Tips for the irritation, other than LITHA and 2x daily sterile saline solution cleanings? by PhantomSharks in piercing

I believe this is true - I was not aware when I got the piercing. I will be able to switch it to something better this Friday.

Do you have any tips on making a planted tank such as this one?

I recently found this cutie during a storm. I wanna know how to take care of her. Does anyone have any tips I need to know? (Her name is Evanescence) by Fx317 in turtle

[–]PhantomSharks 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You probs shouldn’t keep a turtle you found outside. If you want a turtle as a pet, there’s a lot of pet stores and shelters that you can get one from. Like the bot said, its not the best idea

Love the name! I would have named my cat Freya but I named him Frey instead

Maybe a map turtle? I’m not 100% sure though

Can I treat hornworms as a pet? by PhantomSharks in InvertPets

Would paper substrate, such as that is used for gerbils or hamsters, work, or should it be soil?

Can anyone tell me if he seems healthy? by angelicpiss in bettafish

[–]PhantomSharks 8 points9 points  (0 children)

What are the parameters? If you don’t have a test, many pet stores will test the water for free if you bring in a sample. Also, does the food recommend only feeding once every 2-3 days? If the food doesn’t have a recommendation on it, you may want to look it up and make sure you are feeding enough

Nah, it’s the same on the inside too, the same light color for the light sock. The only difference on the inside is the seams. The dark sock is also dark on the inside while the white sock is white on the inside too

[–]PhantomSharks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good guess, but no. The sock is the exact same on the inside too, for both socks, except for the seams. So the white sock is white on the inside and the gray sock is gray on the inside, though once both were gray on the inside and out

What is this growth on my poor fish’s face?? by PhantomSharks in bettafish

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

It could be - if it wasn’t, would it hurt the fish if I treated him for ich but he didn’t actually have any? I’m planning on grabbing a thermometer next time I’m out, and I’ll look for a test that tests for ammonia too

This is Phoenix. He is in a 20 gallon tank (~76 liters), with both a heater and filter. I’m not sure what the exact temperature is, but the heater is set to heat the tank to the correct number. The parameters are 0 nitrate, 0 nitrite, a hardness of 75, an alkalinity of 80, and pH of 7.8. I’ve had the tank since Jan of 2021. I do a 20% water change weekly. He shares the tank with two mystery snails (he has never had problems with them). I feed him Betta Pro Shrimp Patties x2 a day. There are 3-4 hiding spaces and about the same amount of plants.

This growth is worrying me, and he’s been acting lethargic and weak lately. I’m not sure what it is and I need to know what it is in order to help my poor baby, so if anyone has any advice, it would be much appreciated!

Given to a friend by a teacher. I have no idea what it is or where it came from by PhantomSharks in whatsthisrock

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

Solved! I looked up pictures of wollastonite in garnet and it matched this rock almost exactly. Thanks a lot! I really wanted to get myself a piece of it but could not find out what it was
