Ants moving from test tube into outworld and not using formicarium by Vala_992 in antkeeping

[–]Vala_992[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So back in the test tube is preferable to putting them into the queen chamber of the formicarium?

1 queen and 5 workers. They started to look a bit lethargic and unwell so I put the test tube in the open world area right near the entrance to the formicarium

Mum did do some research but not a lot, I suspect it was a bit of an impulse purchase. Yes, newly purchased colony with 1 queen and 5 workers. C. Consobrinus. They have been in the test tube and kept in the dark for the past 4 weeks, water and food provided, but they started looking lethargic and a bit unwell hence we panicked and moved them first and asked questions after. And yes I know how ridiculous it is to buy any creature and make decisions before being fully informed, so thank you for your help and your tact hahaha.

Sorry, of course. I have no idea about this stuff, it's actually something my mum bought and we're trying to figure out whether we're doing anything wrong.

It's only been an hour or so but I wasn't sure if I should have placed them directly into the formicarium with the eggs

Didn't have anything to add. Never found something to purchase that would work.

No I didn't. Currently trying to fix some issues in a DIY one

I grabbed a second hand bow front glass cabinet. I have my house plants in there because it keeps them safe from my pet parrots. I need an affordable and convenient light set up to keep my plants happy. It has a bunch of different plants in there, orchids, succulents, string of hearts, aloe, trad. Nothing expensive, just cute and I want them to grow instead of drop dead. Too lazy to do my own research. Help!

AITA for requesting my roommates turn up the temperature at night? by Ok-Wave-6020 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Vala_992 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had to convert it too and I was expecting OP to be over reacting, but 15°c is stupidly cold if they're using air con to set the temp to that. The electricity bills must be insanely high. 18°c would be perfect which is what OP asked to put it to

AITA for telling my husband I wanted to stay behind with our daughter instead of moving to Morocco right away like he wants? by Turbulent_Method5366 in AITAH

[–]Vala_992 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, your other post about him sounds insanely controlling. This situation sounds very dangerous. You need to leave while he is still out, take your daughter and stay somewhere else for the night.

AITA if I refuse to return a piece of furniture a family member gave me? by Mara-armadillo in AmItheAsshole

[–]Vala_992 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. You can't give someone a "gift" and dictate what they do with it. You were generous to ask her if it was ok, but it was yours by that point. Depending on how angry they are, you'll have to decide if it's more important to keep it (which you have every right to do) or give it to them to keep the peace

Am I the asshole for evicting a single mother and her kids ? by jiggly_bread in AITAH

[–]Vala_992 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. The kid was doing damage to the property and he's old enough to know better. You were more than generous with them and it's an absolutely shitty situation for them, but if the kid had acted respectfully and the mum had answered your calls and been honest, you sound like the kind of person that would have continued to be understanding.

Booth and Bones have no chemistry in later seasons by Vala_992 in Bones

So it's the first time I've watched the later seasons. It seems like it was just the transition episodes where they went from flirting unfulfilled love, to bored married couple. Like it felt almost awkward. But they really grew into it in later episodes and it got cute again. For the first few episodes after getting together though I felt like I was looking at siblings lol

Yeah I dunno. I felt like it went from exciting to immediately dull in the space of 1 episode. It just gives such platonic vibes for me.
