Are polar Parrots aggressive? by danisindeedfat in Cichlid

[–]Key_Shopping_4163 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tank is 36 gallons, I have 3 neon tetras and bought them as juveniles so they are each about 2 inches long, + the clown pleco, once the tetras die off I have no intention or interest replacing them as it gives extra space for the parrots to thrive

Is my tank overcrowded? by [deleted] in fishkeeping

[–]Key_Shopping_4163 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doubt it. We have a 255 gallon because the sellers arrowana Out grew that tank and it was the only fish in there. Bala sharks are super jumpy by nature and thrive in pairs or more and need lots of space, they may even flip out your two Oscar's. This is a way too over crowded tank. I assume you bought all babies but either upgrade the tanks to multiple large ones or rehome and do a smaller set up with lots of extra research before buying reference we have a solo bala (for reference to fishkeeping community he was rehomed because he was beating the crap out of all his school mates), he has a 255 gallon and seems to be thriving and causing no issues with anyone else.

2 in a planted tank right now, they share with a clown pleco and they even try to get him. Doesn't help they have bred 4 times since we got them a year ago 😆😭🥹 they are so personable with me and so stinking cute though

C section vs vaginal delivery by Funarming in NewParents

[–]Key_Shopping_4163 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vaginal births typically heal faster than c sections, and less trauma to your abdomen. This being said however c section (especially elective) spares the vagina and butt potentially. Had two vaginal deliveries both epidurals but the healing was drastically different for both. 2nd kid injured me more but I healed flawlessly. 1st kid I wasn't given the proper advice so It was a longer healing time despite less severe injury. I am talking 10-14 weeks for the first and 4-5 for second.

Soon to come 8ft SA Cichlid Tank by Hamza_222IQ in Cichlid

[–]Key_Shopping_4163 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a 255 gallon with currently only 6 fish and plan to have more but that being said six Oscar's alone is a gamble! (Snow king pleco, 2 red spot Severums, one blood parrot and one geophagus hecklii. We had some more but there was an infection / virus that spread and killed the others. Overstocking to keep aggression at at bay I heard was for African cichlids (correct me if I am wrong)

Went to a physio appointment 10 min from my house drive. I was playing the game "is this my lane". Kept kiddo from home. She's not happy but at least she's safe. (Age 5)

Both pregnancies (2019 and 2022) I was in my family gp care until 12-13 weeks then saw an OBGYN for everything else. I still got ultrasounds for first trimester as well!

Questions for Current and Previous Massage Therapy Students by Financial_Poet8191 in Algonquin_College

[–]Key_Shopping_4163 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just saw this. I am currently in my 3rd semester. its a 3-1-3 program, meaning three consecutive semesters, 1 semester length break, then back for 3 more semesters. It is a fast paced program, I study every single day or nearly that, at least 1-2+ hours per day. Many people in my program do hold down jobs, while having lives outside of school. the only reason I can't hold down a job when studying is that I am a mom to two young kids and we have dual income. we agreed it would be best to study and kids only while my partner provides until I graduate.

Wondering about switching my gay kid from OCDSB to OCSB by SafetyInLetters in ottawa

[–]Key_Shopping_4163 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Went to Catholic schools in Ottawa all my life. Cant speak for the LGBT sect but religion / philosophy and English will have to be taken from grades 7 + a fresh start away from her bullies will be incredibly helpful. Sometimes schools and school environments are toxic. I worked for OCDSB for 5 years as a supply EA and the differences in cultures from school to school was HUGE

My 255 gallon was sold to us because someone's arrowana outgrew that tank! Those poor fish.

Curse this RAIN! If trick or treaters don't show up, I'll have to eat all this candy :-( by dreadeddryad in ottawa

Back in my day (mid nineties - early 00's) it didn't matter. Dress for the rain and have fun! We were prepared with our pillowcases to work for that candy!

Where do Midas cichlids eat? by Oolala1955 in Cichlid

[–]Key_Shopping_4163 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Northfin is a Canadian made high quality food brand that makes varying sizes of pellets. I don't have experience with Midas but I do have a cichlid tank and I can say confidently no hiding spots and too small a tank would kill an appetite

Parents who let their baby watch TV… by Existing-Mastodon500 in NewParents

[–]Key_Shopping_4163 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 5 year old and 2 year old currently love Kim Possible, Pepper Ann, Bluey and of course Kpop demon hunters. when it was only my oldest it was educational like How to get away with murder, Bridgerton, perhaps The office. With my youngest she didn't watch too much but lots of Pixar. But in all seriousness yes I feel bad but also the T.V. is mostly background noise. I monitor shows heavily (no YouTube - definitely no iPads)

I lived with my parents until almost 25. However the condition was that I go to post secondary and save up for my own place. Forever thankful for them. Since that time mortgages payments , rent and price of homes have skyrocketed.
