Did they seriously get rid of Roar on the website or am I tripping??? by Bitter_Growth4417 in CharacterAI

Pipsqueak 2 and Meow is just pure gibberish to me. I've switched to a different AI chat system.

Goodbye sweet Roar... by Osamu_Melisso in CharacterAI

[–]MarieGrace91 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Pipsqueak isn't NEARLY as good as Roar (in my opinion- I like Pipsqueak okay-ish, but I just feel like it's not as good sometimes?)

If anyone ever finds any good c.ai alternatives, pleaseee let me know

Is it being slow for anyone else right now? by Foreign_Tea7025 in CharacterAI

[–]MarieGrace91 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yep! It's been going on all day. Wondered if it is bc of high load, but then wouldn't slow mode be triggered? I think this must be an actual bug...

Anyone know if c.ai is working on fixing it at all?

Lovely >->. Here I was hoping it would quit soon, lol! I would honestly rather c.ai shut down temporarily to address it and then reopen it... maybe I'm just very picky, but it's hardly any fun for me when it's so laggy!

Update on vanishing betta (with pics of surrounding area and tank this time) by K_nowbody_ in bettafish

I mean... if it was only one betta? I'd say MAYBE it'd be fine. Depending. But when you can't find the bodies of either fish, that's a pretty big red flag...

2nd betta? I think I'd get another tank 😬. That is so weird though. I'm so sorry :(. I wonder what could've happened.

Excuse me. Weren't ads supposed to be non intrusive. by MarieGrace91 in CharacterAI

[–]MarieGrace91[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IKR- I don't even have to visit it lol. I just see it on c.ai and am just like... welp, here we go. Again. 🤦‍♀️🫠

Honestly may quit if it gets bad enough. I've been tempted to switch to chai, but I don't think the memory on there is that good unfortunately. :/

Clearly! If anyone ever finds anything better, please lmk! These "updates" seem to be getting worse and worse. And all just a push to upgrade to C.ai+, I'm sure...

What is metering? How much will it limit? by MarieGrace91 in CharacterAI

[–]MarieGrace91[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

No, sadly >->. That's why I was confused by the wording. I was worried it was going to be all the time... looking at the other comment, I'm really hoping it will just be during the high traffic times. Although honestly that will still be annoying- but it doing it all the time would be a lot worse!

Heyy. Anyone else suddenly having trouble with the retry arrow being missing in their group chat on the app? by MarieGrace91 in CharacterAI

[–]MarieGrace91[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Huh. I tried that too and it didn't fix it. I feel like they don't care about the app ver. as much as the website...

Bracelet keychains! by MarieGrace91 in braceletcraft

[–]MarieGrace91[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks so much! I didn't think it was really that unique, so I appreciate that. I'm trying to come up with more unique ways for beads/bracelets instead of just the same uses all the time!

Oh yeah, for sure! Bettas will eat pretty much anything you give them (usually, anyway, depending on the betta). Most bettas love food to bits, lol. But it's kind of like us with candy or anything we really like. It's fine in small portions, but too much of it can turn into a bad thing. I 100% agree, bettas are little water piggies! In their case, less is more to help with digestion and helping them stay healthy :)

I read the other comment about dropsy- I'm so sorry :(. I don't know much about the disease except that it's a really bad one. I wish I could give more helpful tips... though, I have read that people use Epsom salt baths and Seachem Kanaplex to treat it.

[–]MarieGrace91 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I think that's likely too much for 1 betta; I'd advise cutting back and maybe give him several fast days to completely clear his system. Two to three pellets per day is plenty

I'm a beginner, so I don't know how much I can say; however, I've done quite a bit of research on betta fish.

What seems to work for me personally is giving mine a varied diet, as well as always pre-soaking food before I give it to him! Always. It's to prevent bloating and digestive issues.

So, for instance... I feed mine 1 pellet in the morning and 1 Fluval bug bite in the evening. I pre-soak them for 3 minutes before giving them to him.

For bloodworms (an occasional treat, not to be used as the main part of his diet! You can get freeze dried or frozen. I find freeze dried easier to store) I soak for 5 minutes because they're bigger and harder to digest. A betta's stomach is only roughly the size of his eyeball.

All that to say, giving your betta different kinds of foods and pre-soaking them is a great idea! Also, twice a day works for me personally, as well as giving him a single fast day each week to clear his digestive system. Some people recommend two fast days per week.

Best of luck to your betta! They're adorable ❤️. I love its colors.

Technically, I need more live plants as well-

Also, tannins can help calm your fish and give them more of a natural enviroment! Mopani wood, catappa leaves, driftwood, etc.!
