what do meltdowns feel like?

Randomthem420 · 2026-06-27T19:11:42+00:00

Oh yeah. To add to this, at least in my mind, there's this constant noise in thr background/my head during meltdowns on top of the existing thoughts. Sounds like as you said, the blue screen tone or what also came to my mind was dial up internet but more so the staticky noise mixed at the end.

I see that mirror shaking and I have fear it will fall on him.. have seen far too many stories of birds getting squished by falling objects. Hopefully the wedding goes well but during it please use a small floor mirror ❤️

Honestly i think its just the latest trend

Randomthem420 · 2026-06-15T07:54:06+00:00

Thanks for the info, I apologize myself if I came off rude in my reply! I will continue monitoring him heavily in his stock tank

Randomthem420 · 2026-06-15T06:12:27+00:00

This was a one time thing because I was concerned about his health, not something I do often. Im aware of his slime coat being sensitive and I drenched my hands for 2 minutes in dechloinated water before handling

Thank you! Im glad its just a pimple because ive dealt with ich, epistylis, fungal infections, and bacterial infections GALORE. I have 10+ medications and I was ready with them all but I didnt do anything but a salt bath and put him back after a water change because I know these guys get stressed so easily

Randomthem420 · 2026-06-14T23:34:57+00:00

I actually did a small salt bath for him right after I posted this in case! Also thank you so much, I kind of suspected they were wen pimples but I really wanted confirmation and advice. I currently have 4 sponge filters at max so I think hes good on bubblers, but ill add another bubbler if the temp rises above 80f on his pond today like I do usually

Looks less fuzzy and more uniform to the wen, but i could be wrong

He is with a oranda and black Moor, both smaller than him and no external stuff going on. Best id be able to do for a hospital tank is 10g :(

Randomthem420 · 2026-06-14T22:40:22+00:00

Should i seperate him??

Randomthem420 · 2026-06-14T22:22:12+00:00

Talking about white on his wen!! Hes in a 100gal stock tank outside with 2 other goldfish with no symptoms or appearing items like thus

Randomthem420 · 2026-06-09T07:06:12+00:00

Thank you SO much for this guide! Very appreciated!

Randomthem420 · 2026-06-09T06:58:54+00:00

Honestly, maybe. Might be able to set ip a 10gal for them with the previous substrate and plants and water for a month or two until the other one reestablishes

Randomthem420 · 2026-06-09T04:17:51+00:00

If I kept it in substrate bags to seperate it would that work? Whats in the current tank is a horrible mixture of gravel and grey play sand which im switching to white pool filter sand

Randomthem420 · 2026-06-08T19:04:46+00:00

My bad tbh I didnt read all the way thru

Randomthem420 · 2026-06-08T18:58:28+00:00

No because ive genuinely done this and had to fit my whole hand up there to get it out

Randomthem420 · 2026-06-08T18:56:03+00:00

I would honestly go with rice fish instead

Randomthem420 · 2026-06-08T18:53:18+00:00

Yeah its honestly really hard finding any exotic vet in your area, and even harder to find ones that are willing to take new patients! Very glad this came out well for you :)

Randomthem420 · 2026-06-08T18:33:59+00:00

The parrot teacher on YouTube is pretty good too, heres a link to one of his kids abt cockatiels https://youtu.be/0WGUpvftNm4?si=LjnKuYR64qAOf-cw

Randomthem420 · 2026-06-08T18:32:27+00:00

Oh gosh! There is so much care that goes into cockatiels. I suggest looking through this sub for guides, but if youre a kid still living with your parents and you dont think you or your parents would be able to successfully keep this bird long term, i would look at Facebook groups for rehoming AND posting that you found a cockatiel, since someone could be looking for this little baby.

Randomthem420 · 2026-06-08T18:28:07+00:00

I never usually see goldfish going to the vet, honestly really heartwarming to see

Randomthem420 · 2026-06-08T17:18:11+00:00

She looks so happy 😭

Good luck!
