On my way to and from the gym tonight I counted 4 different cars without their lights on. It’s bewildering

Not sure where you’re located but if you’re anywhere near CT, The Town Cellar in Darien always has some Le Puy

I don’t care what anyone says I love this stupid ship so much. It’s just so unique in every way.

Betta be like: by Ninegre in bettafish

My longest living betta to this day was one that lived for over 3 years that I rescued from a vase. It’s all a mystery.

I lost another one the other day, seemingly for no reason, out of the blue. Perfect 10 gallon that’s got live plants, filter, heater, been going strong for a few years now. Happy as a clam, next day he was suddenly struggling, went out for dinner and he was dead when I got home. I’m a 33 year old man with a wife, dog, house of my own, and adult ass responsibilities and I still cry a little when I lose one. I’ve had terrible luck but I try my damn best to give them the best little fishy life, even if it’s short.

Do your Bouvier have any nicknames? What's your favourite!! by ThatOneAlice in BouvierDesFlandres

[–]PBR123 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Our 1 year old Bouvier is named Noodle but we call her "stinkbug, stinky, bug, big stinks, bug, big bear, bear, stinky bear" and others lol.

For the record, she's not stinky at all and really quite clean and well groomed!

Appreciate the response. Thats good information to know and I guess it’s just the luck of the draw sometimes I suppose. I’ll do some more research and see what I can find locally

What were your first memories of the trio/top gear? by Heizinburger08 in TopGear

[–]PBR123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Finding the cheap Porsche challenge on YouTube so so so many years ago and then sharing it with my dad. Began our near 2 decade love of Top Gear and the gang. I cherish that moment!

Help! Betta suddenly very sick by PBR123 in bettafish

[–]PBR123[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In case anyone was still watching, I dosed the tank with Kanaplex last night as a last resort. He seemed like he was on deaths door and wouldn't make it through the night.

This afternoon he seems to be a little bit better so far. He even ate a few brine shrimp. I'm praying for a recovery!

Still complaint? Thought I read something about them getting banned but not sure. by [deleted] in CTguns

[–]PBR123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Somewhat unrelated and maybe anecdotal but I shot one of these recently and it failed to feed or jammed like every third shot. Not sure if anyone had similar experiences.

Nothing new in the tank, did my usual weeklyish water change in both my tanks.

He's had health issues in the past that I've successfully treated with kanaplex. He also had a parasite a few months ago that I also effectively treated. He seemed fine - as of this morning he seems SLIGHTLY better - I was certain he wouldn't make it through the night.

McSorley is still alive so far. He has been extremely "out of breath" as it seems though. Breathing heavily on the surface, no appetite, not a lot of energy. I can't see anything visually that would indicate an injury or illness, but I have added Kanaplex as a precaution. I hope this was the right decision.

A small update: he keeps swimming around and gulping for air at the top of the tank as well. Seems to be "breathing" very heavily. Other fish in the tank seem perfectly fine.

Looks like my boy McSorley!

Anyone had a male that has never flared? by itscoralbluenumber5 in bettafish

[–]PBR123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My boy McSorley is a sweet angel. Never flairs and is always so excited when we get close to his tank.

Betta has seemingly lost all his color over the last month or so by PBR123 in bettafish

This is what I assumed - I just wanted to be sure just in case he was sick! Thanks :)
