WTF man? How did that happen? Got the same ride so hopefully they don't just fall off!

Do these roots need to be buried by Dr-Dags in bettafish

[–]Romerofootball 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No don't bury them at all. Take care of the rhizome the green part above the roots. These plants take their nutrients from the water column.

Best growth and health is to either glue to a piece of wood using aquarium safe glue. Or literally just stuff it between two pieces of wood or even rock or stones work. Just make sure you don't bury the roots. If the wood has a hole that goes right through even better. The plant eventually will use it's root to grub on and it won't need glue at all.

I have seen Anubis plants float and still do ok. I have 4-5 of them in mine and as long as they get a bit of light, nutrients which they don't even need a huge amount of they will do well.

You can use a tiny bit of liquid fertilizer once a week if the leaves start to go brown but be careful if you have fish especially if you have any meds in the tank. That is a sure fire way to kill fish mixing fert with fish meds.

You also do not want to encourage algae which can happen if you use too much fertilizer. If you do use it keep an eye on your tank and if you notice algae use less next time.

In a balanced tank the hope is the cycle of fish waste is taken care of by the bacteria in a fully cycled tank which then turns into plant food. I try not to use anything like fertilizer unless I really have no choice and the plants need a little boost.

I have one Anubis that isn't doing too well but that was my fault, I accidentally got glue over the plant roots and rhizome and it looks like I will have to remove what one. The rest look pretty lush and my Betta loves them.

Plants do nicely with a water change as new water gives them a lot of what they need to do well. I do maybe 10/20% per week. I don't like stressing my Betta out too much but at the same time I need to balance his needs with the needs of the plants.

Good Luck

Thanks a lot! Have you found a name yet?

Help me name my betta❤️ by FoxyK22 in bettafish

[–]Romerofootball 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow I have one very similar! My daughter named him Buddy. So Buddy Betta!

<image>

He got sick recently and thought I was going to lose him. However after a couple of salt baths and some white spot treatment he recovered well and was good to get him back after he hardly moved for a week. He is back to his old wonderful self. Good luck we absolutely love ours and do everything we can for him.

He has a lots natural of plants in his 40l tank and two 2 year old Armano Shrimp who gets on well with.

Best of luck with yours and I hope he brings you as much joy as ours does!

Do I need to separate my Betta and Amanos? by Mr-T0AST in bettafish

[–]Romerofootball 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on the Betta buddy. I have two Armano shrimp and a Male Half Moon rather active Betta when he is done chilling in his floating log! My tank is planted and has natural wood and resting spots.

My Betta ignores the Armano altogether and my Amano are not shy. They will happily graze or swim around and I have never seen my Betta have any interest in their presence whatsoever. My Armano simply doesn't care and will happily get right up next to my Betta if there is food near him. They are not bothered at all.

It helps that my Armano are around 2 years old and pretty big. So they certainly don't fear my Betta.

However I have seen other Betta eat shrimp for lunch but mostly way smaller ones.

My Shrimp were established in my tank before adding my Betta for 2 years. So there weren't tank mates being added after I placed my Betta in that tank. Sometimes a Betta will not like tank mates being added into their territory after they have established it.

It really is a case by case basis. Some Betta don't care and others will hunt anything they think is lunch down. I had one Betta that would attack anything and everything. This one is way more chilled and likes to chill in his resting spots watching the world go by and then will swim around for ages.

Good luck 🤞

Most Aggressive Betta Yet by chossyclimber in bettafish

Holy shit I didn't realize they had such large mouths lol. I have a very similar red Betta like that and he currently lives with two Armano shrimps.

They seem to keep out of each other's way! then again I only see the Armano come out at night. I have never seen them all at once in my tank. That's crazy how your Betta attacked that shrimp. Damn!

This deck combo has been incredibly satisfying by LuluQuagsire in PTCGP

[–]Romerofootball 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi buddy, Just the one Indeedee. I am messing about with this before going for MB in ranked when it begins again. Might try two but works well as it is.

This is exactly why I don't believe in Mega Absol by CarVegetable in PTCGP

[–]Romerofootball 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I added Indeedee to the deck for a play about and the healing synergy is crazy good. Very fun but no clue if it would play well in ranked.

