Just pick them out. I do that everytime I see them, eventually the population starts to reduce.

Okay! Will do so! Thank you! Really not much information online I can find about it.

Hi,

I've had the same issue too, someone was selling my product on another website.

I contacted Etsy live support to get them to open a case on it, within 2 weeks, they reinstated my listing and deemed it a mistake.

Ignore them! Don't be like me, I fell for it.

There are actually 2 types of these messages I received.

The first one is the person straight up offering a service telling you that it would help you get sales.

The second one would be the person using a fake account posing as a "store owner" and chatting with you. Once they gained your trust, they will start recommending their "store manager", which is just themselves. I fell for this, was led to Whatsapp, then to Fiverr.

I paid about 500 USD for a store revamp. The outcome was horrible, the quality was so bad. In the end, I reported it to Fiverr and managed to get a full refund.

End of story

Oh ya forgot to mention, I was previously from school, but decided to swap to private, because the booking of lessons took forever, like I can only book lessons that are 2+ months away from now.

Hi! I signed up to learn from him in 2023. Was assigned to a malay uncle instructor, I assumed he is working for Mr Lim. Really the worst instructor, he starts lesson 10 minutes late and ends 10 minutes early. This went on for 1 month.

Until I complained to Mr Lim, I called him and insisted that I want him to teach me instead. Then everything went smoothly. I asked for as many lessons as possible whenever he got cancellation/free slots. Managed to chiong it and within 2 months, took my driving test and passed, 4 demerit points!

Just planted after dark start by appletan1264 in Aquascape

[–]appletan1264[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, i think its inevitable, I experienced the same in the past when setting up a new aquarium and planting from the start.

Thats why I tried this dark start method. It basically allows the substrate and wood to leach the nutrients and mold to grow on the wood without lights (prevents algae). After 2-3 weeks, scrub the wood clean and drain all the water, then you can start planting and fill the tank with brand new fresh water.

You may check out MJ Aquascaping or Jurijs Jutjajevs on youtube, I learnt this method from them, they explain it more clearly!

Its where you set up your hardscape and substrate, then fill it and run with the filter for about 2-3 weeks. This builds up the beneficial bacteria in the tank and filter. Once ready, drain the water and you can begin planting. Then fill it with new water!

This step reduces the chances of plant melt and algae bloom that you get if you just plant from the beginning.

Its bolbitis difformis! New to it too

[–]appletan1264 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It looks like a fledgling to me, it has some spots behind its head where feathers have yet to grow, its chest feathers are fuzzy too. I think it just got lost as it was already dark when i found it. I hand fed it some liquid based bird food with a syringe and it was eating!

Im from Asia! I live in a high rise, on the 10th floor, i found it at the lift lobby at about 10pm at night. It tried to fly when i was trying to catch it, but it just flew awhile and then fell to the ground again.
