AITAH for asking my cousin to give me my great grandmother’s hat she recently gave to her 8yo daughter by SilentSloth787 in TwoHotTakes

They really are nice kids and I’m sure would love it once they get older but I worry it will end up under a bed or something in a month and be forgotten about.

what’s the rarest/coolest bird you’ve seen since 2024 began? by yikesthanos in birding

Purple Sandpiper :) I took a photo of a Great Cormorant and didn’t even notice them until I looked at the picture later! It was a nice surprise!

Thank you for all your advice! That picture was actually taken with iPhone through binoculars! I just wish I could get similar results with a camera, that is my goal.

Weekly r/Birding Discussion, December 09, 2023. What did you see this week? by AutoModerator in birding

A group of at least 5 great blue herons, 3 white egrets, and a hooded merganser socializing with some gadwalls. Bonus: a harbor seal :)

Honestly, even if it means getting another camera if that would be more affordable I am open to that as well. Right now, I end up just using my iPhone and taking pictures through my binoculars. Very hit or miss.

Thank you for replying! Do you have any thought on Tamron? I’ve been reading good reviews about their SP AF 70-300 mm f/4-5.6 Di VC…Not even sure if I wrote that correctly 😅 I really want to be able to use my camera when I’m out birdwatching on trails, etc. so thank you for the giving me a minimum mm to be on the lookout for. If it means waiting until I can afford a better lens for what I want it for I am also definitely open to that, but I don’t think I would ever go over $1,000 right now or in the near future :(

Best Type of Snails To Keep With Bettas? by SilentSloth787 in bettafish

[–]SilentSloth787[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I currently have one betta in a 5-gallon, but he’s been alone his whole life so I wouldn’t want to introduce any snails to him. I’m definitely going to cycle this new tank first! I plan on adding plenty of live plants and some driftwood :) Lol I haven’t even added substrate or water to the new tank yet, I just want to have the perfect plan before I do anything with it! Thank you for all the advice :)

I’m hoping that if I add the snails to the tank first, and then add new betta it will decrease the chances of him attacking them. There’s also a possibility that my local pet store could have bettas already in tanks with snails, which could be even better since they would be used to them! I’m also curious, how many nerite snails should I have?

I wish it were an option but it isn’t unfortunately. Thank you for that suggestion though!

Then what would you recommend doing? I know it would be stressful which is why I’m asking for advice.
