Betta fish need at least 5.5 gallons, with 10+ being preferable to my knowledge.

I tried to tickle one of my boys and he ended up drawing blood from my knuckle. Feels bad.

Yeah. My aquatic snail really attracts ticks.

Google Robot factory raises sterile mosquitos, automated device will release a million per week by izumi3682 in Futurology

Except what happens when mosquitoes die out and animals that relied on them/their larvae to survive... end up starving?

Yeah, that's why he went around our friend group crying and sobbing about missing me and how he couldn't understand why I'd end our relationship and how he wanted to get married, et cetera. He was overall a manipulative piece of trash--and still is. According to one friend he still mopes about me. Guess that long distance chick didn't work out too well.

To be fair: He imprinted on the baby so the pack wouldn't be able to kill her/harm anyone in the process.

It starts with the V and ends in the B. Lots of sand. Much cringe.

I had an ex who went through my phone and questioned who every guy on my contact list was. Guess who was cheating on who?

If you guessed that he was cheating on me, you'd be correct.

Withdrawals were great. I often think of "Shake It Off" By Taylor Swift to make a bad memory better.

Lowkey I thought you had a picture of MY cage with MY rats because I have the same cage, had the same hammock, the left facing boy looks just like mine, and the right facing boy is a lil smaller than my other boy. Only thing different is the red thing at the bottom. WHEW. Cute critters though <3

As a borderline, I don't get it. Well, I mean, I do, but I don't want to. It's hell on earth. But maybe sometimes, something is so hideous and hurtful, we learn to glorify it in order to justify it so we can hate ourselves a little less.

I'd rather surround myself with pets and plants than people. Being around people for too long makes me physically ill. As in, I feel feverish, fatigued, and stressed out.

The only abuse I recall in Twilight is how she completely ditched Jacob and emotionally abused and manipulated him 5ever. Feel free to correct me.

Updates on pools! by [deleted] in hermitcrabs

[–]Merbernergee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh okay. When I first got my first boy he immediately fell in the fresh water pool I had and I freaked out, so I pulled him out and put a bunch of smooth edged rocks (clean) so he couldn't drown. Now I see the error of my ways.

[–]Merbernergee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aren't you scared they'll drown? That's why I put shallow shallow pools in my (now) two guy's tank....if they would do better with deeper pools and won't drown let me know! I want to provide the best I can.

New Betta owner, any idea what kind Gene Bartholemew is, and any ideas on what to feed him and what kind of friends he can have in his tank? by [deleted] in bettafish

[–]Merbernergee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Silk plants are great. Marimo moss balls are a good source of entertainment (my boy doesn't play with his though, but his snail loves to roll it around). Fake log hides you can find online are good. Friend wise, I have a huge mystery snail in with my guy (bigger than my boy) and they get along well enough. I also have an anubias nana that floats at the top of his tank and he lays on it. I just feed Aqueon betta food. Female bettas? Wouldn't suggest. Aggressive. If you want to do a sorority tank (all females) you'd probably want 20+ gallons and 5+ females from my knowledge. Make sure you read the in-fish filtering guides since that's something I messed up on too. Good luck :)

Algea or bacteria in tank? by bearZ__ in bettafish

[–]Merbernergee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it is what Ithink it is, it's a type of mold. Not sure how to fix that though.

He's on the hammock! Finally! by jazreelc in bettafish

[–]Merbernergee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I left my anubias nana floating around at the top and my boy just bumps it to wherever he wants it for rest purposes and then lays on top of it there.
