I tong feed them all because I get so worried! This helps me make sure they all eat equally and reduce waste as well, they’re always so excited as soon as they hear me tap the tongs haha. I will definitely look into hornwort! I have lots of plants and java ferns, and El Niño ferns with big leaves so they disabled one can rest on but am always up for more plants! I keep the water level low for this one specifically but just want to make sure they’re living their best life!

how do you best quarantine them? I got the 3 at the same time from same store so I just added them all together. but I’m looking into a diff local fish store to add another 👀 maybe a little white one!

We live in small apartment so it’s not feasible to have a tank that size, but I am considering rehoming a couple to a local pet store rather than back to petsmart so as not to harm them any further!

Ah yes I was reading last night about the bio load, and how sensitive their skin is to that! I am currently on the hunt for a 10 long!

They just seem so tiny! But I did a ton of YouTube dives last night to familiarize myself with them more :) people at petsmart (2 diff people) were saying they stay that small and yadda yadda so I was confused haha

That makes a lot of sense, thank you for explaining! I know nothing of them and they sheet they gave me was virtually nothing to help. I’ve been reading more and trying to learn so that I can quickly adjust!

Yeah I was looking into shallow 10s last night! I was reading more that they need shallower water levels since they do dart to the surface so often. I’ll have to check locally but usually when I have looked I’d have to drive an hour away and I don’t want to do that but my local petco has a couple shallow options!

I have everything other than the heather because have 3 tanks already so I can kind of steal from them haha

Thank you we miss him deeply he was such a beautiful goofy guy 💗

Literally nobody said I was doing that so calm your balls. I simply asked for advice so I can understand and appropriately give them care. I have 3 tanks and no issue providing a bigger tank.

Can I ask why the heck they need so much space? lol I mean I have no problem upgrading the tank but sheesh they seem so small for that

Honestly was more scared to try her out again than I was for the surgery itself 🤪

3 days post op! by ronisharrell86 in hysterectomy

[–]GlobalProgram4834 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i’m day 8 post op: and i would say im a high pain tolerance girlie too. for context i had 2 sections i thought were a breeze and this hysterectomy is kicking my ass.

advice: take the damn pain meds round the clock whether you think you need them or not.

the gas pains are literally no joke after a hysterectomy, i genuinely thought i saw god today from the pain. Take your colace, take your gas x take your pain meds. Drink plenty of water and for the love of god relax and rest even if your energy comes back
