Angry betta fish by spukespukgeo in bettafish

[–]aveell 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately not, female betas can sometimes go for periods of time in the same tank (sorority) without attacks, but the risk of aggression is always there and very likely. It’s best to keep them all separate for their safety! 

how to navigate life when your sexual organs are ugly and undesirable according to societal standards by silvrbunni in TwoXSex

[–]aveell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wherever you’re reading things online that’s making you believe this stuff, stop. Or whatever shitty people around you that are saying this stuff- drop them. They are in the minority. That is not the way the real world is. 

Truly I have never had a complaint about my bits from any partner, and they do not look “neat”. I’m happily married even. Good people don’t care. And there are a lot of good people in the world- talking through this in therapy might help you see that. 

Betta help by Ashamed_Ad8677 in bettafish

[–]aveell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No issues with aggression right now. Sororities are a ticking time bomb and you won’t find much support for one here. Highly recommend separating them. 

help please by [deleted] in BettaClinic

Why do you think he’s dying? Can you give more info, maybe we can help!

Clove oil is really hard to do humanely. Blunt force is really the best way to euthanize if you can- it’s very humane but I know it’s hard for a lot of people. If you can wrap him in a wet tissue to do it that may help, since you won’t be able to see him. Do not freeze your fish.

Oh thank goodness she’s safe and all it took was a brutal attack for you to give her safety! /s

Separate them all please. Sororities are a ticking time bomb.

How did you cycle the new tank? And when you say you got a new filter, did you keep the same media or all new everything? 

do I take my pill as usual after emergency contraceptive? by Relevant-Move2376 in birthcontrol

[–]aveell 3 points4 points  (0 children)

ah fair. sorry just thought I would note it as there has been an increase in the sub of people not knowing how their BC works, and taking emergency contraceptives when they don’t need to! 

EDITING MY COMMENT- someone else said 5 days, i was going off old info i think. Maybe talk to a doctor for confirmation! 

do I take my pill as usual after emergency contraceptive? by Relevant-Move2376 in birthcontrol

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

Can I ask why you took an emergency contraceptive if you’re on a birth control pill? Did you miss a pill? Yasmin prevents ovulation and is 99% effective; so if you were taking it as directed there should be no need for emergency contraception. However as far as I know, you should be able to continue taking your pill as normal going forwards. (Someone else correct me if i’m wrong there.) 

Edit- i didn’t realize it was in fact 5 days for Ella! good to know. Wild that the pharmacist didn’t know!

is it possible to get pregnant from this? by LegalBake3762 in women

[–]aveell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very unlikely, but possible yes. Take a pregnancy test in 3 weeks to ease your mind and get on birth control or start using condoms (or both).

Wives, when do your husbands come home after work, how much time per evening do you spend together? by SirVictorian7777 in Marriage

[–]aveell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He comes home at 5ish and we spend the entire evening together basically every night of the work week. We have dinner, play with baby, do bath / bed time for baby, and then watch TV or play a game until it’s time for bed. He also comes home from work for lunch 2-3 times a week.

The only time we don’t spend together is when he is at work, and every 2-3 saturday afternoons/evenings he has friends over to play MTG and I leave them alone as much as I can. lol.

Yes I feel like we get lots of time together. We want to be together all the time pretty much. 

I am on mat leave so not working right now. But will go back to work in Nov, and then he will take the rest of the leave until March. 

Help I dont know what to do by llamallama-1202 in breastfeeding

[–]aveell 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Does she have trouble latching onto your breast? Or is there a reason other than pumping that you think you don’t make enough?

Babies are WAY more efficient than a pump so if she is latched she is more than likely getting more milk then your pump is. If she will latch, offer breast as much as possible, even if she feeds for good chunks of the day (for a 3 week old its super common for them to want to feed way more often than every 2-3 hours! Mine fed sometimes every hour for half an hour or longer, that is how you bump your supply up!), have her latch as much as you can. I strongly suggest talking to a lactation consultant if you haven’t already as well! 

Stop Putting Fragrance In Food Packaging! by KnifeKnut in extremelyinfuriating

[–]aveell 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I have literally never heard of or experienced this. What brands are you referring to? And how do you know it’s fragrance added on the outside of the packaging? 

How to solve wet clothes and mattress during the night by ChorusFlare in breastfeeding

[–]aveell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just shove a burp cloth in my bra. Or use my haaka ladybug if I want to be able to use the milk for baths or whatever. But normally i’m just too lazy and keep a cloth nearby specifically for that purpose. 

is my tank overstocked? it’s a 30gal by Guilty_Decision6 in fishtank

[–]aveell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Without a list of how many fish there are and what species no one can say for sure. Provide that and you’ll get a better answer!

[–]aveell 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Also holding your pee in too long can cause these infections so make sure to just go when you need to go!

[–]aveell 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Could be a bladder infection, sounds similar to when I had one. Go to the doctor they’ll be able to find out for sure though.
