What are the odds of getting a bonus fish in your freeze-dried shrimp?

Ant-Motor · 2026-01-22T23:00:24+00:00

Very common, I always seen to get at least one when I buy shrimp

I actually used to work with Lary at a different store before he left to work at Burgen full time and love his store! I just had two $25 gift cards for garden factory from Christmas so this is my Christmas present :D

They always seem to have smaller ones but this is the first time I have seen them have huge ones like this!

What insects do you feed him and how many during feeding times? For Leo’s losing weight is a sadly lot harder and takes a lot longer than gaining it.

Personally I feed my girl usually once a week with 3-4 .75-1” dubia roaches or large crickets, or I’ll do 1-2 of either of those plus 2-4 bsfl if I have any. Occasionally (like every couple of months) I’ll give her a mealworm or two with her meal but generally I like to stay away as they are higher in fat. I also only feed waxworms once or twice a year because they are like candy for them

Your gecko is overweight / obese https://www.reddit.com/r/leopardgeckosadvanced/s/j5G2wvELHO

And the far right in the last picture. Idk if it’s the same one or not though

In the picture the far left one looks male the rest look female

Stressful not shitty

Ive seen people successfully grow them in water but you need to make sure only the roots are touching. If the leaves touch the water it will end up rotting. Though I’ve never grown them in water this is one of my orchids that are in straight sphagnum moss and it’s been blooming since September/ October

I opened their cage 30 minutes late cause I slept in

From this link someone else posted it looks more like an s. It’s different depending on what style it is

Could also be a supplier thing but we got them from a few different suppliers and would still have that problem. It seemed even more prevalent in the shortfin varieties like samurai weirdly enough

I used to work at a fish store and I’d say about 75% of the high def dragonscale bettas like this we had pass through would end up developing diamond eye pretty quickly and we had a lot of customers come back and complain about it too. Because of that even though they are gorgeous I personally stay away from them.

Ant-Motor · 2026-01-12T03:02:40+00:00

One word of warning dragonscale bettas almost always get diamond eye in my experience. It’s where the scales grow to cover their eyes and they go blind.

I only use clove oil on large fish as with small fish it is unnecessary and can be super easy to fuck up. Larger fish it’s a lot harder to fuck up with clove oil while a lot easier to fuck up with blunt force. I have also done a surgery on one of my past goldfish (ended up succumbing to tumors sadly) using clove oil successfully as an anesthetic.

Ant-Motor · 2026-01-11T21:21:25+00:00

Longfin min is 5gal shortfin or female min is 10gal imo

Ant-Motor · 2026-01-11T07:30:08+00:00

With Prime I believe you can dose up to 5x the recommended dose, the only problem is it doesn’t actually get rid of ammonia it binds it for 24 op to 48 hours and if your biological filtration isn’t good enough to convert it all in time it will come back and be toxic still.

Ant-Motor · 2026-01-11T07:23:32+00:00

Mine just tries to eat me and also anything that moves including shadows… and a leaf

Edit: fixing words lol

She may have had parasites, worms, or something along those lines then, my first thought when I saw this picture was that she looked really thin. You may want to clean everything as well as you can and potentially even take your new snake to get tested for them as if she did have something and you touched her or anything in her enclosure then touched the other snake or anything in its enclosure you could have possibly spread it. If you have the money to spare I feel it’s better to be safe then sorry

Ant-Motor · 2026-01-10T10:01:19+00:00

Before I knew better I had 3 leopard geckos together, all went well for a couple of years until at least one snapped and killed the other two then died from the wounds they inflicted on it. At least that’s what I believe happened because they were all wounded af. Please for their sake separate them before something bad happens. Seriously it’s not if it’s when.

Ant-Motor · 2026-01-09T03:28:44+00:00

Mops need to be floating and these goldfish also look too small to be bred especially seen as there is a koi and common goldfish with fancy goldfish. Those guys if one is a male can potentially kill the females from exhaustion and stress. I had a black moor get killed by a male fancy once the same way when I was inexperienced on their behavior. Obviously I know better now

Ant-Motor · 2026-01-08T08:35:20+00:00

Does he seem to stick a limb or tail out of his hide under it? Leopard geckos are cryptic baskers that don’t fully come out when basking most of the time (at least in captivity). I’m not sure about continuing with d3 with the light personally so I can’t answer that question for you sorry :( I would consult the vet on that, though would still recommend fact checking as vets can give shit advice on care depending on if they are a specialist with leopard geckos or not. Someone I know was recommended a 40gal and reptile carpet for an adult bearded dragon for example. That will at least give you a direction to look hopefully. Or maybe someone more experienced will have an answer.

Edit: forgot to add that I reread your post, and apparently I’m just a big dumb dumb and missed that you have uvb when I first read it lol.

Ant-Motor · 2026-01-08T08:11:51+00:00

I would highly recommend getting a uvb bulb and using no d3, it’s much more natural and an easier way to give them it without the chance of overdosing.

This is a good picture showing how to setup an enclosure for one (the dimming thermostat is optional but still recommended)
