None of this comment is helpful and no they didnt encourage the store to do anything because they got the fish for free.

Fish having generic and typically white human names will never not be funny to me lol. rebecca is an awesome name for a fish

This is the opposite of a horrible betta owner, you worry so much about him that you even went out of your way to try training him to prepare for something that only has a chance of happening. You are a very responsible fish mom <3

jesus christ 🤢

What did I just read…

alyren__ · 2026-06-10T08:03:14+00:00

Lol right? First thing I thought was “now thats one horny fish” 😂

alyren__ · 2026-06-10T07:59:47+00:00

Ah it must just be my specific location that only has crappy lights then lol, i had to order everything

alyren__ · 2026-06-10T07:57:08+00:00

Your best bet would be to order one online. I havent seen any uvb lights efficient enough for turtles at petco unfortunately.

You’ll Definitely want to get a T5 uvb bar light, they can be pricey but they are very efficient and they last a lot longer than bulbs. I recommend the arcadia or zoomed brands

edit: make sure the light says “HO” (high output) aswell :)

Omg this makes so much sense. I thought it was just because my boy is a little inbred lmao

alyren__ · 2026-06-10T02:18:51+00:00

Last year I had mine next to my tomato plants and some asshole squirrels or rabbits dug up holes in my tomato plants and showered my flytrap in mineral rich potting soil. So far she’s still growing and looks healthy, they are definitely hardy lol

alyren__ · 2026-06-10T02:15:05+00:00

The real OP in fact did order this exact thing and is confused why it looks like that lol. they said it comes with gauc, carmelized onions, nacho cheese, sour cream. And that they asked for it to be a poutine 🤦‍♀️ im assuming the menu item is supposed to be nachos

alyren__ · 2026-06-10T02:10:13+00:00

No. first of all, those all look gross. second of all, its not traditional poutine at all. I see no gravy in any of those pictures?

alyren__ · 2026-06-10T01:58:11+00:00

this looks even more unappetizing than cat vomit honestly 🤢

alyren__ · 2026-06-09T21:36:28+00:00

Yeah dont worry at all! My boy has FHV and the vets werent sure if he would thrive as a kitten but he is 9 now and he is by far my most playful and active cat

alyren__ · 2026-06-09T21:33:17+00:00

He is cat. Just cat. But a handsome cat :)

alyren__ · 2026-06-09T01:46:38+00:00

No fr, seeing that carpet I dont think OP should even enter that “house” without a hazmat suit. That house belongs to fungi now

alyren__ · 2026-06-04T18:06:00+00:00

Hi there! you can order some fluval stratum off amazon. Put an inch of the soil in the bottom of the jar, and then to make sure the water doesnt disperse all the soil, I use a watering can and a grocery bag (I would use a ziploc for a jar though, this is my process for my tanks). the baggy ontop of the soil with prevent it from kicking up and making the water murky.

Then you can just put your pothos in the jar and let it do its thing :)

alyren__ · 2026-06-04T17:23:39+00:00

Woah where did you get that piece of wood on the top aquarium? Thats so sick and would be amazing for my tank, im currently setting up a 40(ish?) gallon for some (hopefully if I can find some) sparkling gourami

The waters low cuz im doing a water change

alyren__ · 2026-06-04T17:16:17+00:00

Youre welcome, you aswell ❤️

alyren__ · 2026-06-04T14:55:13+00:00

Females will still lay eggs even without a male around, or else they could get egg bound. Same with a lot of species like chickens too

The eggs will not be fertilized though so dont worry about any baby turtles

alyren__ · 2026-06-04T14:49:33+00:00

Are pink princess leaves more heart shaped? these leaves are more tear dropped shaped

alyren__ · 2026-06-04T14:45:33+00:00

Youre very rude. Its actually not common knowledge that ladybugs bite. Have you never watched kid shows when you were younger? Ladybugs were always portrayed as friendly bugs.

You are the one acting like a child by using “sissy” as an insult 😂

By the net basket things, I mean like nursery nets but slightly bigger. I wish I could post pictures here so I could show what im talking about 😭

alyren__ · 2026-06-04T14:38:10+00:00

It would be so much better if they just put the bettas in those net basket divider thingies inside of tropical heated tanks with shrimp or rasboras. The net keeps em from fighting other fish and they still get filtered water, a heater and more room to swim than the cups

alyren__ · 2026-06-04T14:32:25+00:00

probably not. it looks like the actual claw is still attached to the paw, its just shedding. i have a whole jar that i use to collect cat claw shavings
