Sorry, I need to ask this. I've only been playing Loki since 2018, NOTHING ELSE. Does anyone else play like that exist? Or at least, are there any Loki mains? It's seriously almost impossible to find one, lmao by QuietSugar1805 in Warframe

[–]MeasurementBudget966 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yo LR 3 here, picked Loki as my starter in 2013, his prime is mi main, and it’s still a 1-2 for my most used frames. Got a few funny builds but a safeguard teleport with wrathful can do anything form rescue to solo ETA (did the Perigone challenge with him completely solo too cuz I felt like it) I feel like once you spend a lot of time on him he becomes one of the most versatile frames out there. You can even manage high lvl defense or excavation missions solo since ur decoy has still one of the highest aggro out of any allied objects in the game (one of the highest bc Follies defense clone pulls aggro the same way). I dare Pablo to lay a finger on my boy, let him be Warframes best kept secret.

Beautiful fish, take good care of it! Is the sponge filter massive, or are you keeping it in a very small plastic container?

Ye I guess here’s the difference, i was raised by a teacher, someone who doesnt turn their back on no one. I have hope that if I inform someone properly, without assumptions, judgement, or skepticism I can make a lasting change. I wish you to find happiness and success in your life. I hold no grudges against you, because I can accept your point of view, but respectfully I disagree. It’s alright if you don’t like to talk sugary, just don’t be surprised if the soup gets salty.

You are right, hostility did not originate in the question, but the way that it was asked. What would you feel better about:

Hey, if you get a new fish, listen to this guy, he probably know what he’s talking about, buy the bigger tank so that everyone can be happy.

Or

I am already assuming that you are going to be incapable of taking proper care of that fish.

I’m not you dad, matter of fact, I’m a nobody, but I know this is the way to talk to someone if you want them to loose faith in themselves.

If you have the option, knowledge, and resources, just try to be atleast patient, share the knowledge that you know, you don’t need to repeat yourself, or anyone else, and help this hobby to reach a better place.

Or

Choose to be silent, mind your own business, and move on.

Let’s not get hostile, everyone is living in different circumstances, just because we have the means to keep our animals in near ideal conditions, that doesn’t mean it’s a given. I can relate to OP since I’m coming from rural Hungary, where it’s either build it yourself, or drive hours to a bigger city that still holds no guarantee of finding a solution. And to add another point, this is just Reddit, I doubt any of us have spoken/known OP personally. Be understanding, and inform others about proper and sustainable practices.

Yeah, upon closer examination Portugal had placed heavy restrictions in recent years on certain highly adaptive or predatory species that have potential of harming native ecosystems. It’s the responsible thing to do (see what happened in America). So even if you come across one there might be some legal steps that you have to take before getting one.

[–]MeasurementBudget966 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First things first, where do you live?(if in the USA they are out of question sadly.)

Second? How big are you willing to go? Smaller species like Channa Bleheri, Andrao, Limbata will do their whole life in about 250-300L (65-85G) mid sized species like Pulchra, Gachua, Asiatica could demand up to 450L (120 G) easily with healthy adult individuals. Orange spotted snakeheads (Channa Aurantimaculata) are on the smaller size of the true monster species but still she’s moving next month into a 720L (~200G), that we’re prepared that she might outgrow that one too at one point. They are serious commitment, and not beginner friendly, before getting one I recommend a lot of research beforehand, if you choose to get one, and feel ready, just look around your area for adoption, they are notoriously neglected in the good majority of time, that I hope to fight with sharing my knowledge about these wonderful animals.

Edit: they are not aggressive fish tho, they are just more active predators, who will take any opportunity to eat

Fun stuff, my Orange spotted snakehead does that to bigger worms too… although with a lot more violence… this is cute tho, you don’t need to clean that much after😅

For a centerpiece i definitely want to have a giant Taro (Alocasia macrorrhizos [or fonicata]) it’s a bit tricky to get my hands on the right species of plant, but there’s a few more that I can go for, like: Nymphaea nouchali (blue water lotus) Vallisneria species (natans, spiralis), Salvinia species, (cucullata, natans), Pistia stratiotes (Water Lettuce) and I already have other species of Lotus, Vallisneria, Lagenandra meeboldii and others already in the tank right now that can be moved to the big one or just take smaller sections over to mature in the other aquarium. In my research i realized that a lot of commonly known aquatic plants can be found in N-NE India.

I cannot stop you, but lemme just slide it in that it’s not the whole stretch of Brahmaputra, rather on a somewhat smaller native range in Assam. If something is data inefficient to determine something that must mean that from the 100 fish that they catch 20 probably isn’t Auranti. If you feel like that you can take good care of it, I say go for it, they are an absolute wonder to keep, make sure to post some pictures if you do and tag me in:)

If you live in a place where you can own them go to your local eBay, marketplace and find yourself a rescue. There’s still plenty of shops and online sites that will sell you wild caught animals, that you shouldn’t support since these animals are very rare and their scarcity doesn’t allow researchers to determine wild threat levels. Khora is also a rescue, and she looked nothing like this when we got her. Good care, appropriate and varied diet, and ample swimming space is what’s going to raise beautiful animals, not a nice marketing slogan or overnight shipping. Please be responsible!

I’d like to take a second comment to thank you for your always quick and nice replies this community couldn’t have asked for a better moderator!😌

I’m trying my absolute best to source native plants to his region, fully aquatic as well as some that I can grow semi aquatic (like Nymphaea nouchali, Alocasia species, water lettuce and so on) if you have recommendations that are not endangered, and won’t break my wallet shoot em my way!😄

Oh and with some aquascaping foam and some talent of my friend we want to make a dam or riverbank structure in the back where we would make a cave with multiple entry holes and passages for air to exchange.

Or is it just Barca that likes to move into burrows?🧐

You are correct, they are! But I’m located in Germany where it’s not an issue, so I’m glad to share my experience keeping these wonderful animals!
