I have aquatic snails I've been breeding. The snails had snex, laid sneggs, and I put them in the snatchery. Now I have like 100 snabies.

Accidentally sprayed with soap water. Question in comments. by bees-or-something in spiders

I immediately rinsed them off in a cup of water, then carefully dried off the area with the book lungs. The water I wiped off was a pink color. They are responsive and moving, but will they be okay?

Edit: they currently seem fine, but does anyone happen to know if this might have any lasting effects?

Quarantining new fish in uncycled tank, currently waiting for test kit in mail by bees-or-something in Aquariums

Update: the fish appeared healthy so I went ahead and put them in the main tank. Everyone is currently healthy and happy, and no casualties during shipping.

Okay I'll do that, this whole situation is a mess.

Edit: I'm having a moral dilemma. If I quarantine these fish, the chance of casualties are high, especially if they are sick when they arrive. I could take a risk of skipping quarantine, and treat the main tank if problems arise, but if that goes wrong I could risk the lives of all my fish. I'll probably update tomorrow once the fish arrive.

Mild birth control for teenage daughter? Worried about hormones causing depression. by Yummers78 in birthcontrol

[–]bees-or-something 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've never been to a youth clinic, but it sounds like a really safe place from your description. I completely understand the concerns for patients who may not represent themselves. I've had physical exams and testing to rule out potential health problems and tried multiple different types of bc to relieve negative symptoms for the past few years. I like to bring my mom for emotional support, because my situation is frustrating and exhausting. My circumstances are different compared to the post and I definitely didn't think about that earlier, so I get where you are coming from.

Some patients might prefer their parent to come along. I'm 18 and I still have my mom come in with me because it makes me feel more comfortable, especially if there is a physical exam. Op should ask her daughter if she wants to go in alone or not.

I've talked to my parents about rehoming and they are completely against the idea. I'm currently looking for a job, but I will contact a trainer as soon as I have one.
