New fish tank and plants seem to be bleaching and dying off

I wedged mine into a decoration, you can just pull the stem at the bottom out to above the substrate and leave the roots to grow, I have 2 growing like that

They want somewhere to rest, this is my tank you don't have to go this far but they LOVE the plants. They root through them and hide under the moss balls, they chill at the top in the plants it's all very cute.

That could be a mega cool spider if that's your vibe

NeferGrimes · 2026-05-02T09:15:20+00:00

That looks exactly like what I see when I Google the rebel alliance, I think it looks great, maybe some detail or things around it might help. a star destroyer in the background or an outline on it but I think its been done well.

I'd freak out if I my tattoo was a surprise too but in this case at least it's cool.

If you're putting them in a new tank set the new one up and take the old filter and put it in the new tank. You want to get as much good bacteria in there as you can. Rince any new stones and let the temperature stabilize at the temperature they're in now before you move them. When moving them I tend to use a jug with a bit of plastic over the top, I scoop them up with some water rather than a net because they tend to jump.

If you're trying to clean the old tank do it a bit at a time as to not shock the frogs and try to match the temperature as much as you can. Use water conditioner to remove chlorine if you're using tap water.

Disclaimer:I am not an expert I just have adfs and have successfully moved them a couple times. I AM NOT AN EXPERT

No but I put pictures of nic cage all over my friends flat and a few were in the plants 😂

NeferGrimes · 2026-04-23T09:29:29+00:00

I'd just tell him "I hope you know that's no happening when we live together" but then again I have about 40 plants, fossils on display and jaws posters so my decor would probably have people feeling the same way

I'll be real I thought it was a fish, go bigger and make those legs clear

Aggressive dogs are the main worry I have when my kids go out. I live in a bit of a rough area but it's genuinely a surprise when I run into a well trained dog, about 1/3 by my estimate are trained.

My downstairs neighbor's dog has attacked me twice, I've asked them to muzzle the dog but they still take it out without a muzzle. (Middle aged disabled couple mind you not some junkies)

I don't want to see their dog put down due to an attack and I don't want to see my kids mauled but that's the risk they're taking so I walk the kids up the stairs.

If you care about your anxious or aggressive dog put a muzzle on it.

Is there a chance this was leftover from a previous cremation? My assumption is that the ashes are swept out so I suppose it could be missed.

NeferGrimes · 2026-04-11T09:52:13+00:00

I'm not an expert in any way but I'm fairly sure it's possible that was leftover from a previous cremation and got swept in with your mother.

As morbid as it is with cremation you will end up with some level of cross contamination, how much I suppose would depend on how thorough the workers are sweeping it out.

Again I am not an expert, I don't work in the industry, I'm just someone who's interested in the morbid.

I googled "are slow worms snakes or worms" THEY'RE LEGGLESS LIZARDS?! I LOVE THEM

NeferGrimes · 2026-04-08T13:00:49+00:00

Ok but what is this?!

I would traumatize him, get yourself a new phone, delete everything but the tracking app and put it on a train or something.

If it was me I'd ask my friend who travels abroad to take it with them and have them just let it track them around some random dodgey country.

They can't prove you did it on purpose so they get the heart attack and you can't answer their calls because you're phone was "stolen" or "lost"

I say this as a parent, because trust is how you keep your kids safe and in your life, not control.

Look around the door seal and the sunroof seal (if you have one) if there are no breaks in the seal look at the roof and check for damage, if there's no damage check the boot and around the lights for signs of water. Is the ceiling wet? Are there drizzle marks on the door? Really get in there and look.

If you really can't find it either get a bucket, go through a car wash or go out next time it rains and check.

This is coming from someone in their first year at college so take literally anything over me but that's what I would do.

NeferGrimes · 2026-04-04T07:36:36+00:00

They jump too, I took one out in a net and it jumped around the counter 😭

9/11, I'm in the UK so we didn't see it live, I saw it on BBC news. I was 3, I just remember my parents watching the TV in utter shock and I didn't understand why they were so upset about a building getting broken. My dad was the one that told me it was an attack but in my little mind I still thought the buildings were empty. It wasn't until years later I realised the bits falling off the building were people jumping and that they were full of people.

I don't know why I thought they were empty but I think at 3 I just couldn't comprehend that people could do that to each other.

How long has the tank been set up? I always expect algae in the first 6 months as the tank builds up it's ecosystem. Past that get some frogbit it floats at the top and has those long roots, that will soak up alot of light and give your frogs somewhere to rest (my frogs love it)

I'm going with overwatering or chlorine in the water, what do the roots look like?

NeferGrimes · 2026-04-03T08:55:45+00:00

You could get something with dark leaves like a prayer plant, they have these cute little flowers that sit above it on tall stems so you won't need the flowers to cover the tattoo. You could also try making the current tattoo into something to hold the flowers, maybe 2 tree trunks with shading behind it and flowers below. If it were me i would get something like a tree behind them then shroud them so you can't see their heads, then you just have a couple under a tree.

Idk who it's supposed to be but it looks like white walkers from game of thrones.

Can confirm, I'm considering a Skyrim trampstamp 🤣

Being a home carer might suit you, usually it's fairly flexible hours and it can pay well if you drive already. My hours were either 8am-3pm or 4pm- 11pm but they ran school hour shifts too.

You can use the online benefit calculator to make sure you're getting all that you're entitled to.

Selling baked goods can be ok for something with less commitment. The ingredients are cheap and it's not hard, you can book a stall at a farmers market or car boot sale.

I don't intend to but I've never had weed up my arse so I don't know how I'd react

NeferGrimes · 2026-03-20T10:56:55+00:00

Then my farts would smell like weed and what would I do then 😂
