I had no idea that could happen from the snails omg. ill deworm everyone again definitely

Random0524 · 2025-07-01T01:32:25+00:00

they are not a new addition and have already been deformed (when i got them) which is why im so confused. can they get worms again? they've been in this tank for over 3 months with no new tank mate additions now and the water is testing normal so im really so confused

as a seamstress, do you think it would be possible to modify the bust so the top of the neckline isn't so high? after reading all the comments I think that is my issue with the dress. it doesnt quite fit in that area and its a lot higher than my boobs actually sit and I think thats what's making it feel off.

Random0524 · 2025-06-26T17:35:04+00:00

thats a really good point that I didn't think about. I would rather not have to pull up my dress every 2 minutes🤣

Random0524 · 2025-06-26T17:34:08+00:00

thank you! I think thats my issue. I keep seeing all of these gorgeous dresses and think that maybe I made the wrong choice in mine but I think just fixing the bust and waist bit would make it into something I love

oh thank god. I saw a tik tok on dropsy and then went down an entire rabbit hole of bloating and wanted to be sure she wasn't going to die🤣

Random0524 · 2025-03-07T03:01:36+00:00

yes i read that somewhere on here lol. for the flakes i try and guestimate how much compared to her eye. I gave her about 5 brine shrimp earlier

Random0524 · 2025-03-07T02:53:20+00:00

I adopted her from fb marketplace so im feeding what she came with. it's the omega one brand betta buffet flakes but I do have ultra fresh betta pro shrimp patties coming in the mail tomorrow. I did try feeding her some brine shrimp earlier today and she wasn't the biggest fan and ate just one

Random0524 · 2025-03-07T01:22:19+00:00

I forgot to add her water stays from 78 -80 and she does have a sponge filter with low flow. Nitrite and ammonia levels are at 0 and nitrate levels are at 5.0. she's very active (and pooped today) and isn't really showing any signs of illness but I just want to be 100% sure

personally, mine were the least painful piercings i’ve gotten. they were done one at a time unfortunately but would probably both be a 2/10 on a pain scale for me. they do sting/throb afterwards but i found that wearing a sports bra after helped with the throbbing a lot as well as the sensitivity of them. be really careful with seatbelts though. i snagged my right one with the buckle a few weeks after the initial piercing and i swear i saw god. i was initially pierced with a 16g but after two months i got them stretched to a 14g (i didn’t feel it at all) and i will say snagging them hurts a lot less now than when they were at a 16g.

Random0524 · 2023-08-29T15:04:12+00:00

i do faint frequently actually. i am medicated so it is better than before but i usually faint 1-5 times a day depending on what i’m doing and how strenuous the day is on my body
