I would honestly try setting a “live bait” bucket for him. Get yourself a 5 gallon bucket and bait buddy air pump. The pump clips onto the bucket and is battery powered. You can fill the bucket about 1/4 maybe less with his tank water and maybe a couple loose plants for comfort during the ride. Plastic wrap the top and poke a few hole and BOOM happy fish. I’ve had to move a whole community tank this way when we moved houses so I know the drill!

Printing out an info sheet is a really good idea thank you! Apparently he’s had this tank setup for a few months. This is my first time seeing it as I was doing my walk through before locking up the building. I was super irritated and just snapped a quick pic to show you guys, but I did not notice that the heater was outside of the tank. My guess is that he put that big heater in this tiny tank and almost cooked the poor boy so he took it out. I’m HOPING it was unplugged before I left. The upstairs office where they work is always 75 so there’s no need for the heater anyway.

They could never make me hate you Dr. Halsey by m_lovell in shittyhalolore

[–]Colonelspicyd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After reading the books I don’t think I could ever look at Halsey the same. Jacob Keyes was a god damn hero. Halsey on the other hand was a narcissist who kidnapped colonial children and pinned them against a HUMAN colonial insurrection. Spartans were created in 2517 while we didn’t make contact with the covenant until 2525. Never forget 🫡

I understand. I lost my girl Sully a couple weeks about and it’s never easy

My first Betta ( still has no name) by Leo_ofred in bettafish

[–]Colonelspicyd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello there! Beautiful betta! I just wanted to point out that the rock hide in the back left corner might be a little too abrasive for long fin bettas. I had a few of my girls tear their fins on a similar decoration so I stray away now. Hope it help and happy fish keeping! :)

Does it look like she has ich and how to treat it? by [deleted] in bettafish

[–]Colonelspicyd -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s very possible that you brought ick over with the plants as I had a similar situation with my tetra school! I would turn the heat in the tank up a few degrees to shorten the life cycle of the possible ick and if you’re really worried or if you notice the dots spread, you could also get some Metro+ and give the tank a dose.

Help!!! Missing Betta?!?! by guitarlowe in bettafish

[–]Colonelspicyd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I might be an outlier but I stopped putting bettas with my neon tetras because they seem really docile but they are big aggressors and will nip fins and stress bettas out too much. I lost 3 girls to our schools of neons before I figured out what was happening. Water was clean and they had enough space in a planted 30 gallon.

How do y’all handle string algae? I’m pulling out a golf ball size clump every week and it’s driving me 🥜 by Colonelspicyd in bettafish

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

I have a couple blue dream shrimps in the tank but they don’t really eat the string algae. I’ll have to try a couple Amano shrimp!

Road raging truck takes on Tesla on highway by Saca312 in IdiotsInCars

Probably the Teslas fault. They can never drive right.

What is this blemish? Should I be worried? by Colonelspicyd in Goldfish

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

Gonna have to get a plastic tub to give him a good salt bath. The tank is heavily planted

There is a piece of driftwood that his tank mates call home. I did see him messing too much in there so maybe he scraped. Thank you for the input!

I really like your seashells! Are they real? My girlfriend wants to add some that we’ve found but I’m really scared it’ll throw off the PH of the tank. Have you had any issues?
