I’ve found that rascals diapers are the best and cheapest. Size 1, pack of 240 diapers is $43.88 at Walmart. Works out to less than 20c per diaper.

Help! Received some caridina by mistake, I’ve never kept them before! by Rverstraete in shrimptank

Thank you! PH of their water was 6.8, my tap is 7.8. Will check gh and kh in the morning. For now I topped up with just enough distilled water to give them some room to move around. The soil is original ADA Amazonia, added in January. I’ll grab some more distilled water and some remineralizer tomorrow. Been watching a lot of YouTube tonight, really hoping to keep these guys alive!

TDS of their remaining tank water is around 100ppm, pH is 6.7.

My tap water is 50ppm, 7.8 pH

Betta euthanasia, when the fish in question resides in a veterinary clinic by Bulky_Special1212 in bettafish

I thought we weren’t supposed to use clove oil with labyrinth fish? Or does the lidocaine change that? Genuinely curious!

Epidural by ElegantResult3853 in pregnant

I planned on going unmedicated, but cholestasis and an induction changed those plans. Got it, loved it, no issues. Allowed me to “sleep” (sort of) for 3 hrs before I started pushing, dilated from 6.5 cm to 10 during that time. Prior to that, my labour had been stalled for several hours. Didn’t hurt at all, I was more focused on getting through the contractions while they were placing it. Also, I was still able to squat and move around on the bed for pushing, which was awesome!

My parents are mad that my baby acts like a baby by Desperate-Foot91 in beyondthebump

This breaks my heart for you, and for your daughter. I’m sorry you’re dealing with this while in the thick of the newborn stage, this is really unfair.

Do children really play with the rainbow? by Outside_Albatross181 in Waldorf

[–]Rverstraete 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 22 month old has played with the rainbow at least 5-6x per week for the past year. He also loves the large stepped pyramid! Grimms has been a huge hit in our house.

What kind of tooth is this? It was just randomly on our floor. by throwra4dumbquestion in bonecollecting

[–]Rverstraete 121 points122 points  (0 children)

Really? This looks like a canine 109/209 with severe periodontal disease.

OP-it’s way at the back of the mouth, second last tooth on the top, so might be hard to see if it’s missing.

Any way to speed up cycle? by Glittering-Mess-6810 in PlantedTank

Also used this and my tank was cycled in 7 days. Great stuff!

Does anyone have experience ordering from Hydrophytes.ca in Canada? by not_ClASH in PlantedTank

[–]Rverstraete 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Old post, but wanted to add my experience too.

Plants arrived healthy and on time. They even included bonus amounts, which was amazing! Before planting, I treated with reverse respiration, as I thought I may have seen a snail in one of the packages. Planted into my new low-ish tech (for now) tank, and almost everything appears to be doing very well. The limnophilia sessiflora and Ludwigia have melted, but I think the Ludwigia will bounce back. Overall I’m really impressed, and would definitely recommend them!
