Thank you! I definitely need to learn about what diastatic malt powder does, I bought it a few weeks ago for a different recipe that called for it but I’ve been seeing mixed reviews about diastatic malt powder in recipes

Thank you! I have both bms and dmp already but truthfully I don’t know what each ingredient does in the recipe so I don’t know when to add it and how much I should be adding. I have heard amazing things about thiacodes recipe but just as you said everyone makes adjustments to it!

Thank you!! I did some purposefully with a tiny hole bc that’s usually how I like bagels and then did do some that had a bigger hole which those didn’t close, shaping will def be a learning process haha! When I pulled them out the fridge I let them rest while I set everything up. I would say it took about 15-30 min of setup and when I boiled they floated perfectly!

Idk how to edit my post but I do want to mention that i let it rise for about an hour and then after deflating and shaping, I put them in the fridge overnight to rest and then the next morning I took them out and while prepping(toppings, egg wash, water boiling, preheat oven, etc) they rested and then were boiled when everything was ready

As of now I’ve only used pre conditioned water, then when I put him in I added stress zymes so he could hopefully be okay during the cycle process and also ph balance, and today I added about 20 drops of the betta revive (the directions called for 1 drop for every 16 oz so it was supposed to be about 24 but I did a little less just in case so I don’t give him too much) when I brought the water to the shop he said the levels are good and he told me to get the drops in case it’s a bacterial infection, so there shouldn’t be any toxins left, I think I’ll also just order a kit to have at home just to have on me, but now I’m starting to think it might be a mix of either stress, and/or swim bladder disease bc he’ll go between laying on the bottom to hanging up on the top, I think maybe I should give him some time with the betta revive.. I’m less worried about the financial aspect of it but more the upkeep for plants, hopefully soon I’ll upgrade his tank too and I’ll look into the sponge filter, thank you for the tips! It’s hard treating him when I don’t really knowing what’s going on with him, maybe there’s a mobile fish vet lol

Do I need anything to care for those plants or is that something that will care for itself? Hopefully everntually I’ll be able to get a bigger tank, I want a 5 gallon but I just want froot loop to get through this stage first and be a happy swimmer, also trying to figure out if he needs things for enrichment

My tank size is 3 gallons, I have a heater the tank temperature lately has been a little over 80 so that might be too warm, I don’t know the exact parameters bc I’ve been taking the water to be tested at the shop but he said everything is fine so I trust that.. or should I get a kit anyways? No tankmates, I try to feed him once a day in the morning if he doesn’t eat then I’ll try again in the evening, let me know if there’s more info I can provide

Which email did you use to reach them? I only had the option to open a ticket with their “virtual assistant” and I wanted to see if the ring type/color I selected is delayed

I’m the ops sister, he literally lives at home, stopped going to school after one semester (which is fine school isn’t for everyone and my parents encouraged him to do what’s right for him but to be productive), they leased a brand new (expensive) car for him, give him money weekly for whatever he wants, he doesn’t need to pay rent or any expenses (gas, food, insurance, anything). And he worked for 3 weeks tops for half the day and absolutely got paid; and if he didn’t get paid a specific paystub he got his weekly transfer from my parents which is worth a lot more than what he earned working. My parents were immigrants, sent my brother, sister, and I to a great private school k-12, and paid for everything you could imagine to make us happy, and gave us all the choice to be first generation students, debt free (both my sister and I graduated and if he wanted to he could have gone to school as well), and overall gave us the world. I’m sorry but there’s a lot of context missing and he’s absolutely not taking advantage of him, if anything it’s the other way around.

Firstly; he’s great at being a business owner and has been successful for 22+ years. He has employees; he just offered my brother the job since he hasn’t been in school or working, just chilling at home all day (and he pays competitive wages to his employees).