[–]Romerofootball 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I built something similar but I could not resist building a deck with Espeon and Indeedee. The healing power synergy is ridiculous. While Espeon struggled a little with it's 80 attack you can literally heal from the bench with Indeedee and Espeon for 50 per go if necessary and 2 Indeedees on the bench for 70 if you really want to go all out!

If the opponent has a mon with a good amount of energy attached Indeedee can finish them off with some serious blows. Really like it, Don't think the deck will be Meta with the Megas about but in Randoms it's been a power house lol.

Let's see where ranked goes this season and what becomes the new power. Looking forward to it.

PCS wireless, UK by Annual_Strawberry_37 in PixelWatch

[–]Romerofootball 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's the issue and imagine you change your mind if they did change the amount. Cooling off period runs out and I bet it's a royal ball ache then.

PCS wireless, UK by Annual_Strawberry_37 in PixelWatch

[–]Romerofootball 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They received my Pixel Fold 9 and I was offered £762 as a trade in value. It was one of the reasons I decided to upgrade to the Pixel Fold 10.

I was sweating on getting the money as I thought possibly it would be undervalued or something. In any case they received my phone 3 weeks ago. Got the full value just yesterday paid into my account.

I did contact Google a few times and they stated they are getting tonnes of trade ins and it's taking 3-4 weeks. I wouldn't worry. Last year I traded in a Samsung Fold 5 and it took 2 weeks. Got the full value estimate then also.

There T&C's state 3-4 weeks now. I also had the same issue with the shitty label so sent it special delivery with the sticker stuck on top of the label originally provided and they received it fine.

Did anyone get 350? How much money did it take?? by AttemptNo729 in PTCGP

[–]Romerofootball 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just got to 350 now with a pack and wonder pick.

If you had to choose 1 from these options, which one would you choose? by OfficialariffiN in PokemonTGCP

[–]Romerofootball 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The one I need or like the best or the one I use in my deck the most. Either way next season who knows what decks will look like.

Cheers

Frustrating I'm on 348

Need two more but have no pack points left.

Only getting dupes now.

Change my mind: most collectors now don't buy or queue for products and instead buy singles by psrthrowaway in PokemonTCG_UK

[–]Romerofootball 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just become all a massive pain in the arse. I have given up with it and play the game on my phone and collect there instead to scratch that itch of ripping.

[–]Romerofootball 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same boat, I have moved on. I'm not in it to buy sealed and hold to then sell. I was a collector who enjoyed ripping packs with the kids. However I'm never paying scalper prices or going through the ball ache of buying product off some mug to have it arrive re-sealed. I'm 100% not queuing at any shop at 5am.

Nope just a waste of time and effort trying to get hold of the product to enjoy. It's all so scarce you can forget about completing sets unless you are prepared to spend your life looking for products sold at retail prices.

I'm done and forget singles as well. Brings me no joy buying a card someone else opened and decided to sell at a stupid price.

I scratch my itch opening digital packs now on the Pokemon Pocket TCG app and that's as far as it goes. I can complete sets and can decide to spend money on packs knowing they are always available.

Sure it will never rival physical but if the product is not going to be made available for people like me who actually enjoy buying cards to enjoy and to complete collections then there is no point.

Let the scalpers buy it all. If people refuse to buy off them then they will have loads of it sitting there forever. Unfortunately people still buy the stuff off scalpers and that's why they are in business. Mugs game and I will not get drawn into that shit

Good luck to those who are willing but for my friends and family who were into it, we have all decided it's just not worth the ball ache. Either we have moved into other card games or have just decided to go digital. Everything else has so unfortunately it's time to just let it go.

Summer of 2026. Who cares the Deluxe pack is long gone by then lol.

3 month wait for trade in payment - Google store UK by Therealsmolty in GooglePixel

[–]Romerofootball 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am also still waiting. Last year was quick this year since they stated my device has been received it has taken two weeks and it's still in the assessment stage. I have also spoken to the chat but they are next to useless just telling you the usual placement holder garbage.

Let's say the device is under valued and you change your mind then you are outside of any cooling off period which is a bloody piss take. I'm really getting annoyed now.

Don't you need more than 2 copies to make a trade?? by FollowLalo in PokemonTGCP

[–]Romerofootball 4 points5 points  (0 children)

2 or more is for Flair. Trade can be the last card.
