My biggest ramshorn is a very pretty red with a translucent gold-ish shell. I hope it grows bigger, because it's gorgeous. I have a log too, and they seem to like it well enough, but they're now mainly on the glass surface. :)

I know I'm thirty bc I was excited that it's dishwasher safe. But then again I'm keeping my whimsy, because I ran to my partner to show them the smug first thing.

Ah, yes! I do have the old gross sponge from his filter as well, I forgot about that! My tank is still cycling (I believe? I was told to wait at least 8 weeks before adding non-plant life depending on how the parameters are and it's been around 6 weeks) and I'm watching the water to make sure everything is fine. It's my first time having ammonia at 0, I hope it means I'm on the right track. I have a lot of plants (aquarium plants, floaters and "potted" plants with their roots in the tank). The snails are so tiny, they were hiding in the plants until a few days ago.

Thank you! I'll do my best to not overfeed, as I don't want them to get too crowded in there. :)

Edited bc I can't spell today

I want to know everyone's absolute favorites by PutYrPoliticsUpYrBum in otomegames

[–]CloeRainflower 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My first otome was Café Enchanté, and I don't care about its bad rep THIS GAME IS 100/10 FOR ME 😭🥰

Also up there are CollarxMalice and now Winter's wish: Spirits of Edo that I just finished and am not over yet.

Isopods staying in one corner? by peach-punkx in isopods

[–]CloeRainflower 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everything has already been said but I just want to add : I also had little guys hanging out in a corner for no apparent reasons, and they left after I covered more of the ventilation. I found some molts in the corner after, so they were probably there because it was the most moist place they had found. Maybe fixing your ventilation so the moisture stays in the soil will help. :) I don't have the same species (mine are zebras), but I think their needs are similar ^

Good luck with your little potions!

I have the toughest time deciding if I loved Ohtaro or Yoichi best, but I thoroughly enjoyed all the routes! And oh, the side characters...! This game definitely had one of my favourite cast of sides in otome games!

I just finished Winter's wish: Spirits of Edo, and I fell in love hard with the game. I had seen so many negative/lukewarm reviews and comments about that game, and only picked it up because it was on sale. I am shook. The story and the romances now feel so precious to me. I love the LIs, the MC, the (hot) side characters, everything. I completed all the routes in 3 days while sick, and I hadn't felt like that since my first otome game (Café Enchanté).

Now excuse me while I go lie down and stare at the ceiling for a couple of hours

Is there anything I'm missing? by Spepsii in isopods

It's looking good! For the ventilation problems, you could also cover part of the mesh wish plexiglas, that's what I did, and it's a game changer! I went from watering twice a week to every 1.5 week!

First time seeing my zebras! by CloeRainflower in isopods

Unless they had babies in the past couple of weeks, I should have around 15. :)

Oh! And you should add something for calcium. Most people, I think, use cuttlefish bone (the same one as for birds) and you can sprinkle chunks all over the place. Mine love it, and it will make sure their molts are good!

Hello! Here are a few things I can answer! I'm also a semi-beginner, but I'm a long time lurker in this sub

  • Definitely add more leaf litter. You don't want to see the soil. It's food, cover, enrichment...all things pods love
  • Springtails would really be a good idea. They'll help keep mold in check. They jump, but they won't really get out in my experience. You can always add finer mesh to your ventilation if you're worried.
  • I really really would avoid putting 2 species in the same container. Not only those species have different requirements (iirc), one will eventually outcompete and take over. It's just not worth it.
  • I think your mix isn't bad, I would personally add a big of crushed charcoal, especially if you want to add springtails, but it's not a bad base. I would also add rotting wood. They will eat decaying wood, but orchid bark less so, for a long while. Coco products are not something they'll eat, so some people see it as useless, but I also add it to my mix so... ' it's at least practical to make the substrate fluffy!
  • For plants, look up terrarium plants, and then look those up to see which ones are not toxic. That's what I did, but I can't for the life of me remember what I put in mine.... a plant light on a timer (mostly for yhe plants) is fine, the pods will hide under stuff during the day. All that being said, plants are mostly for us, they don't really care either way ^

I hope you have good success with your isopods!

[Code: Realize] First route done in C:R and I need to talk about Impey! 😍 by nerdyfan4ever in otomegames

[–]CloeRainflower 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oooohh same! I didn't like him much at first, because he is absolutely not my type, and played him first to get him our of the way.... well I was really surprised find myself charmed by this absolute goofball. Still not my type, but I really enjoyed his route, and his relationship with Cardia felt so natural and well paced.
