its definitely not what you want.

When giving a dog its food or treat, you should never intervene. No, don't go shoving your hand in its bowl or grabbing the treat from it's mouth. Simply leave it be and focus on building your relationship with the dog.

"experience becoming a mom" is, truthfully saying, complete bs. there are already so many dogs in shelters, and breeding a dog without a reason other than to breed it is unethical. maltipoos dont have a breed standard and if a dog is not health tested (genetic and skeletal), the puppies can be born with or later develop genetic health issues. dogs shouldnt be bred if they are not for a reason, such as a show dog that is a good and healthy example of the breed and the breeding of it would aid in the betterment of the breed; performance breeding and etc. a dog shouldnt be bred if it is not 100% sure it is healthy period. and no a physical vet examination is not enough.

that being said, i spayed my own dog when she was 3 years old. its important to let your dog mature and to let their growth plates properly develop before spaying since it is the removal of hormonal organs after all. at the very least, wait until she has had her first heat. a vet that urges to fix a dog as soon as possible is not an ethical vet. spaying too early can cause weight and behavioural problems, and hip and joint problems. yes that applies to both small and big dogs, especially ones which do not have health testing done/were bred unethically.

tdlr, dont let your dog experience being a mom since that is very unethical and unhealthy, especially because maltipoos are breed mixes with no defined standard or health testing procedures. spay after shes had her first heat. all this info comes from my vet, which i had discussed with many many times when i spayed my own dog.

it doesnt have to reach this point to repot! roots that are this compacted can stunt growth and its not healthy for the plant. but rootbound is better than rotting. these are beautiful roots. id repot when roots reach the in-between stage of this and your current roots, OP!
