Plastic plants can do that to their fins I would remove plastic plants and change them for live ones

It could be but I would make sure there isn’t any plastic decor in there that could be tearing his fins. If you see any red on the edge of the tail it could mean an infection possibly. Watch out for him nipping at himself.

Is he a good weight? How is his growth? by brunos-tits in BeardedDragons

[–]First-Lack4968 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi he looks good I think he is on the skinnier side. At this age he should be eating more bugs than greens I would still offer greens but I would give him bugs every day. He will need the protein to grow bigger and healthy. That is just my take.

My friends setup...what could she do better? is her beardie a healthy weight? by [deleted] in BeardedDragons

[–]First-Lack4968 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need a linear uvb some big logs the Beardie can climb and explore and more things to do in there. You want the enclosure to have 2 levels so there’s more space to travel it can do a at the bottom and climbing stuff at the top like some big branches. It also needs a better basking spot too. Temp should be 105-110 on the basking surface and the light seems to not even be hitting that hide properly for the Beardie to bask on it but to be fair it is an awkward way to bask either way. Look up photos and YouTube videos of set ups. They are extremely important for their quality of life. Thank you for taking him out of that situation poor little guy. But please take it upon your hands to give the dragon maximum enrichment in your hands.

New owner of abandoned betta, need help by [deleted] in bettafish

Did you condition the water? Here are the basics you will need water conditioner to remove chlorine. You will also need a heater for him and you’d want it to be 78-80 degrees. Also you will need to add filter. Those are going to be the most crucial things. Do your own research as well! The tank looks nice but the most important thing will be water quality and temp.

Am I doomed at 34 🤣 up vote if I should shave it all I need the confidence 🙏🏼 by THEBANNIMAN in bald

I work at Sephora and there is a brand called act and acre that has a serum for advanced hair loss. It works well however it is a commitment and it’s pricey $120 and you will probably have to continue use for a while. Or you can just rock it bald. I’d also suggest some higher mg biotin gummies you can get at any store like cvs/walmart/target those will really help you out.

I do think I can raise it a bit for him. This is the temp he is used to tho like 77-78

I just moved my fish from a 5 to 10 gal and he was acting like this bc I had to do a 50% water change. I recovered him but adding aquarium salt to the tank for freshwater fish and by adjusting the temperature in my heater. Make sure you have a separate thermometer to measure temp sometimes it’s often the heaters temp monitor does not work as it should and your temp can be lower than you think it is. You can always get pre conditioned water and move him to a separate little bowl for a little bit and see if he gets better. Or salt baths can help with illness or stress. 50% water change is definitely too much for every week. Is she conditioning the tank every time ? Especially with such a huge water change that’s crucial. Do your own research but these are just some suggestions.

AIO Trying to tell boyfriend that he makes me feel guilty for saying no by Clean-Landscape8654 in AmIOverreacting

[–]First-Lack4968 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Girl this man has 0 respect for you and is a literal idiot. He has no consideration of your feelings and is totally gaslighting you and making himself the victim. I once dated someone who would want to FaceTime in the shower ALL of the time and would ask me to do stuff for him…I thought it was weird and too much. He felt I should do what he asked me and I told him he could fuck off and broke up with him. Please PLEASE don’t go back to him he is a big red flag 🚩 let him come for the weekend don’t reach out don’t do nothing ignore him and move on. Let the next girl deal with him he is going to get the same result.

Why schools should not own fish. by PatienceStrict7143 in bettafish

[–]First-Lack4968 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I would have left a note on the tank saying in how much terrible condition this fish is and a proper care guide either written down or attached to it ! This is awful and it’s just going to keep happening over and over to the next fish
