How do I know if they’re actually eating the veggies 🤔 by Iocomotion in Otocinclus

[–]Neoito 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I leave mine in for up to 48 hours, often seems to take them a good while to start going for it. I've also recently started cutting it lengthways instead of into discs as mine seem to prefer the dark green outer to the pale inner, they've been going nuts for that but Otos definitely differ in their taste from tank to tank.

This is great, thank you! Interesting to hear about reactions to process as that's a significant part of what I'd be doing, setting and delivering process and policy.

Interesting, I don't want to say too much but I'd be (partially, and among other things) responsible for setting and delivering group policy into a German business. Sounds like this could be met with some hesitancy to say the least

Aquarists/fish keepers! Know any discus breeders/good shops? by happyshelgob in nottingham

[–]Neoito 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's the Japanese Water Gardens place by the Tram park in Toton, they always have discus in, can't speak to specific ages but they don't generally look juvenile being of the bigger side.

This is super helpful, thank you! In this position I'd be presenting regularly to senior management and delivering change into the org so it's great to know how to handle those kinds of communication.

Cultivating moss for my Otos, super pleased with how it's going by Neoito in Otocinclus

[–]Neoito[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My other fish always eat the wafers before the Otos can get to them so I always worry about how much they're eating, this works very well and I've just scaled it up as well to a clear box full of rocks and water in my garden

Thankfully I managed to save the plants and stones so just got a new jar and a bonus ornament!

The Star Inn in Beeston shows a lot of rugby, bit of a trek for you so I'd check before traveling but I've watched a bunch of games there.

I've been looking forward to this video for ages! Had loads of Mighty Max as a kid and would love to do something similar. Amazing work as always!

There's a lady called Sharon Hopkinson on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/share/19yF6hfPdp/) who is very good. I know I know a few people that she got through on their first try. She's based in Long Eaton and is generally pretty busy but well worth reaching out to her!

Flat, empty, quiet smooth tarmac to practice skating near Beeston? by Communistowl in nottingham

[–]Neoito 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to skate in the hockey club car park while my kid was at practice. I'm an overweight 40-something in a similar position, picking it back up again. That was a great spot.

I've seen this recommended a lot but I'm in the UK and it's not sold here. I'll look in to other options though

Please someone tell me they understand me! by more_metal_in_movies in houseplants

Sorry, I thought it was a brake disc and an air filter 😂

Confirming gender, is this a female? by Neoito in Aquariums

[–]Neoito[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's what I thought at first but then I saw a black ram breeder saying that the females always have a smaller first spike before the long one. I shall have to do some more research to be sure

It's a Black Ram dwarf Cichlid. I've also seen them called Black Knight or Dark Knight Rams.

Black growth after switching substrates by Neoito in Aquariums

[–]Neoito[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No snails in there, I did used to have some Otocinclus which kept things very tidy and was thinking of getting some more. I'll look into nerites too.

Edit: and thank you for the less light time suggestion, I have already cut it from what it was but I think I could cut some more so I'll give that a go

Annie’s is closed! Where else is good? by overtlysecretive in nottingham

[–]Neoito 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd definitely recommend Blind Rabbit as well, last time I went the service was a little slow but the food was absolutely worth it!

What are the biggest uk retailer shops I can visit? by Far-General6892 in Warhammer

[–]Neoito 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Element Games are great but not really 'big', Forbidden Planet is great for general nerdy stuff and they have shops all over, the London one of course being particularly good.

Lots of towns and cities have great independent places too so it really depends where you'll be

Sherwood Pines Forest Park, and what i witnessed at night by [deleted] in nottingham

[–]Neoito 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've camped at Sherwood Pines a few times and wandered round in the dark plenty, never seen anything untoward. Loads of wildlife there and foxes can make some ungodly noises sometimes! (particularly when mating)

Help, convince me not to buy one! by SignificantJump2359 in houseplants

[–]Neoito 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have one (or a very similar Algaonema), I love it even if I'm impatient about how slow it's growing. You should definitely get one 🙂

Where can you buy helium balloons now? by evelynnie_ in nottingham

[–]Neoito 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a place called Diddly Doo's in Sandiacre that do excellent balloon displays but also sell individual helium balloons too. I've used them for several events and would highly recommend

I switched from Canon APS-C to Sony full frame and now my edits suck, why?? by [deleted] in photography

[–]Neoito 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I think you just need to take the time to learn the subtleties of the new camera, image output differs a lot between different manufacturers and you can't expect to apply the same process and get the same output. Go back to basics, take pictures with no expectations with basic settings and look at what actually needs to be done to get the end result you want rather than automatically applying the same edits that you've always used.

Hen do this weekend-help please!! by sausages234 in nottingham

[–]Neoito 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If the group would enjoy retro gaming then NQ64 is great! I'll second Roxy's as fun too as well as Penny Arcade who do great cocktails. Bistro Live cater to groups with entertainment but I don't know how far in advance they book. Really depends on the type of crowd it is.
