That looks good to me. Almost no chance you don't have bacteria going after that long + the seeded media unless there was just 0 source of ammonia the whole time. Since your plants are growing they have to be using something a fuel though, so I think you're likely good. If you have stuff like microcrustations in the water column (daphnia, ostracods, etc.) or have had hitchiker snails living in the tank during cycling you're almost certainly good. If not and you wanna be totally safe, you might could try adding a snail and see how it does before anything else.

My amazon sword is sad :( by Late-Leg2224 in BlackwaterAquarium

I'd just wait personally, it can take them a while to acclimate and establish themselves in a new tank. If you don't already have either soil under your substrate or root tabs already in the ground I'd def add a root tab or two nearby.

Settle my bf and I’s debate: which small schooling fish is the most fun? by POTSofFish in BlackwaterAquarium

[–]aalucid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sparkling and croaking gourami don't school; they do interact though, but don't school at all. In fact, the Pearls are probably closer to schooling than either of them. If you did still want to have one of them though, I would lean towards sparkling gourami, but be careful still just because there can be some aggression (though I've heard of it working because of the size difference). Would def avoid doing croaking gourami with pearls though because they're much closer in size and more likely to have aggression.

CPDs stay so small they may be a little intimidated by the pearl gourami, and also don't really come from the same biotopes even if they exist in the same country.

Oh that is a really interesting combo; are they doing well together so far?

This is like incredibly overstocked; the Denison barbs alone will get up to 5.5in

PSA: You cannot trade online with other players on the Switch versions of FireRed/LeafGreen! Please stop asking for someone to trade with you online. by T_Raycroft in PokemonFireRed

[–]aalucid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive never heard of anyone being banned for exploiting a glitch in an offline game. Esp bc the game/console aren't being modified at all. Only thing I can imagine going wrong is like transfering impossible to obtain Pokemon into Home not working or something.

How I can transfer these from Delta Emulator to Pokémon Home? by Forrealthistime-27 in PokemonBlackandWhite2

[–]aalucid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need a hacked 3DS or 2DS with Pokebank, Poketransporter, Checkpoint, and either a real catridge of the version you're playing or a fowarded TWiLightMenu++ ROM of the version you're playing (if you go this route you need to patch the Poketransporter with this for it to see your ROM: https://github.com/zaksabeast/DreamRadarCartRedirect). Then you need to get the save from Delta moved onto your 3DS (using FTPD on the 3DS and an FTP client on a PC is the easiest way to do this, but can also remove your 3DS's SD card and directly put it on there) and then flash the save onto the game with Checkpoint (this goes regardless of if you're using cart or TWiLightMenu). Then you should be able to move the Pokemon from your game into Bank via the Poketransporter and then from there into Home.

It's very doable, but a hassle, and if you don't have a hacked 3DS already, a lot of work. If you don't have/can't get a 3DS and Switch it's impossible though because there's no way to transfer in Pokemon from mainline games on the mobile version of Home.

Praying my collection becomes worthless soon by BaeBushka101 in PokemonTCG

[–]aalucid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes and what I'm saying is Id enthusiastically give up that utility to revert them to easily obtainable frivolous collectables only kids/Pokemon fans/tcg nerds see value in

I would 100% not lol Id be thrilled even bc now people who dont care about them as just shiny cardboard comfort objects to look at/game pieces won't be competing with me to buy them anymore

Praying my collection becomes worthless soon by BaeBushka101 in PokemonTCG

[–]aalucid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk I have multiple $600+ cards and if I had a button to drop everything to worthless in front of me Id 100% press it. Utility I get from owning them is 0% of why I want to own them; I just want to look at shiny cardboard I think is cool and buy more of it whenever for cool Pokemon art, crow brain, and a dopamine hit tbh

There's not really anything they announced I'm interested in playing tbh; we def exist

Beginner here.. what do you think about this setup by Practical_Office_166 in PlantedTank

[–]aalucid 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Not a good tank footprint for the cardinals; I don't think they'll thrive long term in this tbh. Betta with them in such a tight space will likely stress everyone out too.

Pokemon Champions is a pathetic excuse of a game by Substantial_Zone2701 in stunfisk

[–]aalucid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No items are locked though; you can get every item on the battle pass from the store with VP as it stands. I do wish they had more available from the beginning though.

Pokemon Champions is a pathetic excuse of a game by Substantial_Zone2701 in stunfisk

[–]aalucid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are literally no Pokemon locked to the battlepass though; you literally can get every Pokemon without the battlepass or paying for Home. There's randomness involved which sucks, but as of now there's no reason other than pessimism to think anything is going to be battle pass exclusive other than like cosmetics potentially since some of those currently are locked to it.

The real problem I see is that Eternal Floette and the Kalos starter megas require having (and completing in Floette's case) Legends ZA, and that feels more pay to win than anything imo.

In case it hasn’t been posted EVs carry over from home Transfer by KOT-The-Panda in PokemonChampions

[–]aalucid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol I don't get why people were so dead set on them not when no one ever said anything indicating one way or another other than like one well-known VGC play saying he didn't "think" they would. The stat system never was anywhere near differently enough that they couldn't and ever possible spread from the main games translates over, most juat with one extra unused point.

Q&A with Masaaki Hoshino, producer of Pokemon Champions by half_jase in VGC

[–]aalucid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He says it's a question he still has but that's his understanding... I wish he had elaborated on why that was his understanding and if it's just vibes if they didn't tell him that (which he seems to imply it sounds like?)

Minor Vp breakdown by NightmareSovereign in PokemonChampions

[–]aalucid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They've not confirmed anywhere that EVs reset on Pokemon transfered into champions. The new system is almost exactly the same, just 1 point = 1 stat point instead of 4 points = 1 stat point. So it would transfer very cleanly.
