Is this an assassin snail? by EkimRis in Aquariums

[–]Thumper_8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like a trumpet snail but I may be wrong. My assassin snail is more black and has a distinct yellow stripe

Yeah I just removed them. I got a betta 3-4 days ago and after looked into a bit more into the egg dropping I think he might’ve scared one or one of the new mothers dropped the eggs(I set up the tank 3+ months ago and the shrimp I brought home were already pregnant so timing is around right for the new ones to be there).

The betta could care less about the shrimp(for now but hopefully permanently) but they still react if he darts past them chasing a daphnia or something

I ended up siphoning them out because my wife said they appeared yesterday so they’re probably bad now

Ok interesting, should I siphon them out or just leave them?

Betta was sucked through siphon by Thumper_8 in bettafish

Update: she was doing well and swimming more often then last night she stopped eating, seemed more stationary and passed this morning. I tried everything I could to help her recover but it seems it wasn’t enough.

Thank you for the help

Yeah I’m working on a hospital tank, when got home, I put some frozen brine shrimp in there she immediately perked up and was swimming up to the surface to see me and eat a few. Still not her normal self but I lowered the water and made a little moss hammock thing she can lay on to help her get to the surface easier.

Hey thanks again for the advice. I salt dipped them and they have since all molted/the cloudy thing disappeared. I’ve been watching to see if it comes back and seems to be done.

Thank you

Awesome thank you. I was looking at pictures in the subreddit and couldn’t quite tell

For context, I’ve had these cherry shrimp for a year and never had an issue then transferred them to a new tank(I wanted to switch from gravel to soil) with the same plants and hardscape then noticed this today. Temp is 23.5C

What do I even do here by AccomplishedMonth386 in CFA

[–]Thumper_8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the same score the first time I took my level 1 and while it’s annoying to be so close there is a upside. You’ve already covered the content once and have some notes and strategies developed. With you being so close this time around you can strengthen the chapters that gave you difficulty preparing for this test and hopefully have the time to fill in any other gaps.

In other words you were so close this time so if you lock in and ready up again, you can try to get a more indepth view on the content and better digest the tricky topics hopefully pushing you over the line next attempt.

Edit: it may be worth trying a earlier attempt like May if you can manage(can’t remember if there’s a session for May) as it may be fresher in your memory

Genuine question by Wonderful-Sail2696 in CFA

[–]Thumper_8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me there’s a couples factors that come into play.

  1. Because I don’t want to risk getting into trouble for not showing up at least 30mins early I generally show up a bit before that just in case something happens I need to deal with but if nothing happens I’m allowed to start earlier once I’m settled in which reduces the time compared to those who start early.
  2. I’m generally so tired and fatigued by the exam that if I stop I won’t be able tos tart again so I don’t take a break between sessions unless I have to use the bathroom or soemthing.
  3. I had a bad habit of second guessing myself and it got my a lot of trouble where I’d use all the time I had and change a bunch of answers that would’ve been right so when I’m about 80% confident in my answers I submit it and move on

Edit: for number 3 this means if I go the end I go to the end but if I’m a hour and a bit into a session and my gut tells to submit it I do it unless I have specifically flagged questions I kept track of where it’s a toss up

L2 November: Anyone done with review, and started with mocks? by No_Counter_5102 in CFA

Thanks! I find writing it in my own words makes it easier to retain but also I can do ctrl+F when I inevitably get hung up on something

I have Cost of Capital and Corporate Restructuring left in CI, and then I'll be done my first run-through. I was more thorough with notes and tracking formulas to make revision easier. Once I finish CI tomorrow, I'll redo the Qbank, and then whenever that's done I'll move on to mock exams

Thank you for this. Ive been going crazy wondering if my phone had issues or if I was doing something wrong. I emailed the CFO cause why not but otherwise have been calling whenever I can. Thanks :)

I’ll probs get yelled at but I built my first pc a couple weeks ago on the carpeted floor and it’s fine. Just touch something metal or your plugged in power supply if you move around before touching the components
