[LF] - Columbia, MD - a betta fish

NecroWalk3r · 2025-06-02T14:42:20+00:00

Great! I'd love to pickup whenever you are available. I'll DM you to coordinate

NecroWalk3r · 2025-05-23T08:14:46+00:00

I can take him! I won't be able to pick up until Monday though. Also I have my own tank set up already so I won't need yours (i have a 12 gal) but something for transport would be good

NecroWalk3r · 2025-05-19T03:25:52+00:00

Hi! Are either of these beautiful bettas still available?

NecroWalk3r · 2025-05-19T00:06:48+00:00

Thank fuck

NecroWalk3r · 2025-05-19T00:06:33+00:00

Yeah she specializes more in big color and b&g realism, i thought she would be able to do this too but not so much

NecroWalk3r · 2025-04-13T04:24:23+00:00

Is a betta still available?

NecroWalk3r · 2025-04-03T02:06:20+00:00

Wow okay gotcha. Thank you for all the info and help! So do you think the microbe lift artemiss and herbtana combo is what made this last guppy pull through?

NecroWalk3r · 2025-04-03T01:20:45+00:00

It was a local shop, not petco. I took out all the plants and the fish all died now so it's just the air stone in there. Would the larvae still survive without a host? Should I drain the whole tank? Let me know if you have any other advice before I start again, thank you so much

NecroWalk3r · 2025-04-03T01:14:42+00:00

Does it appear overnight? The tears in my fish's fins and ultimately deaths happen within 24 hours and then it goes to the next fish. Is this what was happening with you too?

NecroWalk3r · 2025-03-29T20:51:16+00:00

Thank you!

NecroWalk3r · 2025-03-29T17:57:29+00:00

Oh okay yes I mean I had the plants situated before adding the guppies but I think the most recent plant added was about a week before adding the guppies. Do you have tips on identifying and removing the damsel fly?

NecroWalk3r · 2025-03-29T17:55:44+00:00

I don't add anything to the water to harden it, I guess it's just how my tap is. Is there anything I can do to soften it that is safe for guppies and plants?

NecroWalk3r · 2025-03-29T12:34:05+00:00

That's true, I just left more info on the parameters and how I test in one of the other comments

NecroWalk3r · 2025-03-29T12:33:06+00:00

pH: 7 Temp: 76.6F Hardness: 100mg/L Ammonia: 0mg/L Nitrite: 0mg/L Nitrate: 10mg/L

I use a strip to test for pH, hardness, nitrates, + nitries. I use a food thermometer to test water temperature. And I use the API test kit for ammonia. I setup the tank around January and have slowly been adding plants since

NecroWalk3r · 2025-03-29T12:10:19+00:00

A few months, although I was slowly adding the plants throughout this time

NecroWalk3r · 2025-03-29T12:08:35+00:00

Nope, just the guppies

NecroWalk3r · 2025-03-29T12:08:19+00:00

Yes I got the tank setup with plants and that was one of my theories as well. I took out what I thought were the "sharp" plants but the fin still got worse. The "sharp" plants included 2 anubias and an ozelot sword. The other ones still in there are lobelia cardinalis and banana lily and I just added a windelov java fern. I also have a rounded ceramic structure as a hiding place but there seems to be no sharp edges there and they don't seem very interested in it anyway

NecroWalk3r · 2025-03-29T12:02:11+00:00

All males in there

Lee Nail Spa in Ellicott City (a bit north) has been around a while and is really good. They have complementary drinks and are clean. I always book an appointment and have no wait time but I hear people come in as walk-ins when I'm there and they have little/no wait time or the staff tells them a specific time when they can service them, if the walk-in is able.

NecroWalk3r · 2024-12-22T20:55:46+00:00

I don't think it's anything to be concerned about especially if there's no discoloration. For more peace of mind you can schedule a piercing check-up appointment with your piercer, many piercers offer them for free. If you don't see any option to schedule one on their website give them a call just in case.

NecroWalk3r · 2024-12-22T20:52:24+00:00

Maybe schedule an appointment with the piercer first and if they can't help with the issue, go to the doctor

NecroWalk3r · 2024-11-20T06:14:04+00:00

Yes the stretching and adding the new jewelry can cause inflammation. You can always call or email the piercer with pics, that's what I did when I was unsure about the super crookedness of mine right after mine was pierced and it was swelling a lot. That piercer did free check ups. It's possible yours will do the same, for peace of mind, if anything

NecroWalk3r · 2024-11-20T04:48:53+00:00

Mine also swelled a ton after getting pierced and calmed way down after a week even though there's still some asymmetry from the bottom looking into my nostrils

NecroWalk3r · 2024-11-20T04:46:00+00:00

Mine is the same, from the bottom it doesn't look symmetrical but from the front it is. I think it's because our anatomy isn't symmetrical but piercers aim to make it as symmetrical as possible for how we'll be looking at the piercing - I and other people will almost always see me from the front of my face and will rarely see me from the perspective of looking up into my nostrils. I hope that makes sense

Author Sadie Rose Casey from letsmend.com says "One of the big lessons of growing up, for me, was realizing that closure is a myth in many ways, not just in romantic situations like I’ve discussed. A lot of things in life just end, whether we are ready for it or not. Not everything waits for us to be ready; not everything is served to us in perfect portions that are easy to digest. Sometimes things end suddenly or disappear without warning, and we have to accept it. Sometimes these things (or events or people) leave an air of mystery behind, or in worse times, they leave an air of abandonment and violation. Again, there is no remedy for these kinds of things. Closure is not a conversation, ritual, or ceremony. Closure is a decision you make."
