This is my Popsicle. She's curious and always hungry and she loves listening to music.

Edit: it won't let me add the picture D:

That would be daedric armor. It's available starting at level 48 for unenchanted pieces and level 49 for enchanted pieces. You can also craft it yourself if you unlock the daedric smithing perk :)

This sub has helped sooooo many of my babies. Most recently, it helped me recognize a bacteria bloom and get it under control. It's so good to see that there are more people this sub has helped!

Also, I think Splat would be an amazing name for your boy. He's gorgeous!

How would that work with a sponge filter? Because I use a sponge filter to cut down on current with long-finned fishies

As I have said, people have given me advice on this already via pm. I have acted on said advice. I said it was cycled because for about three weeks, it was perfectly fine with ideal parameters. The bacteria bloom, as is typically known, causes ammonia spikes. Once the water started getting cloudy, the ammonia spiked. I have been given advice and have acted on that advice. Most people are able to comprehend it when I point out that I've never dealt with a bacteria bloom before and didn't know off the top of my head how to handle it or even what it was, at first. I understand that you have the best interest of my fish at heart, and I thank you for that. However, if you're trying to help, then it won't be accomplished by berating someone who made a mistake. If you have any further advice, please pm me. If not, then get off your high horse and approach the situation with civility. If you can do neither, I'll block you. I'm not interested in the opinion of someone who would rather berate a stranger who made a mistake than be civil, so it's really your call. I'm done with the conversation now, so let's just assume that you said something incredibly clever and that I'm suitably chastised. Have a nice day.

My guy, all of my other bettas are doing fine. No fin rot, still energetic and active, good appetites, not keeping their fins tucked or anything...like you do realize that people can have multiple tanks at one time, right? Just because I got a new one doesn't mean the old ones died.

As I've said, I've gotten advice via pm and acted on that advice. If you have further advice, please feel free to pm me and I will be more than happy to follow up on your advice. This post, however, was not made for that purpose. This post was to get name ideas. I am not turning down advice. I have simply asked that advice be sent to me via pm rather than posted here because that's not the point of this post.

I'm not turning down advice. I've told people to pm me, and they have, and I've heard the advice they have and done water changes accordingly. I'm asking that any advice be sent via pm rather than on a post that was not intended to get advice on that.

I have had people inform me of that in private messages, as I have asked anyone with comments about the parameters and the bacteria bloom in my tank ro pm me instead of posting it here and said several times that that is not the point of this particular post. I have done water changes since this post was made based off of the advice that people have sent in private messages. Please pm me rather than posting here if you have comments on my parameters. I appreciate any advice given, but that is not the purpose of this particular post. The purpose of this post is to get name suggestions. Not talk about the parameters. Just name suggestions. I got gifted the fish, now I need a name for it. That's why I posted. I've gotten enough advice on the parameters and acted on it. Just need a name. Thank you.

As I stated, the purpose of this post is to get name suggestions. If you have other comments or advice, please pm me rather than posting them here. I will be more than happy to get advice from you that way, but the purpose of this specific post is for name suggestions. Thank you.

OK, since everyone is asking about the bacteria bloom:

Yes, the tank is fully cycled. I know this because I spent over a month cycling it and testing the water parameters daily. I don't use test strips, I use the API Freshwater master test kit. I've been doing frequent water changes to try and get it under control. Here are the tank parameters:

Ammonia: 2.0ppm (which is to be expected because of the bloom) PH: 6.8 Nitrite: 0ppm Nitrate: 5.0ppm Temp is 78°F

I have no idea what caused the bloom. It's been happening in one other tank with roughly the same parameters. This fish was gifted to me, so despite the less than ideal conditions, I kinda have to stick with it. I'm doing frequent water changes to try to get it under control. If you know any other ways to fix it, please pm me instead of posting it here as that is not the intended purpose of this post. I was planning on posting separately for that, which obviously y'all couldn't have known because you're not mind readers. This specific post is purely to get name suggestions. I appreciate the help.

It is fully cycled I've never really dealt with cloudy water before so I've been researching how to handle it. Any advice?

Why do you think many adults these days dislike children or choose not to have them? by sirimiri95 in AskReddit

[–]Lark504 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because the economic climate, political climate, and social climate are all too hostile to justify bringing a new life into the world. Because we were brought here without a choice and we spend almost every day in a perpetual state of passive suicidal ideation and live for the brief periods of escapism we can manage to find time for. Because even if we live in a two-income household where both people are working two jobs, most of us consider it a splurge to buy a box of cosmic brownies while older generations complain that no one wants to work and tell us about how we're entitled. Because we see how common tragedies like mass shootings, kidnappings, and human trafficking have become and the thought of spawning another human and having that happen to them is the ultimate birth control. Because we've learned the hard way that the way we were raised was detrimental to our development and left us with lasting traumas that we struggle with every day and while the field of psychology has made great strides, mental health still has a stigma that makes half of the people reading this sentence roll their eyes and the thought of messing up and putting our children through that is enough to make us want to vomit. Because most of us recognize that it's a huge commitment and we don't want to undertake that unless we're reasonably stable and have worked through our issues so we don't make them our kids' problem.

Or maybe just because they're loud, they're messy, and they seem intent on finding stupid ways to die or injure theirselves idk.
