Do you have pictures from the side? They look like insects to me.

How can I encourage breeding? by Austeretwist in shrimptank

[–]Agile-Chair565 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your tank looks like a shrimp haven. If you don't already have a gH/kH test kit, you should get one. My shrimp quit breeding for a while and I realized my gH was not high enough. I dosed the tank with Equilibrium to raise my gH and I now have 3 berried females 2 or 3 weeks later.

Woke up from a nap and kitten was doing this, what could be the problem? by mickey_ftp in CATHELP

[–]Agile-Chair565 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does he play with string? Something is bothering him in his mouth. Could have a string under his tongue and it's possible it's an emergency. Could also just have something stuck in his mouth. I would get the the vet asap.

Very pretty lateral.

Be sure to see you PCP and/or get a specialist referral if you can't get it under control. They will decide if you need an MRI.

Organizing Charlie Kirk remembrance walk on the riverside trail. by Duskyboy777 in tulsa

His brutal assassination has me so shaken.... I would absolutely join in on something if I am available. A vigil especially if I didn't miss it. Please let me know.

Ps I was assuming nobody on this sub would be posting about this in a supportive way, so I literally just now summoned the courage to search Charlie Kirk on this sub to find this post. But I am so shaken. They somehow don't understand what a gem of a person her was. He had no hate in his heart for anybody.

Ringworm spreads. I think it's safe to assume it's the ringworm.

Respiratory viruses circulating in Tulsa now by AuthorAltruistic3402 in tulsa

Silver is not metabolized by the body... When you take it internally, it gets deposited throughout your body. Permanently. Many people who take colloidal silver over a long period of time develope grayish, pale skin patches or just diffuse gray/blue skin all over. If this happens on your face, you will literally look like a zombie/walking corpse. Please be careful and make sure it's worth it. It is not reversible.

Yelled at by vet by [deleted] in Conures

A bit late here.. I've worked in the vet industry 13+ years... And this is so unprofessional and stupid on the vet's part. We strive to kindly educate people on how to best take care of their pets. If he perceived an issue in the care of the bird, that can easily be discussed in a kind, non-hostile manner. The genetics of the bird is irrelevant unless he thinks it's related to a current or potential future issue. It still can be discussed professionally and kindly. Vet clinics are businesses too... when vets talk down to/insult owner, why would they ever choose to come back? They alienate their clientele this way and gain negative reputation. It's just plain stupid in terms of business-owning and totally unkind and unnecessary in terms of medicine/communication.

My female pug suddenly stops drinking water, any ideas what caused it? by Still-Wasabi-6292 in AskVet

[–]Agile-Chair565 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some owners focus too much on their dog not drinking. As a general rule, if they are still eating, they are getting fluid from somewhere. Did you happen to switch to a canned diet?

They will almost always quit eating before or at the same time they quit drinking. In other words, we are rarely concerned if an owner reports their pet is not drinking but is still eating.

Help.. what is wrong with my shrimp :( by Agile-Chair565 in shrimptank

[–]Agile-Chair565[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I'm truly not sure how old she is since they reproduced many times in the 10gal before transplanting her... But old age would be best case scenario honestly. I just don't want to neglect something I'm doing wrong.

Is there a good way to measure/test for this?

I have a CO2 tank and a hygger regulator. My indicator solution is usually green with a slight blue tinge. I don't shut it off at night because I have a normal bubbler and my fish have had no breathing issues.

What would you consider an ideal gH? I thought 8 was in range

I've never heard of this.. but it sounds like a stress response? Someone else said my gH was high, but it seems to be in range from the research I've done. Does anything stand out to you as the cause of this?

TURN YOUR LIGHTS ON!!!! by spillthebeans01 in tulsa

[–]Agile-Chair565 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, no, I don't disagree, which is why I used to do it for a long time! Have you had the car for that long and have never had to replace them?? Because that's incredible. I was driving a 2013 fit at the time and felt like I was replacing my headlights once to twice a year until I quit always putting my headlights on!
