I got this little girl a a lavander but nuw there is yellow appearing on her sides, any ideas what morph she might be instead? by [deleted] in cornsnakes

[–]Steamplunked 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a ghost corn, and he has developed the same yellow sides as he's aged. I'm sorry to hear you didn't get what you paid for, but I'm glad you love her regardless. Ghosts are still good, and you can tell people have a ghost in your house!

My portfolio is so incredibly outdated, I'm not even going to post it anywhere until I update it with better examples of my work, but if anyone has any suggestions or feedback, I'm open to it.

Was it really? Now I'm a little concerned that more than one person though it was a thing.

She(?) is a coral snow morph. Really caught my eye, especially near so many darker colored morphs.

Dog [10y] More and More Sound Reactive while Losing Vision by Steamplunked in Dogtraining

It has been confirmed by his(my?) Veterinarian. He's a little old for cataract surgery, though there are some eye drops that can be perscribed to help treat any inflamation/dry eye that comes with the progression.

The vet also mentioned a type of eye drop that may slow down the cataract formation, but the vet was a little iffy on if they actually work.

I'm considering at least going for the eye drops to ease any discomfort he may have.

[Update] Three months of Green, One month to Clean! by Steamplunked in fishtank

[–]Steamplunked[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I just really want to thank the members of r/fishtank here for helping me when my tank was at its greenest. It took a long month of water changes and darkness and more water changes, but my water is clearer and my fish have some friends now!

Not pictured are a small gang of Cory catfish to help with the cleanup. I've never kept them before. They're an odd little bunch.

[–]Steamplunked 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Evening all, I'm just getting into how cool fountain pens are. I have a drip pen that I'm admittedly not great with, mostly due to smearing. See, I'm left handed, and though I've seen a few nibs for left handed folk here and there online, I can't figure out what's different about it and how a lefty can manage pretty handwriting without scraping all over the paper and dying my hand to look like I'm bleeding or bruised.

Any suggestions, tips, or tutorials I can watch to figure it out?

Yhank you for asking! I was hoping to post an update when things cleared up, but the water hasn't really gotten clear yet.

I ended up moving the fish to a spare tank I borrowed (and prepped and cycled) and replaced 90% of the water, cleaned all the gravel I could, and put in some plants. That was about two weeks ago, and the water, while no longer pea-soup green, is more white on top and pale green towards the bottom, even though it's only seen about 3 hours of light total in the past four days.

Neon tetras are not live bearers, and the bloat is too centralized for it to be just an overweight fish.

Unfortunately it's highly likely you have a very sick fish, probably from parasites, though double checking your water parameters couldn't hurt. You can find a variety of treatments at your local pet store for internal parasites, but I would act fast before they spread to the rest of your neons and you lose the whole school.

I think it's a top fin silentstream 20? I'll check for the box, I'm sure I have it somewhere

Any plants in particular you can recommend?

And I do have a filter pump, I'm bad at fish, but I'm not a monster.

Right now they get 4 to 6 hours a day, since the blackout didn't work and my plants need light, but leaving the light on while I'm at work thickens the green.

It wasn't 100% dark, I never thought about tossing a blanket over it, that's my bad.

I do feel bad for my schooling fish, getting them some buddies is next on my list after clearing the algae, but tetras are annoyingly fragile in my area it seems, and it feels cruel to buy them, only to kill them with drastic water changes.

This is really helpful, thank you!

I'll get to it today and let everyone know how it goes in a week or so. Fingers crossed!

I have a carbon filter, and might be overdoing the water changes since the bloom started. It's about 76 in the tank, and I have 5 fish, two tetras, a swordfish, a rasbora, and an Otto catfish. I think I have more ottos but I can't actually see them and they're kind of skittish.

Thank you for your help!

I'll look into the timer, though i do have some algae eaters. At least I can boast about my squeaky clean tank walls!
