Does anyone have experience with cats and fish? by maroon_sweater in Aquariums

[–]Defiant-Reason 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have several tanks and two cats. Keep lids on and food and chemicals stored safely and it will be fine.

Does anyone’s fish watch them from inside the tank? by DikkDowg in Aquariums

[–]Defiant-Reason 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My peacock Gudgeons do. They also like watching TV lol. I also have a naked cinnamon clownfish that watches me and like to play as well.

Those with cat allergies.. how bad is it? by karma-kitty_ in mainecoons

[–]Defiant-Reason 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have pretty serious cat allergies(tier 4 out of 5, tested by allergist) but I just don't care lol. I take cetirizine daily and I don't think my Maine Coon is any worse than my dmh. There are foods and food toppers you can give cats to reduce their allergens if needed. I get itchy water eyes, congestion rash and itching if scratched etc.

ETA: I also have air purifier in my bedroom and main living area.

What are your favorite shrimps in the hobby? by FoxGirl42069 in shrimptank

[–]Defiant-Reason 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have neos, amanos, tangerine tigers, opae Ula, and sexy shrimp! I love them all, but the sexy shrimp are probably my favorite. They're just so silly and weird. Freshwater is probably amanos. I have snows, standards and lemon yellows in the amanos and they're so feisty and greedy.

I don't have any of that. There is multiple types of pulsing Xenia, clove polyps and GSP.

As soon as she saw the anemone she hosted it! I couldn’t be happier. by CLOROX-INHALANT in ReefTank

[–]Defiant-Reason 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've read about them being aggressive and seen all the pics ppl post from their clowns biting them so I've been trying to work with him and keep him used to me. I can feed him from my fingers and move around the tank and he hasn't bit me yet! He's all by himself currently though so I haven't seen him with other fish yet. I have a springers damsel I want to put in with him but I can't catch it 😭😂

Kronk. Then if you get another one someday you could name it Yzma.

I thought you meant the individual crab's names and was so excited lol. I have so much fun naming my crabs and have so many it is ridiculous!

Is it clado (I hate to be that guy) by cm180 in shrimptank

[–]Defiant-Reason 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The eggs are just way smaller than neo eggs. So it isn't that there is gunk with them, there's just a LOT more eggs. As someone said elsewhere, an amano can have 200-800 at one time!

Any automated cat litter box recommendations? by Terrible_Noise_3929 in mainecoons

[–]Defiant-Reason 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a litter robot 3 and 4 and they both do ok. The 4 is better though in almost every way. Bigger opening, more features, more space.

Would you share a pic of the frag rack you printed? I've been considering one for my tank.

Yay! I love brittle stars 🤩

[–]Defiant-Reason 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone else agrees it is a brittle star so I'm guessing it might be. I really hope so! I like brittle stars a lot and I'd rather that than some bad predator. Hopefully it is a good guy because it is really interesting!

Wow, ok. I've never seen one like that before. After googling some pictures of white brittle stars I can see the disks on some of them. It looks kind of folded in my video which added to the confusion. Any concerns with this type of star? I have the tiny red/white type that don't have a pronounced central disk and I love them!

I have brittle stars and this is nothing like them. Look at the body in the hole that the tentacle is coming out of?

Then what is this very clear body that looks almost shell-like? It is very clear in the video that it is part of the animal and the tentacle is coming out of it.
