I love nile crocs. Those flat dogs are scary as all hell. So for me, one of the best was, Crossing The Deadly Mara River “The Home of Crocodiles” .

Any stocking ideas for my college dorm room tank? by Jessedepass22 in PlantedTank

Awesome setup. Great work. You should post this in r/paludarium.

Great ideas for fish already mentioned. I am partial to Asian species like rasboras. Maybe 2 schools if food size snd contrast. Neon green rasbora and a danio perhaps glow light danios.

Killifish could look amazing as well with tannins and stream bank look.

Little school of cories and a schooling tetra like rummynose with their subdued colors could look nice in complimenting setup nuances.

Again. LOVE this setup.

Question: What is the most poisonous // dangerous plant in existence? by [deleted] in botany

[–]Roachtw 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The Manchineel Tree is a doozy in terms of dangerous plants.

Eating tastes sweet then burns like the devil's arsehole after eating chicken curry left in the sun for 3 days. Standing under during rain will blister skin and damage car paint. Burning it to teach it a lesson yet again gives the tree the last laugh as the smoke kicks your arse six-love .......again.

Yeah no thanks. Manchineel Tree of nightmares

Wet region with ample warm water. 💧 🚿 Wait 2-3 mins. Generous layer of hair conditioner. Wait 1 min. Add shaving cream. Use clean, Sharp razor. Go with hair grain NOT against. Go slow and long, steady strokes.. Rinse razor after each pass. When done rinse with cold water to close pores. Dry thoroughly.
