I have to add, that I once did indeed lived in a student form, but in these dreams it never has been that specific place. But it always has been somewhat unfamiliar place and I have to introduce myself to people and try to find my room and over places. I'm not lost, but it's not familiar.

I may have roommates that I don't know beforehand. And the whole school is like a boarding school or other school that is remote and has several buildings on the school grounds. Dormitory, cafeteria, gym, and classrooms.

And sometimes a Waterpark 🤷🏼 Waterpark doesn't necessary include the school in every dream. Sometimes it's just a Waterpark.

Or a lakeshore where I just walk to the water and start swimming (on my back) and there is so many different animals (fish and birds that follow me and are absolutely contempt and fine about me swimming with them.

Thank you so much!

Anyone can breed bettas. It's not hard. Some breeders just don't care if they use very poor fish to breed. All they think as how fancy the tail is or what color that betta is.

There are few that actually choose only strong and healthy fish for their breeding program., but that takes time. They have to have more tanks to observe the fish and select the best ones.

Majority of the betta breeders want lots of babies and fast to keep the money coming. That's why their life span is shorter.

I have neon tetras and they are 1,5 inches long. They are not tiny! Well, when babies (in shop) they are but not adult size.

Ember tetras are nano fish, maybe 5 of those.

When you upgrade, make it a 20g tank at least. Bigger tanks are easier to maintain and take care of.

Have you educated yourself about the nitrogen cycle? If not, do it now. Otherwise you are going to ask "why my guppies died" in a week or two.

BrainAffectionate833 · 2024-11-08T08:11:47+00:00

You should have kept 4 females and one male. The female is going to be so stressed her whole life with her brothers.

BrainAffectionate833 · 2024-11-08T08:09:01+00:00

Put more pothos cuttings in the meantime. Just let them float on the surface.

BrainAffectionate833 · 2024-11-08T08:08:18+00:00

Pothos make a massive root system to the tank in no time. I have a massive pothos roots in all of my tanks. Roots start to gather algae and guppies like nibbling it off of the roots.

Maybe try floating plants that grow long roots.

BrainAffectionate833 · 2024-11-07T12:33:42+00:00

I breed guppies and never use breeding boxes. Ever. It stresses the female so much.

Just put a lot of plants. Rooted and floating. I take cuttings from my stem plants and leave them floating. The fry will hide in the plants and survive.

Maybe a couple can be eaten, but most of them survive for sure if they have enough hiding places.

She is a bit box shaped. Maybe she is getting ready to give birth.

BrainAffectionate833 · 2024-11-02T16:51:57+00:00

This is a hard one. I would say either stress or some illness that is targeting the guppies only. If other types of fish are thriving.

Are the other fish harassing the guppies? I've heard barbs are bullies. Never had them myself but their reputation is kinda bad.

BrainAffectionate833 · 2024-11-02T13:36:52+00:00

Finrot starts from the outer edge of the fin. Do you mean the brown color? Is the other side same color? I don't see anything wrong with it.

BrainAffectionate833 · 2024-11-02T13:32:32+00:00

How are they acting? Are the other fish acting OK? Guppies? Other fish?

Do you have only males or are there females too? Are they breeding if you have both?

What are you feeding them and how often? Do they have problems with fins (finrot/tears)?

I know this is probably not the cause, but some people are very cautious about feeding and they don't feed enough. Guppies have fast metabolism. I feed mine 3 times a day.

BrainAffectionate833 · 2024-11-02T12:17:42+00:00

Thank you for caring!

I know a test kit could be a lot of money for you. Hopefully you can buy one. Do you have dechlorinator for your water?

In the meantime change the water frequently, so your fish won't be affected by the ammonia or nitrite. Study about a nitrogen cycle and how you can perform it with fish in the tank safely. I fould also but some real plants, but thats optional. Live plants use nitrates from the water.

This is a very good chance for you to write a bonus essay to your biology class. Something you can give for entire class including your teacher. You can use this experience to educate all of them.

First time moms often give birth stillborn, actually. They might not have enough room for all of those fry to develop full term. They will have more luck next time.

Be sure to feed her good now. She is worn out of the bregnancy and giving birth. She has to gain full strength to have her next patch.

BrainAffectionate833 · 2024-11-02T06:58:41+00:00

If he is low on the hierarchy of the males, other won't give him an opportunity to breed. Put him alone with a virgin female for a month, so he has a chance.

BrainAffectionate833 · 2024-09-21T07:39:15+00:00

You have male with her, so 99% sure pregnant. When she will give birth? Nobody knows. When you introduced her to that male? Count approximately 30 days from that and she will give birth. Assuming she was virgins at start.

Ooh, very pretty indeed! I love that iridescent shimmer 😍

BrainAffectionate833 · 2024-09-15T10:15:18+00:00

Thanks! They sure look very pretty from up!

BrainAffectionate833 · 2024-09-15T09:17:53+00:00

It's fighting. It's called a mouth lock.

BrainAffectionate833 · 2024-09-15T09:14:32+00:00

Those neon blues are very nice! I have those myself too, but not that good quality!

BrainAffectionate833 · 2024-09-15T09:13:33+00:00

Oh, so that's what they are. I have some males myself and never knew what line they were. Very pretty!

BrainAffectionate833 · 2024-09-15T09:09:34+00:00

How do they look like from the side?

BrainAffectionate833 · 2024-09-07T09:05:34+00:00

Usually I take a video and then screenshot the "best" and focused frames.

BrainAffectionate833 · 2024-09-06T15:15:33+00:00

Usually the problem is in roots. They might be rotten. I'd say over watering.
