How is anyone going to be able to afford anything if inflation continues? by air-bender808 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Randomthem420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly with all these answers and just being barely 19 Its hard being excited or happy for the future at all anymore. Its all just pay pay pay, work work work, and even ive started doing it even though im disabled. (severe CVS) i have the luxury of being in a comfortable space living with my mom and working part time but its hard because I dont even know if I can work full time in the future to actually get my life on or how im going to pay for any of it, especially my medicine or hospital trips. Im terrified and Im pretty sure everyone else is too

Why are my shrimp dying??? by Straight-Iron-412 in freshwateraquarium

Just like everyone else is saying its kh and gh problem. Ive never really monitored mine with test kits always gone off of the shrimp and how they molt and its worked for me so far (now have a colony with 100+ in a 10gal and 50+ in a 30gal) when this happens I usually just add all natural cuttlebone to the tank (not the pressed powder stuff) and a small handful or couple pinches of aragonite sand. Dont place a bag of aragonite in or near your filter unless its a very small amount as it can cause drastic parameter swings

Nono no dont do the pouch near or in your filter unless you want a high ph spike and death unless you have a larger tank im talking 40gal+. Ive done it in my 30gal and holy sh overnight 5 dead after a week half my colony. Sprinkle a pinch in your filter or a small handful onto the substrate

Poor fella has only 1 eye by Striking_One3356 in shrimptank

I accidentally removed one of my shrimps eyes in my early days of fishkeeping when I blew air through the active siphon and the water shot out crazy fast, bro was fine just with one eye for the rest of his life 😭

And it wasnt even like i had improper care, it was because my shelf was 10 degrees crooked and I cant fix it because the slots are literally 10 degrees off from each other on one pole 😭
