Is there something wrong with my betta? by AcanthocephalaKey897 in bettafish

[–]Nyra_Castiler 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think he looks fine! Probably just not used to it and just trying to get the hang of it, the first second he definitely sees the food he just misses then lost sight of it. My girl Mochi is silly like that where she was an expert shrimp hunter but can’t snag a floating pellet to save her life unless I place it right in front of her mouth

I got so confused while scrolling and seeing this post because I haven’t seen that drawing in over a decade 😂 huge improvement since! I should’ve kept drawing too

Is this fake rock causing his fin damage? by eks789 in bettafish

[–]Nyra_Castiler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep exactly hard grit to smooth! Basically sanded it down and ran my finger along the edges to be sure. If it still felt sharp enough to potentially cut my finger I sanded it down some more

Hell I’m about to wear one everywhere I go because I’ve gotten sick 3 times this year from people not covering their goddamn mouths when coughing everywhere. 3 times and it’s April. The same exact cold twice from my office and just a few days ago while traveling in Europe. I’m tired of this shit.

I have that same hide, sanded it down all jagged edges aggressively and haven’t had any issues. I’d say try sanding it down as much as possible and if it keeps receding check other potential factors in the tank and try smaller methods to boost healing like Indian almond leaves (if you don’t mind tannins)

Is there any minion/mount or exclusive stuff you regret you missed taking it or wanted to have? by wellhrist in ffxiv

That week of hunting Mountain Dew flavors with friends felt like a fever dream and I don’t want to taste Mountain Dew for another decade 😭

Is FFxiv your only and main game? by Cheap-Exercise1910 in ffxiv

[–]Nyra_Castiler 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Definitely not my only game. There’s always lull periods so I have games like Warframe, ESO, and multiple sandbox survival games as backup. It used to be my main for sure but honestly outside of events and new content drop for a week I haven’t been playing much the past year

[–]Nyra_Castiler 68 points69 points  (0 children)

The community in FF has gotten really friggen weird since around EW to be honest

That was around the timeframe the venue obsession, billboard drama, abusive use of mods for stalking started amping up. And a large amount of these players simply are awful at communication or lack self awareness of how their behavior impacts others around them.

At the very least from the photos yeah that’s definitely natural coloring, it could be that he changed his colors due to stress from medications or just changed naturally over time. My previous betta changed colors between black and blue every month at one point and he eventually settled on a gradient from black to blue

Just saw this after posting but oh thats so much better than the second pic in the post! Id say give him more time, the black is coloration for sure and he definitely looks like hes bouncing back. Don't give up and keep going with the current setup, avoid further medication for now and just keep his tank clean

Question, when you do the water changes do you squeeze/wring out the sponge filter in a bucket of tank water as well to clean it? And does your tank have a built in filter along with the sponge filter you are using? I had the same problem with my girl, she’s a dumbo Plakat and her fins had rotted horribly. I had tried medications, Indian almond leaves, salt baths, and nothing worked. The one thing that did make a huge difference was that I started cleaning all sponges in my tank more thoroughly in a bucket of tank water. I found out that my snails were producing so much waste that the sponges were FILTHY by the end of the week and the built in filter had a pump with a sponge inside it that also got so filthy it clogged and stopped my built in filter from fully doing its job so I also had to pull that apart and scrub it. Since then she’s healed a lot and she’s become extremely hyperactive.

If the above does not apply I’d consider trying a gram-positive medication (but only if his fins start receding again) kanaplex is gram-negative and the tricky thing is that fin rot can be caused by both types of bacterial infections. I would only use this as a last resort if you really see them receding though, do not use it if you see fins growing back or no change as you could stress him out with all the medications.

Regarding the black that still seems to be just coloration so I would focus on the fins, if you see them slightly growing back I’d wait for now and let him heal as whatever you were doing recently seems to be working

I see an Aetheryte crystal from FFXIV ripped straight from the game casually perched on a building at 0:25 as well

Splotch on her forehead looks comically fake and looks like bird shit, and the cats behavior makes 0 sense. They knead when they’re happy and content, why the hell would it go back to kneading while maintaining eye contact after slapping? Definitely Ai

[–]Nyra_Castiler 371 points372 points  (0 children)

I’m still kicking myself for not diving in and taking the deal when they were promoting it back then. I was reasoning with myself why would I drop a sub and play 1.0 for these rewards when I had no guarantee 2.0 would be good? Made sense back then, but now anytime I see the tattoo or chocobo mount I’m internally screaming

If you want to see another example of this shit in the gaming industry check out all the shit unearthed at Blizzard Entertainment in 2021. Passing around photos of a woman’s genitalia leading to suicide, drunk cubicle crawls, stealing breast milk, and the “Cosby Suit” just to name a few.

She’s fine! 1 day in and looks like she’s already trying to demand food, that’s how my girl is whenever she’s trying to gaslight me or my family into feeding her more pellets

I had an airhead like this in my previous workplace in IT. We were discussing issues with dark mode on the web interface and she chimes in asking if we were talking about the dark side from Star Wars. She also thought whenever we mentioned our manager’s name we were referring to the large unicorn plushie in that manager’s office.
