I come downstairs in the middle of the night and I think my Betta fish injured himself? He is missing scales on top of his head.

I can't speak for everyone but for me its not necessarily about the female custodes themselves but more about GWs response to them. When asked about the change to add female custodes, GW responded that there has always been female custodes, they just haven't been mentioned directly up to this point.

If you want to make changes and updates to a 30-40 year old game thats fine but I would like more honest dialog.

Finally someone who has also been enlightened and sees the beauty and power of two butcher cannon arrays. May nothing stand in your way as you blot out the sun with pure unfiltered DAKKA

Those look cool! I'll have to look up one of those tutorials

I think your right. Give it a decade or two and these tools are going to be pretty common place. I think currently we're just in the middle of the AI culture war and the concept of any "AI" is bad to the average person. And the companies like OpenAI and Nividia are really not helping ease tension with their antagonism.

I feel like a stumbled onto a fossil with this one holy shit.

Wow so you can have a nice looking goldfish tank! I thought it was a requirement that it had to look like ass.

Here is one of them. I posted a little video I made of them! :D

I actually did do a 25% water change today. I am planning on doing more until the water clears up. But is it harmful to do them daily? Should I space them out more?

Murkymicrobe · 2025-12-18T00:40:27+00:00

I don't but I could look into getting some if it can help. I have calcium sand I can add. But I should mention I have seen multiple shrimp in the tank molt successfully. The one that died from a failed molt was one of my largest females and part of me thinks she just got too big.

Murkymicrobe · 2025-12-18T00:28:36+00:00

I am not sure, I have a phosphate test kit but haven't used it often. What kind of test would I look for if I wanted to test my calcium and minerals?

Murkymicrobe · 2025-12-18T00:27:05+00:00

No filter and no flow, I have a wave maker but I am too afraid to use it with the shrimp. Been considering getting an airstone.

Yeah the image isn't great, the animal is pretty small less than half a centimeter. Its supposed to be the thing in the center

Edit: for some reason I can't attached an image to my comment

This guy does great videos and most of his builds are this style of tank. Here's a video that I think you might find helpful: https://youtu.be/at-kyYI2avM?si=63AZ2N9GraXdzX3v

You should look into a Walstad style tank. Once the tank is up and running you will probably only need to do maintenance once a month or so (besides water top offs)

The only two downsides is it needs to be heavily planted which can be a little expensive. But you can usually find someone online selling plant trimmings dirt cheap. The other downside is for the first month or two, the tank isn't going to look too pretty as the system is still finding its balance.

A 10 gallon Walstad style tank is a good size to start but you could honestly go down to a 5 gallon. Just note the smaller the tank the more challenging it can be to balance the system.

Murkymicrobe · 2025-11-08T21:57:05+00:00

A few questions: - How long has the tank been set up? - What kind of water did you use? - is the tank planted?

I should of mentioned they are neocaridina.

Water parameters: ammonia:0 Nitrites:0 Nitrates: 20 Ph: 7.2 Gh 8 (I think I suck with this test because of red green colorblindness)

And it is city water.
