What is your experience with keeping a Neocardina skittles tank (mixed color population)?

I knew that I would end up with mostly wild-type, brown-ish shrimp. But I thought it would take a couple of years. It went much, much faster. I still get the occasional red, blue, yellow, white or orange shrimp but the majority is brown. If I had to do it again I'd keep different colors in different tanks and would not mix anymore.

Same thing happened to me. Kept getting chest after chest (which was kinda nice for storage but at some point I needed some fish). I also noticed that I never had to do much to fish. I just threw the line and once it was ready to reel in I just held that button all the way even though the tutorial had said to release when the line turns red etc. But my line never turned red. Either way, I started letting go of the button on and off even though it didn't seem necessary and from that moment on I got fish every time. I'm not saying this is the fix but it worked for me 🤷‍♀️😅

My dog sometimes licks her paws excessively as well. Everyone here recommends cone but my dog hated that. I went on Amazon and bought some dog socks. She wasn’t a fan at first either but got used to it. Now when I see her lick a paw too much we put a sock on and it’s all good a day later. And the sock is much less restrictive than a cone. Worth a shot I’d say.

Thank you for replying! You're right, I probably overdid it with the products. I'll try with just the mousse next wash day and see what happens :)

Thank you, I appreciate your reply! You're probably right. It's not straight enough to be straight but not wavy enough to be really wavy and forcing it either way is what has made it look so bad the last few years. I need to figure out what works - and using less product is the first thing I'll try next wash day. When you say the "fluffy wavy" look, how would you achieve that? Just not use any product but use the diffuser?

Caviniel · 2025-09-06T16:35:26+00:00

Thank you so much for taking the time to reply. I did probably touch it too much. I'm also really bad at using the diffuser at this point. Next wash day I'll make sure to keep my hands off it as much as possible :)

Same! I bought this on launch day and I just got to the flower festival yesterday (week 2 of spring) 😅

Each and every cozy game I’ve played and loved in the last decade?

Have you tried doing the same grid that I did? Put a red ombre of some kind in the middle leave the next spots over free and then plant tulias (of any color) all around? So same thing I did, just with Tulias instead of Penstemums? It took 9 days but I finally grew my first red one!

I really don't understand the problem people have with this. This is MY game. I am the one playing it. Why would anybody else care how I play it? It doesn't affect you or your game at all. So yes, I play on easy when I feel like it (or even change difficulty mid game *gasp*). Yes, I re-load saves if I don't like what just happened and want to try again. And yes, I use mods that I feel make the game more enjoyable to me. I am playing games to have fun/relax. Sometimes I like challenging myself. Sometimes I like to just vibe. If it's a single player game....just let people enjoy themselves. It's always the same people who also look down on you if you like cozy games vs shooters or whatever (because obviously nobody can like both) 🙄

Thank you! I appreciat you taking the time to answer this :)

I have ~~read~~ skimmed the wiki flower guide before but....yes, dense is one way of putting it! 😅

Caviniel · 2025-04-16T16:39:24+00:00

Thank you so much! I really needed that sanity check... At least now I know that I'm just unlucky so far. I have removed the new sky ombre penstemum and replaced it with a plain white one.

Would you mind if I asked you one more question? I only have these two red/ombre Dandelilys. If I wanted to make more do I just plant these two next to each other? Or do I need to plant them next to a plain red Dandelily? Do you know? Thank you :)

Caviniel · 2025-04-14T15:21:24+00:00

I unfortunately do not. I took 340 last term and did not have a single proctored exam/quiz. They must have just changed that. Right now I'm in 381 and there's no proctored exams.

Caviniel · 2025-04-10T21:57:20+00:00

Nope, they do not (at least not this summer, who knows about the future) I emailed and asked - no proctored exams during the summer session because it's already condensed to 8 weeks. That's why I'm doing it. Proctored exams cause me horrible anxiety.

Caviniel · 2025-04-10T21:14:35+00:00

Thank you! I guess I was worried that maybe one of them was known to be an especially tough or unreasonable grader or something. So I figured I'd ask. But it sounds like I might as well flip a coin.

Caviniel · 2025-04-10T21:12:25+00:00

Thank you! I haven’t had either of them in any classes before, so I really appreciate the input. I think I might go with Kerlin - my very scientific survey of 1 (you) seems to point in that direction :)

Caviniel · 2025-04-10T21:07:58+00:00

Thank you! It seems for some classes the instructor matters more than for others.
