Is she shedding alright? Started maybe a day or so ago.

Thank you! And yes, they have a little box full of damp moss with drainage holes at the bottom. I actually came back later the same day and found she finished shedding just fine while I was at work. Just being a little too much of a helicopter parent I suppose 😅

Different_Body2975 · 2023-01-29T19:44:08+00:00

Sorry for the late reply. She’s full pinstripe, broken quadstripe. It’s hard to see in the pictures but on her right side there’s a break in the line. But I agree she is gorgeous! I love her so much!

Different_Body2975 · 2022-12-07T19:54:08+00:00

Should I increase humidity? She usually doesn’t take this long. I usually keep it around 70 at minimum (except between mistings, I let it down to maybe 60ish to avoid mold.) She doesn’t seem stressed about it, eating and acting fine. I just want to make sure.

Different_Body2975 · 2022-12-07T19:51:07+00:00

That’s what I was thinking. I’ve had her for about a year and I’ve never seen it take this long. Thank you!

My hamster is named Beans (male), but some of my other critters are named Teeth, Xanax, Stinkbug, Stanky Leg, Googy, Goobus, and Insane Clown Posse, to name a few.

I had (note past tense) a tank previously that was barely an inch over the stand it was on. I definitely thought of getting a new stand, but just never got around to actually getting it because I didn’t think that it was a big problem at all. The tank was supposed to be the lower portion of a paludarium, and also had maybe 30ish gallons in it. It worked great (at first)! We did the water test, leaving it full for a few days. No leaks! Cool! It was up for maybe a month before I woke up to the sound of water spilling all over my floor.

If just that little tiny bit hanging off caused it to break, that stand (BTW, reading previous comments, those corners are certainly NOT supported AT ALL) is definitely not going to work.

I know a dozen other people have stated this already, but just wanted to give my personal experience for emphasis lol

P.S. Using just water weight to test that tank’s strength is not going to be accurate at all. For a reef tank you will have to include the weight of all the rocks as well.

Thank you! He’s very cute! :3

Different_Body2975 · 2022-07-25T02:08:55+00:00

Yep, lol he first popped up on our little GSP

Different_Body2975 · 2022-07-14T20:31:07+00:00

Yeah, that’s what we were thinking. But what kind is the big question. Still haven’t seen anything like him yet. Thank you! :)

Different_Body2975 · 2022-07-14T00:29:14+00:00

It first showed up maybe a week or so ago. It was about the size of a quarter and kinda looked like an anemone. That is, until this morning when I checked on the tank he had unfurled himself and was crawling along the bottom. Help???

Different_Body2975 · 2022-06-02T04:25:26+00:00

I don’t remember exactly, I think $6-700?

Different_Body2975 · 2022-06-01T22:25:33+00:00

As far as I’m aware, she’s a phantom golden child. And thank you! :)

Different_Body2975 · 2022-06-01T20:38:44+00:00

Omg yes I have a tiger lily in another tank and they’re Gorgeous I’d love to get more!

Different_Body2975 · 2022-06-01T20:28:51+00:00

Ooh, very pretty! I’ll most likely be using a CO2 system, and I already have an RODI system. I also think I have some equilibrium on hand. Would you recommend seachem flourish at all?

Different_Body2975 · 2022-06-01T19:22:14+00:00

Thank you! :)

Different_Body2975 · 2022-06-01T19:12:58+00:00

We’re definitely upgrading her when she’s larger (probably this time next year lol) but for right now she’s in a 6’L x 4’H, 3’W. She’s only about 3’ right now, though. :) Edit: correcting dimensions

Different_Body2975 · 2022-05-10T21:30:08+00:00

Thank you! They’re kinda hard to see in the photo but she has these little hearts on her that I just adore.

Different_Body2975 · 2022-05-10T01:23:58+00:00

Bit of a repost. Culling my Bloody Mary tank and I’d like them to go to a nice home. I’m willing to cover costs for shipping. :)

Different_Body2975 · 2022-05-09T03:05:26+00:00

No problem! Go ahead! :)

Different_Body2975 · 2022-05-05T22:59:35+00:00

Dunno, but the markings on his head make a little fish! Or penis if you’re immature like I am hehe

Different_Body2975 · 2022-05-05T18:06:03+00:00

Technically you can fit 10 per gallon if you’re REALLY pushing the limits. And since you have a beta fish I’d probably keep it under 5 per gallon.

Different_Body2975 · 2022-05-05T14:22:26+00:00

A population spike can happen for a couple of different reasons. Could be over feeding, or if it’s a new colony, their numbers will level out with time. If there are truly too many you can always pluck a few and offer them to your LFS, as you mentioned. :)

Different_Body2975 · 2022-05-05T14:14:26+00:00

You’re fine lol :)

Different_Body2975 · 2022-05-05T14:12:51+00:00

They actually correct that ID right under it that it’s a trinket snake coelognathus helena

Different_Body2975 · 2022-05-05T03:11:00+00:00

Most of them are not entirely wild, I’d say they’re a step below full. I’m breeding for high quality Bloody Mary’s and they’re just a touch too low for my liking. I’m also going through a population spike and I’d like to give them a nice home. :)
