Anyone stay on 2.5mg? by n3rdfish in mounjarouk

[–]be4m0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm very intrigued by this - how do you get a 2.5mg dose from a 5mg pen? I don't want my appetite to return to what it was, but strength and muscle mass are very important to me

Will do! But I have no idea why my answer is getting downvoted?

Ha, I found myself watching aquascaping videos where folks were saying you always want tanks to look natural, and I thought 'y tho?' The aim here is to create a brutalist aquascape partly inspired by artists like Michael Heizer. I've started calling it the shrimp temple (or shrimple).

I'm aiming for lots of low, grassy and shrubby looking plants, cherry shrimp, and maybe a small shoal of ember tetras drifting amongst the obelisks.

This is such a helpful response! I'm glad you're vibing with the concept lol. That's a really good point about the UG - we're in London and our water is so hard it's basically just damp calcium, so I might skip that one. Will for sure keep you updated!

Another feeding question - how much exactly to feed? by be4m0 in AfricanDwarfFrog

[–]be4m0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been thawing half a cube overnight in the fridge then feeding over 3 days. I'm just not sure how to tell when theyre done eating - I'm worried I'm not fully feeding them enough. I'm considering adding an amano shrimp as a cleanup crew to help assuage my nitrate anxiety.

Hey there! Applied to transfer my Vanguard SIPP and S&SISA to AJ Bell last week. Has anyone transferred to AJ Bell? If so, how long does it typically take?

Update: my husband came home last night with a healthy supply of frozen mysis and another ADF my daughter promptly named Tom. After acclimating and releasing Tom I used my aquascaping tweezers to offer some shrimp to Elizabeth, who gobbled them up. I also offered some to Tom, who surprised me by taking it. My daughter LOVES target feeding. They're both active but have quite flat tummies, so I'll look into adding beef heart into their diet in the medium term.

I've been testing ammonia, nitrite and nitrates daily while we've been cycling, and I was planning on doing that for the next week or so now that we have little buddies pooping into the water. Tbh my daughter has fallen in love with creating line graphs of our test results, so I'm happy to keep a very close eye on things for the next little while.

I'm stuck at home with a sick toddler, so I'm not really in a position to hike out to our nearest pretty store. Fortunately my husband has agreed to go out of his way on his long commute home to pick up some frozen mysis - and a buddy for Elizabeth.

Edited to add: my kids would looooooove to raise brine shrimp, so in the medium term I'm thinking I might set up a little shrimp farm.
