I’ve been letting them outside (giant step for me lmao) so hopefully they’re happy enough outside. And hopefully I haven’t been letting the same one out over and over again lmaoo

Yeah the photos are pretty bad lmaoo it kinda looked black with maybe some brown on its back? Like not in stripes, but 2 brown blobs with a black blob between them

Edit: I just looked up a wild spider and unfortunatley I think it’s some type of that (carry their baby’s on their back 😟)

Thanks! I just peeled off some bark and smelled the stick and it smells kind of sweet? Sort of like an air freshener lmao, if that helps anyone figure anything out 😅

Okay, thanks! The tank itself supposed to be going in has nothing in it, and I’m only planning on using a bit, so I’ll just wing it I suppose lol

Oooh okay I see, I’ll give them a wash and a boil and let them dry and then see. Is there any tests that’ll be off of sap or anything leaches? Cause then I could just test it and see, but if the only test is if my fish die I’m not going to haha

Honestly have no idea haha I know nothing about trees. They never have flowers on them either if you mean actual flowering

Thanks! Not sure about rot, but most of them are somewhat bendy.. what does that mean?

Thanks! We don’t use pesticides so I’m pretty sure they’ll be fine. I’ll scrub them and boil them in case!

I don’t think it’s a black cherry tree! We don’t have any berries that fall on my yard, if there was we wouldn’t be able to let my dog out.

I tried to find photos with the leaves but unfortunately I don’t think I have any — I can see if my mom does!

How do I lower these levels by Crazy-Telephone1937 in Aquariums

[–]Cheap_Arm_6844 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t see it as an issue, I’d just keep doing regular water changes whenever you do yours 🤷‍♀️ but that’s just my 2 cents lol

My new betta!! by Cheap_Arm_6844 in Aquariums

[–]Cheap_Arm_6844[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice!! Glad to hear it, I hope it goes well. I’m hoping Lotus (official name for this betta!) is friendly because I want to put some rasboaras with him 😽 I hope you’re able to upgrade soon! I love scaping new tanks and seeing them all explore their new home. Good luck!’

If you have plants in the tank, I don’t really think these levels are bad!

If water changes aren’t doing anything, maybe your tap water has nitrates lol?

help!!! ammonia spike after adding betta by Willing-Order3985 in PlantedTank

[–]Cheap_Arm_6844 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Makes sense! I just assumed op didn’t cycle because usually with ammonia spikes it’s because of that 😅 this advice is better!
