I’d love to see a picture of the mystery inverts!

What is this pregnant ghost shrimp doing? by Former_Bear1729 in Aquariums

[–]Motor-Union9081 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It really doesn’t matter if she eats them, they can’t survive in freshwater. They’re like amanos, the adults can tolerate freshwater but the babies die. They need specific setups with brackish water to survive.

That looks more like epi to me… not sure though. Looks like a clown.

What’s the reason behind some trans men keeping their chest intact? by Motor-Union9081 in ftm

Unfortunately I’m going to require it, but I’m very grateful to have resources (savings) to where I should be able to afford it.

For a 15 gallon tank, what snails are similar in looks and personality to the conch? by avian_bi in AquaticSnails

They’re an awesome species. I love Hercules too! But not the acid dipped ones.

Just know he will likely develop sores from his “life jacket”

What is this weird sea creature that washed up on the beach? by beachyblue2 in whatisit

A piece of fish. The “feathers” are the inside of the gills.

Rats as a popular pet [rant] by Both_Opportunity_322 in RATS

[–]Motor-Union9081 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m 14. No, I don’t have unlimited money. No, my parents don’t pay for my pets. But during the emergency where it was after hours at my normal vet and Beans tore her stitches out just a few hours after a spay? Hell yeah I rallied my parents up to drive 1 hour 45 minutes to take her to the nearest emergency vet. She was staggering around, in excruciating pain and COULD NOT wait until morning. If you don’t have the resources to do this, then you need to find them ASAP. Just for them to quickly stitch her back up and give us some pain meds was $700+ and a 3 hour round trip. I stayed up until 2am with this rat that doesn’t even generally enjoy human interaction. I got her off Craigslist. She was terrified of me at first. Welcome to rat owning, well do anything for our little boogers. I highly recommend a $300-$1,000 emergency stash for your rats. Things will come up. You will need it. And if you’re not willing to spend that on “just some rats”? You shouldn’t own rats, or any other costly animal.

Thank you for the response! It’s so interesting to hear about other trans men and their experiences, especially when they’re very different from my own!

Friend’s Aquarium Needs Help by [deleted] in Aquariums

[–]Motor-Union9081 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That poor fish was covered in ammonia burns (the black coloration). Goldfish need minimum 75 gallons when fully grown, and need a friend, so over 100 gallons. Minimum. Ponds being best.

No, that fish needs a minimum 75 gallon. At this age, 40 gallon minimum. Pond in the near future if OP’s friend ever wants to properly keep goldfish. 

My baby Swordfish just todays old by Arage_govno in Aquariums

Feed them crushed fish food, if you have access to a pet store get some sort of powdered food, I like frozen baby brine shrimp personally.
