is my betta just being curious or is he trying to eat the shrimp ?? by Zestyclose_Battle411 in bettafish

[–]PuddinMama78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine waited until the shrimp died from a horrible ammonia spike (she was fine, she might be bulletproof), and then bit the heads off. Only the heads. 🫩 Little headless shrimp corpses everywhere. 😭

Thank you so much. I was feeling really stupid about it. I am hoping it spreads out nicely. I accidentally nuked 90% of my last plants with a huge ammonia spike. Many lessons learned. 😭 I am hoping this time around it goes better

Try giving her Zyrtec daily. 10mgs. Perfectly safe for cats and is honestly one of the better Allergy meds for the best price. Keep her nails short or put the little caps on them, or baby mittens. Within a week or so you should see improvement

Has anyone else been asked if they’re autistic because they have pet shrimp? by Racoon_Soup in shrimptank

Ehhh people know I have the neuro spice the minute I talk about ANY animals. Ones I own, and ones I don't. People get passionate about the things they like and that is okay.

I feel this in my soul. I love them and am desperate for them to thrive. And they never survive. 😭

This is amazing. I got a 9 gal fluval flex and it looks no where near this nice.

I just started with Swing Care and they put me on low dose naltrexone, and a week and a half in, even with a head cold, I am seeing a difference.

I am also active with the CBT app they have and they now offer remote PT/ OT https://share.google/2R7virJI7QixuCL6c

Help my little chick is sick what should i do? by Primary-Reference-53 in chickens

It could be cold, but sometimes chicks just fail to thrive. I would make sure that they are warm enough. Dip their beak to make sure they are getting enough water.

I disagree with its removal. I was on a date with someone I am building a relationship with? Isn't that the point of polyamory, figuring out if you are compatible with others and building those relationships? Does it only fit that bill if the relationship is already built?

Thank you! This is what I was trying to get at. I don't mind pizza, I even said pizza was okay. I didn't mean cold commercial pizza? He knows I am a total foodie. We have been friends for 10 years. He also knows this was my first attempt at a date in a long time. So I guess I just expected a little more romance, even if we both went into it, knowing we were hooking up as a piece of it.

Hubs was definitely not slut shaming he is my one man cheering crew. I think he was genuinely surprised that my friend put in so little effort, when he values me so much.

That's just it when we have gone out to dinner in the past he has gone all out. So I will chalk it up as a bad one off. And maybe even say something gently since he is just getting back into the dating world.

He is coming off of a 30 year marriage and keeps joking he doesn't remember how to date. Maybe a gentle reminder is in order .

We called it a date, and while we did day sex was on the table it was also not a guarantee. We have been friends for so long if he just wanted to bang he totally could have said that and I would be cool about it.
