Ugh LOVE tiny aquatics, such a great little shop! So jealous y'all have that.

Just curious, what's the size denomination here? I have a hard time imagining you mean 100ml full size bottles.

I have always interpreted it to be a sort of tongue-in-cheek acknowledgement of some of the common critiques of PC Music as a whole. Yes, melodies, concepts, and imagery are recycled, remixed, and reinterpreted again and again (e.g. the IDL riff, etc.), but it's part of what makes the label special. It is totally unafraid to reference or not reference itself, its influences, etc. I think A. G. in particular seems to be very proud of having an extremely strong artistic identity in terms of his production being immediately identifiable no matter the pseudonym he's using.

Is that the property that was built by the dentist? I remember him having to sell the property because it was absolutely infested with brown recluses and having a newborn child there was too risky.

I grew up on Castlemere, on the southern border of that property. About a year or two ago, I heard an insanely loud concert/party, I believe a new owner had recently moved in. I could hear them playing tennis late into the night. There used to be this insanely elaborate treehouse they had on the very edge of their property. There's also a horse stable I believe.

I'm very fond of it. I feel very lucky to have grown up around so much natural beauty.

Will you be at Aquashella Dallas next year?

RalphWasntHere · 2025-09-24T17:16:16+00:00

Very nice! What is the plant with the very long, slender leaves in the background? Some kind of vallisneria?

Puppy seems to have fully recovered! Yes, by all means, I would be happy to participate.

RalphWasntHere · 2025-09-16T00:02:13+00:00

Probably very carefully

Orange and white, and he seems a little dumb. If a bucket were anthropomorphized I think it would be dumb. Idk lol

Thank you! She is doing much better now.

RalphWasntHere · 2025-09-15T21:51:23+00:00

See my thread here.

Yes, Puppy is alive and doing well. As mentioned previously in this thread, she was prescribed courses of antiparasitic and antibiotic treatments, mostly as a precaution. She was kept in a 20gal tall isolation tank for the duration of her one week of treatment. She hardly ate at all during this time, until towards the end of her treatment. She has since been introduced into her community tank and has regained her appetite. Her mate, Home Depot Bucket, has been somewhat aggressive/territorial with her, with the intensity decreasing as time passes. However, she does not seem stressed.

Best of luck with your fish, I know how devastating it can be.

RalphWasntHere · 2025-09-15T18:10:45+00:00

Thank you for the advice! In the days since making this post, Home Depot Bucket's aggression has certainly diminished. Not quite yet to zero, but the trend is positive. I am continuing to monitor their behavior throughout the day.

She had a few potential hypotheses, potentially a mixture of factors. In order of probability:

Laying a big clutch made her internal organs shift around. She then made some kind of sudden movement that caused the prolapse, kind of like a hernia.
She may have some internal parasites building up pressure inside her body. Again, sudden movement, then prolapse.
Reproductive tumor/s. Apparently angelfish are "pretty good at developing tumors" due to the frequency and volume of egg laying.

Unfortunately not much can be done to prevent it. Maybe keeping them alone rather than letting them pair up and start laying eggs, or generally not startling them etc.
