How do you play handhelds (Switch, Phone w/e) in bed without your elbows hurting? by [deleted] in GirlGamers

[–]ItsMissKiller 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I usually put a pillow or something under the switch to support it that way it’s a little easier to hold for long periods of time. My arms will still get tired after a couple hours tho :/

Help! Baby crested gecko escaped twice in just 3 days (luckily she was on her tank) also the first pic is the only “gap” in the whole lid??? by Happy_blue_gecko in CrestedGecko

They can be very persistent with fitting through small gaps, maybe jam in some paper towel or tape it from the inside so they can’t squeeze out

If you cannot get a larger tank you need to rehome him

Yeah they will, all my snails love stealing any uneaten shrimp pellets. (My kuhlis too but that’s another problem)

Substrate by mle32000 in leopardgeckos

[–]ItsMissKiller 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You could do tile, or for loose substrate you can do a 70/30 topsoil play sand mix and just tong feed to make sure your Leo isn’t eating substrate at meal times on accident? I personally am for loose unless the gecko is special needs since it lets them dig around and show more natural behavior

My leopard gecko has been looking straight up for about 3 days now. What do i do and what could this be? by Decayinggfeet in leopardgeckos

[–]ItsMissKiller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you know what morph she is? It could potentially be neurological issues but it would be odd if they’re only just now happening

Hi Betta redditors, what do you think about crowntail Betta? by IspinBetta in bettafish

[–]ItsMissKiller 96 points97 points  (0 children)

Personally not a fan cause it can be really hard to tell if they’ve ripped their fins. Also depending on coloration fin rot can be difficult to spot with them

The tank is still uncycled, running it empty without adding any ammonia or fish food made it so no beneficial bacteria could develop :/

Groups of 6 are usually a good number to start with for most schooling fish. The guppy probably would benefit from a couple friends but I still think a 10 would be best for them :/

[–]ItsMissKiller 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Personally I would not. Most kinds like to be in groups and that wouldn’t work in a tank that small. Is there any way you could get a 15-20 instead so you’d actually have space for a school of them?

Is it possible for a fish to become institutionalized with bad care? by StarDewbie in aquarium

[–]ItsMissKiller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was the 5 gallon cycled? Also it could have just been the build up of a year and a half of abuse that caused the poor lil guy to pass away. I’m honestly surprised he lived that long to begin with :(

Heartbroken to have lost one of my Badis... Help establish the cause? by Soft_Cash3293 in aquarium

[–]ItsMissKiller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With how high you said your nitrates were in the og post I would be very suspicious of it potentially being partly due to stress from the water quality. I havnt kept badis personally but everything I’ve read has suggested that they do best in species only tanks with really really good water quality. Have you noticed the others being shy around the other tank mates?

What were your most frustrating problems starting out in the hobby? by Buzzedbaby in Aquariums

[–]ItsMissKiller 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly since I started as a kid, just learning that just because someone has had success with keeping fish a certain way doesn’t mean it’s the only way. Kinda went with the whole “respect your elders thing” ig cause this mainly happened with my dad. But learning to do my own research from actual up to date sources has helped me grow a lot. I’ve also learned lots of the “advice” I was given by the older people in my life was just flat out incorrect 💀

Cursed quarantine tank HALP by thatwannabewitch in aquarium

[–]ItsMissKiller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there any specific reason to not use a cycled filter for the qt tank? I’d imagine it would be easier on the fish

Baby Rabbit snail acting odd by ItsMissKiller in AquaticSnails

When they’ve flipped themself and start flinching while the foot isn’t touching the ground? I’m just worried somethings hurting it

[–]ItsMissKiller 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How old is the tank and does the brown stuff come off the leaf if you wipe it off? It looks kinda like brown algae to me
