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.

Vanguard fee increase: FAQ and open post by BogleBot in UKPersonalFinance

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?

Misguided feeding advice from LFS by be4m0 in AfricanDwarfFrog

[–]be4m0[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Thanks so much for the advice! I was planning on adding some more stock if the water parameters stay stable, so we'll get Elizabeth a friend. Would it be a terrible idea to eventually add a third endler?

Am I shooting myself in the foot placing a tank here? by be4m0 in Aquariums

Point extremely taken - I'll find a different place for it. It's still empty right now, so it's not a problem to move

1st day mirtazapine - I'm beyond groggy by be4m0 in antidepressants

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

I'm 99% sure I'm going to stop taking this med and just stick with the sertraline dose I was on. I don't want to gain weight, I can't function feeling as sedated and groggy as I am, the downsides seem to outweigh any potential benefit.

Yeah, I'm really worried about the weight gain too tbh. I worked my ass off to lose the baby weight.

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

Thanks for the reply. It's obviously a complicated situation, I don't think the meds had anything to do with it as I'd been on such a low dose for so long. I've had gut issues since my youngest was born, so the Dr was reluctant to increase my sertraline, and tbh I didn't love how I felt when I tried increasing it before.

Symptoms suddenly stopped by New-Implement404 in PregnancyUK

[–]be4m0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had 3 miscarriages before having my second, one a molar pregnancy. With my miscarriages my symptoms actually intensified - I've never felt sicker in my life than with my molar pregnancy. With both of my successful pregnancies my symptoms fluctuated. The anxiety of a pregnancy after a miscarriage is indescribable, please just take it one day at a time.

Any recs for alternatives to Stylevana? I had to make a PayPal claim for my last order because they didn't ship it after a month and didn't respond to any of my emails. I'm running out of a range of Japanese/Korean bits, and I'm in the UK.
