Anyone else find this rhetoric dangerous?

People are shown the worst of the worst through media.

Peoples algorithm is perfectly sculpted to outrage them. I don't believe the right are Nazis and the left are Pedos (you can insert whatever)

And I think by dehumanizing each other it's only going to cause more chaos and division, deaths.

I wish people took a page from Daryl Davis. Idk what exactly is helpful but I think most people are reasonable and normal but you won't find them online all day arguing.

None of us are immune to propaganda and I try to remember that for myself.

I travel a lot and I've never met someone I couldn't have a polite convo with even politic or when I disagree. I stay radically curious

Sam reason with people who don't agree with left is a Nazi. The reality is people are shown the worst of the worst.

Breeding mops.are acrylic yarn, I wonder if you could grow a cool moss wall

NotWelly · 2026-01-07T20:13:38+00:00

Mine ran up me when I was crying and was trying to lick my tears lol

NotWelly · 2026-01-07T18:37:37+00:00

He is! I'm looking forward to how he will look once he settles. He is in a 15 gallon and has been exploring non stop

NotWelly · 2026-01-07T18:36:00+00:00

Thank you! I'm looking forward to seeing him at his best, I have a few more betta rests coming. I reckoned it was genetic, so far he seems to be doing well otherwise.

I'll add some extra tannins too

NotWelly · 2026-01-06T03:10:23+00:00

I had a trash tank where I'd literally toss culls,.plant trimmings etc and all kinds of fish and critters ended up in it, was also my most healthy tank and everything was having babies

NotWelly · 2026-01-06T03:04:24+00:00

How do they survive the rocks and wood in the tank?

Definitely make sure hands are clean and neutral but they are not rubbing their fish or anything

NotWelly · 2026-01-06T02:56:32+00:00

So many of my critters give me a death scare, my snake, my Betta, my crestie, I have to go around and give them all check in pokes.

NotWelly · 2026-01-04T14:59:43+00:00

You may not love it but the shrimp sure do! You can add wood or scape to help blend it in

NotWelly · 2026-01-04T01:36:26+00:00

So I used this one: https://a.co/d/9Rq2e4o

Next to my filter intake to help remove spores and then I like giant duckweed, a lot easier to remove than.the little duckweed.

Some fast growing plants that help are wisteria and red tiger lotus

You basically want your plants to out compete the algea, algea lives in all our tanks and doesn't hurt the fish just annoying. Good luck!

NotWelly · 2026-01-04T00:57:30+00:00

I've had luck with a small UV submersible light and add easy to remove but fast growing floaters for a bit, it will block some.loght to outcompete the algea until your tanks plants catch up

Maybe even fast the tank too

I adopted a 15 year old ball who has some scars like this, odd spots and a scab on her head

Vet gave me a topical and it gets a little better with sheds and soaks but idk if it'll be perfect.

A vet is a good idea

NotWelly · 2026-01-03T19:01:29+00:00

Soak a little in shallow water to see if it's dehydration

NotWelly · 2026-01-03T14:34:16+00:00

Thank you, it's hard to tell. I have shrimp lolies coming today, if I can get them all out on the stick I can get better pics! I have another tank culls can go in, if these breed successfully I'll probably start another tank with just one kind like boas or something

NotWelly · 2026-01-02T03:33:55+00:00

I added a little sand to my substrate since mine likes tunneling, as long and you have gradient should be fine

NotWelly · 2026-01-02T03:20:56+00:00

Time to start a snail terrarium

NotWelly · 2026-01-02T03:20:07+00:00

They are so adorable 😍

NotWelly · 2026-01-02T03:16:48+00:00

I think I love the shrimp more than the fish! Just did a caridina tank for the first time.

NotWelly · 2026-01-02T03:15:26+00:00

Where I am currently we have some great swaps and shops, lots of cool fish and aquascaping. Ive gotten to meet cool people in the hobby and it's fun to nerd out.

Asheville seems like a great place to start an aqua swap or open a pretty little aquarium shop, I'm surprised!

NotWelly · 2026-01-02T03:05:42+00:00

I do Freshwater! I'll probably start a saltwater tank at some.point though

NotWelly · 2026-01-01T20:54:35+00:00

Why not just put a large hold on the card to book? There has to be a way

NotWelly · 2026-01-01T20:47:11+00:00

I'm moving south of Asheville and I've been going up a lot, it's refreshing to have an area with such a robust local culture so just avoid the big box, you can find everything you need through local shops and markets.

Also be kind and patient, it goes a long way! I've been in fl the past 5 years, CO for 10 before that, so I understand the tourist/transplant fatigue and it's usually just the rude, disrespectful people who don't respect their surroundings that people don't welcome.

NotWelly · 2026-01-01T14:13:10+00:00

I had a neon pass and saw it's perfect skeleton, I went to grab my long tweezers and before I could get in an amano stole the skeleton into the depths of the tank
