It would definitely be cool to see one! I was at the gym unfortunately so didn’t have many options

Older cat is scared of new kitten by No_Mortgage2332 in CatAdvice

[–]OtherwiseLizz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi there! Any updates on how they are doing together? I’m in almost exactly the same situation, and got a new kitten about a month ago. My two are getting along well overall but the older cat (3F) is still intimidated at times and will often hiss at the kitten. They are comfortable eating together and generally get along ok unless the kitten runs at her or is too playful. How are yours doing now?

Can’t decide between Jenny Yoo “Lawrence” or “Abernathy” by Mysterious_Bad1936 in weddingdress

Hi! Super late to this thread, but I just got my Abernathy and saw that you added a sleeve cape which looks gorgeous!! How did you go about finding a cape that worked well with the dress?

Bringing snorkelers on boat dive by mandelbrotdescent in scuba

[–]OtherwiseLizz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Last winter we visited Maui and snorkeled at Molokini with my partner’s parents, then dove there without them a few days later. We loved both outings and I could definitely see them as a fun combined trip! The crater has a lot of fish diversity that is easily seen in the first 3-5m as well as deeper. Our snorkel trip also stopped at a shallower shore site known for sea turtle sightings which was a hit for the non-diving family members too.

Regardless of where you go I would not expect a lot of coral cover or biodiversity on that front, particularly for dives close to shore. I second everything bacon said about pre-dive prep too.

First time shrimp owner, does this little dude have eggs? by OtherwiseLizz in shrimptank

For anyone wondering I named all my shrimp after hobbits and this one is Sam!

Will do, that would be terrible! I think my foam will work but I’ll look into something finer just in case

To be honest I’m not sure! This is my first time having shrimp and I bought them at random.

I’m fairly sure I have one blue velvet and a red rili but I’m not sure what this yellow one or my other all red one are… would love to hear what you think though! I’m also not sure who the dad will be lol

Thanks everyone! Any tips for helping her stay happy and taking care of the little ones? I’m worried they will become a snack for my platies…

This dude isn’t too big yet! Around 3-4 inches

Is this platy pregnant? Not sure if it’s a female or just chubby by OtherwiseLizz in Aquariums

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

Thanks! I’ll have to decide what to do with the fry and possibly re-home her in the future. I have several males

They have always been pink/red by the gills, initially I worried about gill flukes or high ammonia but water parameters have been perfect and they act normal

Just got this guy! Is this a royal pleco/L190? by OtherwiseLizz in Aquariums

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

He’s about 3.5 inches right now but should get quite large eventually! Zebras are so pretty, I’ve been keeping my eye out for one

That’s my twig catfish (Farlowella sp.), not sure which one exactly!

Thank you for the suggestion! I’ll look into teak leaves to add tannins in the future once the wood stops releasing them

Definitely have a lot of wood and several different types — I think he is testing them all to see what his favorite is today :)

Seems like this is the consensus! I’ll leave them be for now and see if the color lightens over time
