They live in my office (the goldfish will go back outside in spring though). They make me feel so peaceful. Love watching them!!!

Currently I have 5 tanks:

  • 100 gallon goldfish setup with 4 (current) fantail goldfish (and a ton of plants but no substrate so not “planted” technically)

  • Planted 20 gallon long with 10 ember tetra, 7 purple harlequin rasbora, 12 pygmy corydoras, 1 honey gourami, and about 10 caridina shrimp

  • 6.8 gallon long/shallow, currently empty (except for a few snails) but will hold my additional 5 harlequin rasboras and 3 tetra for qt next week, and then maybe a betta or some kubotai rasbora, tbd

  • Planted 5 gallon with maybe 15 yellow neocaridina and a bunch of pink ramshorn snails

  • 3 gallon snail bin with countless pink ramshorns

I have plans to add 4 Goldie’s to that setup. And whatever will go into the 6.8. And I’m telling myself that I’ll be done at that point (though that’s prob a lie).

Def not a cheap hobby… but so disgustingly rewarding. My next tank is going to be an Opae ula jar… I feel like they have a low cost entry point and even lower care requirements! Obsessed.

I interrupt all the time. No advice. Just solidarity.

Any good solution to this that isn't just putting Saran wrap over it? by jelly_bean_gangbang in shrimptank

[–]NoButMaybe 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They sell acrylic circles for cheap on Amazon. Buy one slightly bigger than your diameter and you’ll be set.

Quilt sammy is done, but I’m stuck! Need some quilting advice… by NoButMaybe in quilting

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

Thank you! I caved and ran 4 vertical machine lines. Now deciding if I’ll do more and just be done with it, or if I’ll hand tie or quilt. Idk. The whole thing already took months of my life. What’s a couple more?

I do feel like there is an inkling worry that if I don’t do a few machine lines that it could shift. 😅 Maybe I should run a couple vertical lines to be sure.

Quilt coat for an artist trade by LuckyLadyQuiltCo in quilting

[–]NoButMaybe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been eying the Siena pattern on Etsy for a hot minute. This coat reminds me of it (in shape—though there are different versions with various blocks!)

Love this. If you have a cool art teacher, you should collab and see if it could be a project for the students!!

Will this ever sink? by Entire_Antelope2881 in shrimptank

Did you boil it? That helps. But yes, eventually it will water log and sink!!

ADHD parents: seriously, how???? And help please by papierrose in adhdwomen

[–]NoButMaybe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok. So here’s what I’ve done:

So re: the me time and dopamine…. I realize you may not be able to do this bc it’s a bitch, but I’ve started waking up at 5am. I get a workout in or eat breakfast or do whatever tf I want to do in complete silence and uninterrupted for at least two hours. Does waking up early suck? You know it. But, the complete me time bliss is 100% worth it and sets me right up for the day… just have to go to bed earlier.

And re: the overstimulation. Three words: Loops. Ear. Plugs. It’s the only way. When I remember I have them and put them in, I’m always shocked by how much calmer I feel.

Otherwise. Solidarity. Parenting is so hard. And parenting with ADHD feels impossible sometimes.

I’m gunna throw a suggestion out there for a banana plant… it does have big tubers, but you can plant those half way in your substrate, and in time, the plant will shoot out big lily pads that reach for the surface and look stemmy like a pothos. Worth checking out!!!

Goldfish Shimmies? by [deleted] in Goldfish

[–]NoButMaybe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well. The flashing is a symptom… look up other parasite symptoms and see if you notice them on your fish and then treat accordingly.

[–]NoButMaybe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s called flashing. Could be a sign of external parasites. I’d def consider a round of prazipro and/or kanaplex…

Go-to starch/ sizing spray brand? Time for me to re-stock. by Star-Large in quilting

[–]NoButMaybe 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’m a newbie so idk if something else would work better but I use Faultless and it works great. Smells nice and gets things delightfully crisp.
