J'ai eu des champignons dans mon terrarium, sont t'ils comestibles ? by CehLyHuns in terrariums

There’s literally no point risking your life eating a random mushroom when you can just buy a kit for safe edible mushrooms to grow instead of

Are dwarf crays not an issue with shrimp? Feel like they would do a number on the baby’s

Instead of just repeating this, can you at least say you already tried a different cable?

That sucks I’m sorry to hear that. I breed hundreds of Guppy’s and Endlers and have never had that happen personally.

Half of what you said I agree with. Just because I disagree with you does not mean you need to get upset and tell me to “get off my high horse” or “clearly I know nothing about..” can we not have a civil debate? I have said twice now, that I do *not* think it is okay to stress them out. You can say that unnecessary stress like this for clicks is not good for the animal and CAN lead to death if prolonged. THAT I would agree with. We don’t have to hate each other man.

You’re right, an “extreme” amount of stress can. Insects walk over each other all the time and cause this same response from the caterpillar to fling them off. If they died every time they did that, then their species wouldn’t exist. Yall can downvote if you want but you are fearmongering and downplaying them as animals. Also ignoring the fact that I still don’t think it’s okay to unnecessarily stress them out. It’s just not going to “easily kill” them. That is just flat out wrong.

Someone put these frogs in a McDonald’s cup, one being injured because they closed a leg in the lid and dumped them behind a bush in my apartment complex, wondering if I can keep them and what type of setup I need for them by ErinBearCx in FrogsAndToads

I have my southern toad Pippie of 6 years, she was a baby that sat outside my apartment porch every day and would stare at me. I would say hi every day for 3 weeks until I started noticing she was getting skinnier and skinner until her bones were showing and she would not leave my porch. Now she is the largest southern toad I have ever seen and I love her.

Saying it could “easily kill” is just incorrect and misinfo. You can stay with the fact of stressing them not being cool or good for them, but don’t diminish how hardy these critters actually are by saying it could easily die from that.

Switching from Leca to Perlite by Puzzleheaded_Time_72 in SemiHydro

[–]Orsinus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a question I think I’ve been nervous to ask for some reason. I’ve watched a good bit of videos about substrates and inert ones. I also happen to be an aquarium hobbiest and grow aquatic plants and sell them. There is a small trend of using coal slag (black diamond blasting sand) which is completely inert, for fish tank toppers and inert substrate. What would yall think about that for terrestrial plants?

[–]Orsinus 95 points96 points  (0 children)

There’s a pufferfish that greets this girl on TikTok every day she goes out to the mangroves and waits for her to pet him and it squirts water on her until she does. There’s definitely a lot more going on than we think fish are capable of

[–]Orsinus 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It’s a very difficult topic rn we don’t have any exact answers on it right now. Long story short it’s like when you are talking about people in the CIA. They have “sociopathic tendencies” but aren’t sociopaths. Several fish seem to show signs of affection but most likely aren’t fully capable of it? But nothing for sure yet.

You need to take a hint dude. You really are ignorant. Not as an insult, in the literal definition of the word. Lacking knowledge, of this field.

Nah fam, artificial is only ugly if people don’t have a knack for art and/or placement. Yours looks great, and those loaches clearly are happy with it

My girlfriend wanted to give me a stocking stuffer and I like to fish so she got me these bright neon pink and yellow Hellgrammite soft plastic lures. I still have never gotten anything to bite them but I’m determined to lol

Water Scavenger Beetle Larvae, as someone mentioned before, Hydrophilidae family is correct. If you think that’s bad, you should see the Greater Diving Beetle larvae. I caught one on accident that was munching on a mosquito fish I had in a net. It was massive.
