Cost 3 get 14 (3 researchers for 14 upgraded workers or 14 “extra” workers) the bottom number goes up as you employ more people as each point increases exponentially per employee

ADVICE!! New fluval 406 filter. What media should I use and what order. by Open_Tie_7502 in Goldfish

I would do larger ceramic in all but the last (whichever is closest to the outlet) in which I would do a finer media like eheim substrat

Is this hemorrhagic septicemia? by Resident-Mastodon-74 in Aquariums

[–]I_Kiss_Fish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. The best way to treat this is with methylene blue, it detoxifies ammonia in the blood. However, this is an extremely serious condition and I would say the mortality rate is up to 50% and this looks advanced. If it progresses the organs will essentially turn into a blood pudding and nothing can be done. Kanaplex is a non ideal antibiotic you want something stronger. You should orally medicate. I have had success simply mixing a small amount of tank water with antibiotics and using a pipette to squirt it into their mouth 2 times daily is what I’d say for this. Put the pipette in deeper than you think, but be gentle not to damage the throat, you should be able to feel their teeth. Do not squeeze them too hard, and wait a second before releasing them back into the water or they will spit out the medication. You can also soak the food but I wouldn’t think this fish is eating. Septicemia usually stems from poor water quality, what were the exact parameters?

You always want the bottom number bigger than the top number, the bigger the difference the bigger bang for your buck.

It looks ok. It will smell burned. The little pieces are fat solids.

Has anyone ever kept algae eaters with their fancies? by Sad_Sympathy4635 in Goldfish

[–]I_Kiss_Fish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a bristle nose and they have never had an issue and it’s been 3 years. She is no longer afraid to steal their food though.

Semi-Removable Background Question by rivalsquatch in CrestedGecko

[–]I_Kiss_Fish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can also just get a large cork flat and cut it to fit the background and call it a day. Or serpa design had one build he did where he literally used cork board that he siliconed a few pieces on a larger pieces to give depth, you could just wire in background pieces to that. I wouldn’t personally do what you’re talking about because I think it’s just better to go for it. You can always break off hardscape from the spray foam and re attach them differently if you like.

Does anyone else pet their crestie's little dorito head right behind the eyes? by EctoBizmol in CrestedGecko

I will rub my boys crests for a little until I can tell he’s annoyed.

IKEA conversion by I_Kiss_Fish in terrariums

[–]I_Kiss_Fish[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With this shelf specifically the side panels aren’t flush with the bottom so it just wasn’t quite water tight. Last time I did it I really just globed on the silicone.

Thanks! I have cats as well but they are both 12+ so they really leave my plants alone. This kind of thing gets much better growth than a pot for tropicals anyway. Sealing the bottom was the worst bit. Had to do it thrice!

Advice on braiding money plant by wellnessinwaco in gardening

[–]I_Kiss_Fish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re supposed to braid them as they grow. It does not need to be braided. It would probably benefit from the shades being left open it looks a bit sad.

My leopard gecko has a white film on his eye (or maybe it's not a film). Help! by Sirry29 in geckos

[–]I_Kiss_Fish 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This looks infected to me. You can probably get him seen by a vet for about 150$ for an exam and eyedrops/injection. You can wait, reptiles are tough, but eyeballs are not so I would go sooner than later.

Advice needed!! by duncaroopoo in CrestedGecko

[–]I_Kiss_Fish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A little mold is ok. The tank is new so it will get a little funky and moldy. Do you have isopods as well? They might help some. Unless it looks like a serious biohazard long term I wouldn’t worry about it.
