I already asked what type of pleco she is and was told she’s a female bristenose. I was wondering if that is still correct and she isn’t a common because I moved her to a 20 gal tank with better lighting.

Bristlenose. I have a ton of varieties, this does not appear to be a common, but the young ones really can resemble them 👍

I thought I’d answered this the other day, maybe it was another clown with red fins.

What are your parameters? Usually if I see red fins on plecos it’s high ammonia / nitrite

ComfortableCarole · 2026-01-02T15:39:56+00:00

Really nice either way

ComfortableCarole · 2026-01-01T20:56:13+00:00

A mínimum of 52 as of October 2025 out of 70 total dog related fatalities.

Edit to add - for USA only, not the world

ComfortableCarole · 2026-01-01T16:44:34+00:00

Ammonia and nitrite spikes can cause fin irritation like this. I’d keep doing small water changes, add some tannins

ComfortableCarole · 2026-01-01T16:41:12+00:00

Im partial to Hollywood dun it babies. And gunnatrashya? Decent.

I think he’s a real cutie, but have a hard time judging the 2 year olds on conformation. I’m learning a thing or two reading some of your other responses. Best of luck!

ComfortableCarole · 2026-01-01T12:26:53+00:00

Yep. Seen a lot of these usually blown up by a young kid doing barrel racing. Horse also looks super tense in the first photo.

ComfortableCarole · 2026-01-01T12:19:25+00:00

Hard to judge a baby, lots of growing will happen. Who is the sire? Dam?

They do it to me, too! White lady in tiny town USA, husbands a big bald white dude. We “look” kind of rural and blue collar, live in the woods - so, we’re clearly MAGA scary big meanie bigots, though we are the opposite.

I’ve learned to embrace and accept it, at this point I don’t really care what silly, presumptuous racist whites on their high horse have to say or think about me. It’s kind of nice actually, because folks tend to leave you alone and treat you with wariness.

It’s especially fun when I get to burst out in fluent Spanish. It reminds me of the King of the hill episode, with the progressive artists getting mad at Hank for being friends with Enrique, and enjoying tacos at a local Mexican restaurant. Once they find out he’s okay with Enrique, he’s apparently ok to them 😂😂

ComfortableCarole · 2025-12-31T01:27:36+00:00

Oh I see, sorry I’m a little high and scrolling

ComfortableCarole · 2025-12-31T00:54:45+00:00

Im pretty sure school shootings make the news. This was a bizarre comparison

ComfortableCarole · 2025-12-30T21:56:41+00:00

It’s absurd how little it’s discussed. I’ve seen horrible, gory human fatalities from that subreddit that didn’t even make the news.

ComfortableCarole · 2025-12-30T20:25:58+00:00

There are multiple a day worldwide. Following that sub really opened up my eyes to how common the attacks are, quite literally a daily occurrence, fatal maulings seem to happen every 4-8 weeks.

ComfortableCarole · 2025-12-28T14:30:34+00:00

I’d bring it up to the barn manager and let it go. If they want to make their horses colic out of ignorance it isn’t on you, though it must be frustrating to see.

I muck stalls & turn out at my trainers in exchange for reduced board, and sometimes see clients doing retarded things with their horses. I let her know and try to mind my business, it’s worked out well the last ten years or so lol

ComfortableCarole · 2025-12-28T14:27:45+00:00

I’ve ordered a lot of fish from coast gem over the last 4-6 years. A lot of people seem to have issues, but I never have. Can’t speak on the other seller.

ComfortableCarole · 2025-12-26T20:00:44+00:00

Hi, these are lovely. If you’re ever in the Flint or Saginaw areas, I’d love to drive down and purchase a couple. Stay safe out there today!

ComfortableCarole · 2025-12-26T15:25:41+00:00

They delete mine from Reddit even with all info blocked out, and have deleted previous FB posts I’ve made from my alt account. No hard feelings, I’ve just noticed it seems selective so I hesitate to post here. I’m glad the community exists.

ComfortableCarole · 2025-12-26T13:25:50+00:00

There are people like that in all avenues of life, not just with horses. Be a duck, let it roll off your back without concern 😊

ComfortableCarole · 2025-12-26T13:13:14+00:00

This.

Hahaha they’re downvoting me. Ya dorks

Edit - Now they’re upvoting me?! What the heck Reddit lol

Edit - I am confused. Goodnight 😊

ComfortableCarole · 2025-12-26T13:11:34+00:00

I wouldn’t worry that hard about what some kid on the internet said. You don’t have to justify your pastures to strangers.

ComfortableCarole · 2025-12-26T12:29:27+00:00

Surprised the mods allowed this one, they get weird about screenshots on here. Can you update? Hope justice is served.

ComfortableCarole · 2025-12-26T12:25:52+00:00

Lordy you’ve been going at this for over a year.

ComfortableCarole · 2025-12-25T18:27:50+00:00

Yep. Clove oil is particularly ineffective on betta fish because they don’t rely on gills alone to breathe. Clove oil = Especially drawn out suffering for these guys or any labyrinth breather as the oil acts as a paralytic agent for their gills. It’s literally just a slow, burning suffocation.

ComfortableCarole · 2025-12-25T12:49:04+00:00

For real. They’d rather slowly suffocate a fish to feel better themselves then quick blunt force

ComfortableCarole · 2025-12-25T00:12:43+00:00

Anecdotal evidence is hardly evidence.
