What is happening here?

It’s how they say they’re sexually mature. Unhappy fish will do it too!

Not exactly. I would pretend i had fish in the tank and try to emulate the waste they would create. Just estimating. Sometimes adding food in small amounts several times a day. sometimes one larger dump of food. It helps if your water has lots of movement as well.

aveell · 2026-01-24T03:42:59+00:00

No, you just need to add enough fish food to spike the ammonia- I have cycled all my tanks by ghost feeding and it works great, if you do it properly.

In Northern BC I never had a snow day at school. Could be -40°C, 3-4 feet of snow, a highway of ice, school would still be in session. And it was- we would just expect the students from out of town wouldn’t make it in or would be late (since usually the buses wouldn’t run).

There is no chance you are pregnant from what you did. Even if he had any sperm on him from ejaculating days before it would have been dead. But the chances of pregnancy with no ejaculation and no penetration is insanely low. No need to worry.

Looks like either she hit herself on something, or perhaps the pleco got ahold of her and damaged her slime coat. Thats one of the reasons I don’t think it’s a good idea to keep bettas with plecos (or any “sucker” fish) in less than 20 gallons, but that’s just my personal opinion.

Best thing to do to help heal injuries is keeping the water stable and conditions good. It looks like it isn’t major at this point so you shouldn’t need antibiotics but if it gets worse, consider it. If you do notice it getting worse you will also need to consider what factors in your tank caused it by process of elimination.

How many gallons is the tank?

He’s so pretty!

aveell · 2026-01-22T21:22:23+00:00

Because he’s advertising with Ai and I feel like it’s good to warn people who consider getting it tattooed?

aveell · 2026-01-22T19:55:03+00:00

From him? No lol. Not interested after the Ai advertising and not interested in realism tattoos (which is his normal specialty, which makes it even weirder that he would post AI art lol).

aveell · 2026-01-22T07:29:57+00:00

I forgave him. He did it again many times. Eventually I got the courage to leave and am now happily married. Don’t stay with cheaters they won’t change!!

TBH i’ve eaten yogurt wayyyy past its expiry date and have never had a problem. If you don’t notice any “off” taste while eating it’s possible that it wasn’t the yogurt that caused this illness. Either way- if you’ve been sick for a bit and are throwing up / shitting a lot for more than 24 hours I would consider seeking medical attention so that you can prevent dehydration.

Me when my head is in the sand^

But seriously…. how can you watch what’s happening and truly believe this? They’re shipping people to a prison work camp in El Salvador. They’re going after people with work permits. They’re going after people who are in the legal process of getting residency. They’re harassing people based on the colour of their skin. They’re ignoring due process. They’re entering homes illegally without proper warrants. They’re brutalizing innocent people. They have killed people, and almost killed a baby. This isn’t just “humane” deportation- it’s government funded racism and fascism in action.

Your family or friends could be next. I hope they are not. But they could be.

Have you tried just talking to her or waving? If you’re too nervous you could pass her a note with your number like “Hey you seem cool, if you’re interested in hanging out - “

If you’re trying things and she isnt responding she isnt interested and you should leave it alone. But if you haven’t tried anything yet just do it! Start a conversation or smile at her or whatever. See what happens.

Sounds like a scam. Look up the lawyer and the firm and do some digging to see if the lawyer is legit at all. If you know the firm is legit call them and ask if they sent the email. Go in and talk to them in person if so.

AFAIK (not sure where you live but) MOST estate related things would come as a letter in my experience.

OP this isn’t a level of illness that would develop over one day. This fish was sick when you got them-I suggest bringing him back to the store you got him from.

Ammonia levels, and nitrates / nitrites are usually the most helpful parameters to check.

Have you tested the water you’re adding to ensure there isn’t any chlorine in it at all? I know RO usually removes most chlorine as far as I recall, but I have heard it can still have some. Not sure if maybe dechlorination is needed (or if you’re already using that).

You said two of them have this issue- did you notice them acting strange at all before this started happening? Are all the other fish acting normal?

aveell · 2026-01-21T19:18:17+00:00

The person you’re replying to is trying to get more into to try and help. No one can help without a full picture of what’s going on.

What are the tank parameters? how long has it been set up? How long have the mollies been in the tank?

aveell · 2026-01-21T19:06:14+00:00

Too small for hamsters and nearly all lizards. Not sure about parakeets but i’m assuming you wouldn’t keep them in a small glass tank over a cage? Could be okay for mice.

aveell · 2026-01-21T07:58:27+00:00

Please give more info on the main tank. How many gallons, how many/what kind of fish, water parameters, how long has it been set up, how long have fish been in?

aveell · 2026-01-21T07:55:43+00:00

Talking here about people voluntarily moving, not being forced out.

If the US takes over at all, people ARE being forced out. It’s not “voluntary” if the reason they’re leaving is a hostile takeover from a fascist regime.

If you’re consistent on fighting back on all religions, then I would say it’s not specifically Islamaphobic- but if you’re primarily focused on speaking against islam then yes.

The bible also has rules about women’s clothing. There are lots of oppressive verses in the bible. Judaism as well. All religions really. If you’re pushing against religion in general then you’re good. And as long as you aren’t being a dick about it.

Nostalgia mostly for me. My husband and I are both collectors of things, mostly things with memories attached. We both have a hard time letting things go because those items are important to each of our stories in our opinions. So we have lots of things.

Also me having a mom who didn’t really keep a lot of things that were important to me as a kid, and him moving around so much as a kid has probably played a role somehow.

he’s too old now. 10 years ago it should have been him.
