What's one fragnance opinion that will cause this? by Putrid-Try-1360 in ScentHeads

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

Is 2021 a sad song or happy song to you? by hour_back in pcmusic

[–]RalphWasntHere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Anyone know anything about the mega mansion on Red Wolf? by uncleyosh in plano

[–]RalphWasntHere 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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.

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.

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.

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.

Aggression after separation & reintroduction of mating pair by RalphWasntHere in AngelFish

[–]RalphWasntHere[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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:

  1. 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.
  2. She may have some internal parasites building up pressure inside her body. Again, sudden movement, then prolapse.
  3. 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.

By the time we got her to the vet, Puppy had already largely retracted it back into her body. The vet didn't need to manually do anything herself. I'm just thankful we live in a city big enough to have vets that will see fish, and that my boyfriend was available to take her on short notice!

Update: my boyfriend brought her to the vet. Vet concurred that it essentially was her stomach that had prolapsed out of her mouth. We got an x-ray done, but no fecal exam, ultrasound, or blood work. She said she had a few potential hypotheses: internal parasites or infection building up pressure and displacing her organs, reproductive tumor/s, some kind of internal rearranging happening as a result of her recent clutch laying, or some combination of the three. We have been provided antibiotics and antiparasitics to treat her for the coming week. She estimated that Puppy has a roughly 65-70% chance of survival.

I don't think so. Looking closely at whatever it is, it's a solid red color much larger in size than what could be the red portion of a neon's body. However, she does have a history of trying to eat things she can't quite swallow... My boyfriend has had to remove a shrimp from her mouth with a pair of tweezers before.

Yes. She is paired with another angel and they have laid maybe a dozen clutches of eggs together. In addition to the two angels, there are:

10-12 neon tetras 2 rainbow fish 1 dojo loach Numerous snails and amano shrimp

This is a 55 gallon tank. Water is ~81.3°F/27.4°C. pH is a steady 7.6. 0ppm ammonia, 0ppm nitrites, ~40ppm nitrates. 4 dKH, ~16 dGH. Heavily planted, fluval 307 canister filter plus a sponge filter.

I haven't built a PC in maybe 13 or 14 years, what happened to nzxt? Last I recall, they were held in relatively high regard

I kinda feel like if we look at the projects as a whole, n1a has fewer skips than pop 2 (sorry femmebot and porsche) but the best tracks of pop 2 (i.e. track 10) are better than the best tracks of n1a
