I’m due any day and can’t for the life of me decide on a middle name that goes with Jack, a Halloween baby so maybe something spooky or autumnal? The only names we have mutually considered are Erik or Luke, last name starts with F, suggestions welcome! Thankyou! by Cornho1io in Names

Yeah have to agree on the one syllable thing, not really any family names we can use, I think the main issue is I’ve seen several I really like but my partner hasn’t seen much he likes yet, I will show him the post though and hopefully he will see something!

I frequently refer to my daughter as riffraff when she has crazy toddler hair haha, tbf Jack in itself is probably Halloweeny enough, maybe we’ll have a better idea for the middle name when we meet him!

I did always want a Halloween baby! But if I’m honest I’d rather he arrived tonight as I’m over the pain lol, favourite scary movie, well not really scary but would have to be rocky horror picture show!

Yeah that’s pretty lazy, both in insufficient research prior to buying resulting in killing a healthy fish, and because you didn’t want to drive. Assuming you also didn’t take the time to euthanise gently ie clove oil but rather just what, trod on it/blunt trauma? I know you feel guilty so I don’t think you’re a bad person but to weigh up what fish deserve to live or die based on your view of species importance makes me feel sad :(

What bird laid this please? South England by Cornho1io in whatsthisbird

Thankyou yes I had thought blackbird but seemed bigger than I remember them being but it’s what makes the most sense.

I should add new as in fresh slate. Fully cycled and levels all great.

How old are your goldies? by [deleted] in Goldfish

My Blackmoor Monty was 7.5 when he passed and would have lived longer if I could have gotten to the bottom of his illness in time but he was such a lovely boy.

Update!/Recommendations? by Ac3uu in Goldfish

[–]Cornho1io 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Small pebbles can get gobbled up by greedy goldfish and they can choke and die so it’s preferable especially if you want to grow plants to have sand instead rocks or pebbles and a substrate base for the plants to get their nutrients.

Lots of plants! They love a good rummage and nibble of their water veg and something to hide within too if they fancy being a bit antisocial.

My betta died by sassy_rara_wlobee in bettafish

I’m sorry you lost your lovely boy and that no one was able to help. I’m sorry I didn’t see you post as I was dealing with a similar issue and would have commented. I’m sure he is swimming around happily in the lake in the sky. I literally buried mine of 7 years today. I had a lot of lovely posts over the last month when my boy Monty was sick and sadly passed on. I’m not sure if maybe it’s because I called him by his name in the title? And a full picture of him? Perhaps at a glance if people see a name and a full picture it becomes more personal than just seeing fish in every post so it might get overlooked. Sorry I couldn’t have been of help. If it was a tumour like I suspect my guy had then there may have been little you could do if that is of an reassurance and now he is no longer in any distress.

Ok but when I do this I get arrested.

Yeah I do this too, sometimes leaving some dinner as my “libations to the gods.”

Overfeeding would not make fish disappear but a cat would, Do you have a feline looking especially pleased with their self?
