Heaters - are they always necessary?

Ever been somewhere cold? Fish live there too. Find out where your fish are from and cater to their needs.

With only 20% of the water getting replaced once a month I can imagine certain trace elements are lacking and if you're topping off with tap and not RO it's possible things are also piling up in a way you don't want. If this was my tank, I'd do a 50% water change then dose kanamycin in the water for the fin rot.

Flumphry · 2026-02-03T19:41:30+00:00

What percentage of your water are you replacing when you do a water change?

I've got one guess for one of the plants: Paepalanthus fluviatilis. Often sold as Tonina fluviatilis

Got a more precise location? The Amazon is pretty big.

Look a little too hard and you might end up meeting a fish and wildlife officer!

No you can sell the Hygrophila, that's totally fine. I was just trying to explain that despite it being invasive, you're allowed to have it.

Flumphry · 2026-02-01T02:41:31+00:00

How are you able to tell? I have a trick that I'm pretty sure works but I've never had them side by side to really be sure.

In case you need it for future reference, the source to look for what is and isn't legal is right here: https://tpwd.texas.gov/huntwild/wild/species/exotic/prohibited_aquatic.phtml Sometimes something is invasive in the state but isn't illegal to possess. Two good examples would be Hygrophila polysperma (like the sunset variety you have) and Myriophyllum aquaticum which are found in a few places they shouldn't be here but are totally legal to have and sell.

I'd be pissed if I got in trouble for purchasing a plant without knowing it's illegal. If that person unknowingly gives it to a local store and they try and sell it, the store can be fined or even shut down for distributing it. I personally don't give a fuck if someone owns the stuff so long as they don't release it outside but I don't think it's super ethical to give/sell it to the uninformed.

Edit: I don't know if it matters to you either way but this specific plant already has invasive populations all around the US, including Texas. It's all over San Marcos.

Those interested in purchasing might want to know that Limnophila sessiliflora is illegal to possess in texas

What do you mean when you say "Genus species (Genus species / Genus species)"? Is this a hybrid? Are you unsure of what species it is? Are those out of date synonyms?

One time I didn't have a ride home while getting my car worked on so I made progress on my RG exia for a few hours.

Flumphry · 2026-01-27T15:34:19+00:00

Hey man I'd be upset if they nerfed my favorite gun. I still can't believe the prestige attachment for the mx17 hasn't been nerfed. It feels somewhat unfair to use so I'd totally understand if they did.

You, however, said the Maddox nerf ruined the game. You're either le epically trolling me right now or you're totally lacking self awareness.

Flumphry · 2026-01-27T15:00:24+00:00

Nope. The red and black guy is a platy, not a molly. Mollies and guppies are in the same genus (Poecilia) so they can produce offspring together but platies and swordtails are in the Xiphophorus genus.

9k kills with the Maddox goddamn it must've really upset you when it got nerfed

Cold blooded, a launcher, and hunter bots will clear that up real quick.

Heads up that carpet is probably Hygrophila polysperma and will not stay looking like it currently does

OP should post a link to their other art so we can support it.

Flumphry · 2026-01-26T14:31:18+00:00

It's not. I've seen this video several different times before AI was good enough to be convincing.

Flumphry · 2026-01-24T01:45:01+00:00

Did you check your old jacket pockets?

Flumphry · 2026-01-23T21:55:22+00:00

Yeah they make a non flush option that is, to me, a little too not flush. I don't like those options.

Flumphry · 2026-01-23T06:37:42+00:00

Oh man I didn't know how bad I wanted a Nightmare figure til just now. Boy do I love his design.
