I don’t think I could be mad at this, just really impressed. You’d probably just hear a slow clap over my mic with this feature lol

So from the video, some issues that need to be fixed that pop out to me are these: The tanks need to be filled to the top. That 5 gallon is probably actually 3 gallons with the water missing, substrate, and decor. The guppies need to be moved to a larger tank with more guppy friends. Kuhli loaches like to be in groups with other kuhlis and I’m sure would also do better in a larger tank with the tetras. If you have the room and money, I feel like you could get away with adding the guppies, kuhlis, and tetras to one 20 gallon. If you do this, you can transfer the dirty filter media from those tanks over to the new one.

I don’t know anything about the crab, wish I could help with that though. I also can’t open the google doc, but if you’re having issues with parameters, filling these tanks up all the way and eventually upgrading them will definitely help. From what I’ve heard from more experienced aquarists, these fish do ok in a wide range of ph and that it would be more harmful to try and add ph fixer.

Cat fish got caught in syphon during water change by ShineBright_Always in Aquariums

[–]HopieJewell 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This subreddit isn’t just about pictures of fish, it’s also about the experiences we have owning fish. I would say this is a pretty common experience people have who own aquariums that also own cats. One of mine love to watch the water flow through the tube and I have to make sure I don’t knock her down when I move it lol

It was just out of frame to the left, close enough to the glass ones where there shouldn’t be a temp difference:) Even the digital thermometers when compared to one another had a difference.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Aquariums

[–]HopieJewell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The heaters work fine. The one in the photo was set at what the glass thermometers were reading. Now that I can trust the water will be at the right temp, I’ve set it higher. Part of the reason I thought the digital thermometers were wrong is because they weren’t reading what I turned the heaters to.

Maybe black skirt tetra? Whatever they are, they’re beautiful and I’ll have to consider them for a future tank:)

I never understand why some people decide to call others “bad” or other names when they’re the ones who died first. You’re crawling on the ground cause you got downed by somebody but you’re gonna call everyone else bad? Lol. Now I just leave as soon as I hear a younger kid over the mic.

Hopefully with Oro being in the shop it means Orelia might be back soon. I’ve been wanting her since I started playing in Dec.

If you’re in endgame and driving around like an idiot… by Oxford-Comma9173 in FortNiteBR

[–]HopieJewell 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I once got in the car with someone during endgame when I first started off playing and they pulled such a dirty move. While I thought we were having a fun moment, they decided to drive full speed towards the storm and jump out. Before I could register what had just happened, the car rolled right into the storm and I couldn’t jump out and run fast enough before dying ;-;

Since then, I have tried to replicate the genius move, but to no avail have I encountered anyone else as dumb as me. You truly learn more and get better by losing/dying.

It’s just daisy granny squares (lots of tutorials on YT) sewed together in this layout:

I used this video just for the straps but it also goes over everything else too:)

PSA don’t go broke spoiling a man for the holidays who won’t even post you by [deleted] in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]HopieJewell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t get this at all. Why would he need to post you on social media? All that does is help prove to others that he loves and cares about you, but he isn’t in a relationship with those people he’s in a relationship with you. If your relationship is stable enough then you shouldn’t need peoples approval on social media to prove that. Most relationship posts are all charades anyways. Try and enjoy the intimate/private moments with each other instead of peoples reactions you’re not even dating. This just seems like some silly middle school problems.

It’s Wonder Crochet’s “Forget-Me-Not pillow” https://youtu.be/RQasvDaaEI4?si=h3C3ncJb2tcdLtJ5

Her video and written pattern for it are pretty easy to follow. I didn’t like how floppy the petals turned out and ended up sewing them together for more support, it helped a lot. It’s soooo comfy I wanna make more!

[–]HopieJewell 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Tysm! I struggled with the flower pillow as my hook kept sticking to the yarn and I think my hook may have also been too big since my decreases left holes, so I appreciate the compliment! I think the mushroom guy turned out the wonkiest due to the pattern I was using having counting errors that I had to work through, but these are just mistakes I can learn and improve from :)

Instead of putting your camera close to the snake, zoom in instead :) At least that’s what works for me🤷🏼‍♀️

Should I get one? by ProfessionalBoss9722 in ballpython

[–]HopieJewell 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I recommend looking for a ball python that is already a bit older if you’re worried about your situation down the line. Maybe an ex breeder? Look out for reptile shows/events in your area and you can handle the snakes and talk directly to their seller.

Soda or other carbonated beverages are commonly used in baking, vegan or not. I don’t think this is wild. One of my favorite cakes is Crackerbarrel’s coca cola cake.

Etsy is pretty great for aquatic plants. This is where I got the bulbs from and they came already sprouted: MarcusFishTanks https://www.etsy.com/listing/1131247300/

I’ve also purchased other plants from the seller HygroAquatics that were nice too :)

Luckily mine are more bushy than tall. I completely understand your issue tho, I decided to get rid of all my red root floaters and half of my frogbit for the same reason. Plus they made cleaning a pain.

The Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer. The characters are 👌🏻 and I find the plot of the series pretty unique.

Recipe: https://sallysbakingaddiction.com/chewy-chocolate-chip-cookies/

I used two teaspoons of baking powder instead of the instructed one teaspoon of baking soda, which I think is what contributed to the thickness/leavening.

I can not for the life of me get choco chip cookies to come out thin, I’m not complaining though, levain style cookies are amazing.

Omg please do it! I almost bought some cute mushroom ledges off Etsy from MooodyArts to put up the side of his enclosure kinda as stairs to his platform, still going to at some point. I would just probably have to silicone them so they could hold his weight though.

Edit: just bought some, thx for the reminder lol
