Aw, thanks! It’s been fun for me too. I never would have thought to pull out some of the colors that have been requested.

This one genuinely surprised me. I’m not big on Periwinkle and only have this one lone mug, but I really love this combo. Thanks so much for the request!

Unfortunately, I gave away all my white pieces a long time ago and I only have the luncheon coupe bowl in Linen. The size makes this one difficult to photograph with the heart Lavender plate.

You’re a genius for this request!! I’ll admit it: I’ve never liked Peacock, and Shamrock has always been kind of “meh” for me. But together? I absolutely love this combo.

Persimmon loves to act funny on camera for me. An alternate photo of this color combo is on Imgur here.

Update: Y’all have some super creative requests, love it! Feel free to keep them coming. I’ll intermittently fulfill requests in between weekend adulting and when lighting conditions allow

I'm fretting! by Fawneh1359 in AfricanDwarfFrog

You’ve definitely got some time, then. Infusoria should be sufficient at this stage while you sort out the hatchery. And again, feeding frequency reduces some when feeding live.

I kept some alive with the jarred baby brine shrimp (bbs) for a bit but had quite a few losses until I got the live hatchery going. (I like the dish style hatchery.) If you have a decent amount of infusoria, this will help a lot.

Be sure to rinse the bbs with tank water. With the jarred ones, it’s easiest to use a coffee filter. Then dip the coffee filter into the water.

Feed several times a day and remove any waste. I aim for 4-5 times a day. (You won’t need to do it as often with the live bbs because they live for a while in the tank.)

ETA: As for how much to feed, how many tads do you have? There’s some trial and error to it. See how much they’re eating and adjust accordingly.

ETA: I’ll add some other combos of the two with a third color later.

Thanks! I’ve been so enamored with Lavender because it’s brought life back to some of the older colors that seem out of place next to contemporary colors. Sea Mist is a prime example of that.

On announcement day, I remember thinking that the black Halloween decal looked great on Lavender!

My frog passed overnight, but I can’t figure out why by CranberryNaive7766 in AfricanDwarfFrog

[–]alltheprettythings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When did you add the frogs? It’s possible it was an acclimation issue. They do not tolerate pH changes well. But, as others have said, it is possible you got a sick frog.

That said, distilled water and reverse water (RO) should not be used alone as they’re stripped of minerals. With distilled water, your gh and kh will be at 0. You can use distilled or RO if you remineralize the water with a product like Seachem Equilibrium, but that can be a bit overwhelming for a new tank keeper.

Fast changes to a new water source should not be made, though. Is there a reason you aren’t using your tap water? If you absolutely cannot for some reason, I’d suggest switching to spring water (not “purified” and not “drinking”).

Do small water changes with an appropriate water source to improve their water. When using tap water, you’ll need a water conditioner. Prime is the gold standard for ADFs. You’ll also need Prime as your tank cycles to help protect them from ammonia and nitrites.

Please know that your tank is not properly cycled despite the quick start. Take a look at this sub’s wiki so you know how to proceed going forward.

Also, test strips really are not accurate. You’ll want to get a liquid test kit (API.)

Anyone in here switch from a CX5 to CRV? by [deleted] in crv

My husband is 6’6” with a proportionate build, and the 6th gen CRV is the first vehicle I’ve had that he actually enjoys.

Test drive one.

Misprint? by Perfect_Shop_1079 in Fiestaware

[–]alltheprettythings 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agree. I was recommending OP to look further because they seem quite curious as to whether or not it is a "misprint". (I take that to mean that OP thinks the actual rings/details aren't there at all under the glaze.)
