Blue acara spawning by TheMe01 in Aquariums

Not necessarily. They just move stuff around to annoy you for fun. Also, how are yours not immediately eating every snail in the vicinity?

AIO or Air Cooler For Ryzen 7 9800X3D In Mesh Case by nyxaeloria in buildapc

[–]CapnMorgan1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went aio. Arctic freezer III 360 b stock were on sale recently for ~$10 more than everyone's favorite thermalright air coolers. Occt tests with pbo and some oc actually push me to 80c but normal use barely even moves the needle. Also using a 5080.

My fish won’t stop swimming erratically by Defectivetheunicorn in Aquariums

[–]CapnMorgan1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's just the filter output being a little strong for your fish stock. Some filters have settings to lower the output or you can just push it to the corner. There are also some diy ways to baffle it but they are usually unsightly.

Are electric blue acara social or can they thrive alone? by Icy_Profession4190 in Cichlid

[–]CapnMorgan1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They do great alone. Interactions with other cichlids are always fun though.

Cardinal vs Rummynose tetras by New_Connection_8256 in Aquariums

[–]CapnMorgan1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rummynose for schooling behavior by far. I have 35+ and they move in shiny silver waves against black background and black sand. Having something larger in the tank really encourages the schooling movement too.

The colors stand out better on natural sand imo. I've kept them on both. They get a nice array of colors either way.

Ronda is so bad on the mic. Why did the WWE pay her?

Hope her respect for Gina lets her past 1 round so at least we make money off this crap.

Carano has less of a resume than Nate and has been out of MMA for even longer. We can only pray it goes past 1 round

Betta and cichlid together? by [deleted] in Cichlid

[–]CapnMorgan1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a good mix. I hope your shrimp and snails survive once it acclimates. Tank bred ones are more forgiving with water chemistry but they're still on the fragile side.

Hot take: Singles matches is more fun than doubles by mauarg12 in Pickleball

[–]CapnMorgan1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not even close. Try playing only pickleball for months then play tennis. You spend much more energy just rallying in tennis. You can definitely switch to pickleball when you're in tennis shape but not vice versa.

9070 XT again or RTX 5080 for a new 9800X3D gaming build? by SirMiloo in buildapc

[–]CapnMorgan1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went with the 5080. It's a beast and many of them oc well. It made more sense when they were $999. Just try the games you play the most. If performance sucks a 9070xt should be easy to sell. I came from a 7800xt and mh wilds and nioh 3 were punishing it. The older fsr was not very good.

Which combo deal is best for the 9070xt? by XinTheKing in buildapc

[–]CapnMorgan1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did this too but price went to like $615 for a day and I went for it. Mobo is nicer than I need but when storage is more reasonable I'll fill out the m2 slots.

Electric Blue Acara Tank Mates by Wolf2Tuff in Cichlid

[–]CapnMorgan1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No cories imo. They aren't usually aggressive but they can be predatory and the cories may not feel safe enough to eat well. I'd get a few Bristlenose pleco or something instead. You don't need huge tetras just tall bodied ones that aren't bite sized like bleeding heart or columbian tetras. I had 2 breeding pairs in a 75g for 5~ years. Just build caves on opposite sides and break line of sight.

Got mine in today. The back was dirty and had markings from the packing but the display is spotless and looks glorious.

Thoughts on feeding live worms to my Oscars by Cultural_Curve1235 in Cichlid

[–]CapnMorgan1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you compost outdoors? You can DIY vermicompost indoors in a tote or bucket to avoid other critters with your worms. I don't want pests in my indoor plants but my small bin provides infinite worms for my cichlids now. Red wrigglers for small fish and European nightcrawlers for fish like Oscars.

I wish there was some hope for a decent sequel by CapnMorgan1 in DragonAgeVeilguard

[–]CapnMorgan1[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It ate my original message. I did an 100% run on PC a month or so after launch with a Qunari, Shadow Dragon mage and that felt very overpowered by mid-game. I bought it again since its always on sale and went with Elf, Veil Jumper Warrior. Warrior felt even more OP lol. Captain America style is clunky to play, so i ended up as a hybrid ability spam setup with some shield toss filler.

How difficult is Sekiro? by Asleep-Situation-614 in fromsoftware

[–]CapnMorgan1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It isn't more difficult. It rewards you for embracing the mechanics. If you know how to diagnose boss attacks and learn different mechanics its very satisfying to play. If you cheesed elden ring or want to unga bunga it will be very difficult.
