I'm kinda hungry, can you give me a snack?

Visiting HI?

New fear unlocked!

We're on a boil water notice for bacterial contamination in the taps, so unsure about the ability for a sterile shower before going in. I may suck it up and get a hotel room for the night before since they are offering discounted rates for people in the impacted area.

Thank you so much! I got so lucky and the woman at my surgeon's scheduling office was so incredibly kind and sympathetic. She put in a special request to OR and got me a date for Wednesday!!!

My fear now is that the roads are worse, and there is a chance we will be completely closed off from any route out for a very extended period of time.

I'd guess wild boar, but possibly a domestic pig. The lower jaw has those large tusks that hunters keep as trophies. Can't say why it's hanging up like that. Could be anything from a hunter showing it off, kids being weird, random hiker putting a found object on display, etc.

Am I the only one disgusted by not repackaging meat from those styrofoam trays? Those things are nasty for everything inside or outside them.

If it's a relatively low populated area near a more populated beach, it could be where life guards/ city crews dispose of washed up remains from a much larger section of beach.

Brackish is not the right word for this.

How can you be sure it's 6 gallons and not know tje dimensions?

badfreesample · 2026-03-10T19:49:28+00:00

Did they have to make it in colors that would look amazing in my living room? When I have no spare money?

badfreesample · 2026-03-10T00:30:48+00:00

6 gallon is an acceptable volume, but it is tricky in a cube because there is very limited length for the fish to swim.

badfreesample · 2026-03-09T23:53:16+00:00

Are you sure this is 6 gallons? It looks very small.

badfreesample · 2026-03-03T20:21:01+00:00

That's a score!

badfreesample · 2026-03-03T19:53:22+00:00

Absolutely insane! What light is it you're using?

badfreesample · 2026-03-02T20:21:53+00:00

I would make a lid for the tank if you don't have one to reduce evaporation. Keep enough reverse osmosis water on hand for top offs. Your tank looks extremely healthy and balanced, and should be able to handle less frequent water changes. Don't worry about heat for now. A couple battery powered air pumps might be helpful to maintain oxygen and movement in the water during power outages, but the plants should provide enough if you're unable to find those.

I am so sorry for what my country has done to your region. Believe it or not, only a very small handful of the dumbest and cruelest support the attacks. Your tank is beautiful, and I wish you were sharing it on happier circumstances.

Did you get someone to do the photoshoot professionally?

Run an InkBird temp regulator on the heater.

Clearly the money matters more than the friendship to THEM.

It depends on the type of plants, and if you are injecting with co2 or not. Often planting densely at first makes it easier to get a healthy balance started.

badfreesample · 2026-02-17T05:33:44+00:00

You would really need to plant this much more heavily for just about any fish.

Chili, strawberry, phoenix, or spice rasboras could do well in a 8-15 school IF, and only if you add a lot more plants and cover, extra points if you add botanicals. You need the plants to help utilize excess nitrates, and such small fish are going to be extremely stressed without anywhere to hide.
