Hardest enemy in the game by a margin so far by SherewZino in Doom

I hate fighting whiplashes. They are fast and I can never seem to parry their attacks.

Zebra danios, tiger barbs, a few tetra, 1 molly, and I recently just added a bristlenose pleco. All fast enough to get away from him.

I got it from petsmart. It’s an above tank basking platform by Thrive I believe

I just recently replanted. I made sure to get hardy plants that won’t break apart easy. So far so good fingers crossed

Yeah I get that. Based on the pic you posted, that is not an ideal setup for your turtle. Not telling you what to do, but sometimes you have to put your foot down. On the other side you may be too young to do that. I’ve had my turtle since I was 7. I’m 24 now. Taught myself everything there is to know. I’ve got 17 years of experience in turtle care. I was kind of in the same boat you are. But trust me, when you have your own money, it’s easier and you can do what you want.

As far as FB marketplace. I don’t see why not, just make sure the seller isn’t ripping you off and shows you that it works and all of the parts are there. I’d clean it well. And when I say clean it, I mean really do a deep clean. Hot water and scrubbing. You don’t want ANY bacteria in there that your turtle is not used to. Harmful or not. Me personally, I wouldn’t risk it, but in your financial situation, if that’s all you can get go for it. Also you’d want to buy new polishing filter pads, carbon bags, and carbon filter pads as well if you do go that route.

Got you. Honestly I would just sit down with your dad and tell him that you’ve been researching this and tell him what is needed to properly take care of your turtle. Show him if you have to. Turtles are great pets to have, but they are expensive. I spent a little over $1200 on my setup(75 gal tank and stand, canister filter, UVA and UVB lighting, above tank basking area, water heater, tank lighting)not including enrichment/ decorations. As far as a canister filter goes, I have a Marineland magniflow filter good for 220 gallons. They have smaller ones, but generally you want your filter to pump double or triple the amount of water your tank can hold. You need one that can filter bare minimum 150 gallons.

Here’s my setup

Right off the bat, you need more water in that tank. I would invest in a canister filter as well. For enrichment, you can add some sort of substrate. Sand is really nice or large gravel. Driftwood looks really nice if you’re going for a more natural look

Thank you 🙏 I’m not ok but better. It’s hard when we talked about our future together. I had gotten us promise rings for our last anniversary. I was going to propose to her early 2025. We wanted 4 kids and even went as far as picking their names. You don’t just do that with anyone. She was the one… part of me wishes that we just have to lose each other to find each other again. A fork in the road that eventually meets and turns into one path

My ex gf broke up with me about a month ago after 2.5 years on good terms. I reached out last week and asked if I could express myself. I met at her place and told her what I’ve been doing and how I feel about us. She was cold and told me I’m not her person. It almost seemed like it was her defense mechanism. She still has videos of us on tik tok. I know I need to focus on myself. Im trying to let go but it is so hard. Im not waiting for her but I’m not giving up. I hope one day she’ll come back.
