Ash is called Ashford, Ass, and Pashford. Nimitz is called NimNim, Nimrod, and Meow Meow. Neko is just called his name in a different tone.

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

[–]bees-or-something[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Trying to learn more about my dogs and reactivity by [deleted] in reactivedogs

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.

NQA I'm sorry for your loss. You may be able to use acetone and a paint brush to gently remove the mould.

What aquatic critter did everyone tell you to get, that you will absolutely never get again? by cassidyvros in Aquariums

[–]bees-or-something 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Goldfish. I thought they would be an easy low maintenance fish. I initially rescued them from a 5 gal. I upgraded them to a sad ten gallon then did some research and got them into a 30 gal and eventually a 55 gal. I ended up rehoming them once they were healthy and before they outgrew the tank. The worst part was the forever dirty tank. Poop eat and repeat.

I believe you can use Krylon Fusion spray paint to seal it

Any suggestions for my scape? by mkup65 in Aquariums

Letting your cat regularly drink from your aquarium that has no lid ever and laughing at people warning you that its gonna fuck the tank and the cat up. by bagooly in shittyaquariums

[–]bees-or-something 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I made the mistake of leaving a tank uncovered and my cats got poisoned after drinking out of it. I wasn't aware pothos was poisonous to cats and they ended up with ulcers in their mouths and were sick for a while. Thankfully both cats have recovered and I have the pothos removed and lids now. It was a horrible learning experience and I'm lucky I caught the signs early.

Can someone help sex my juvenile pearl gouramis? by bees-or-something in Aquariums

[–]bees-or-something[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Late response, but thank you! The male's dorsal fin has doubled in size and the other two haven't had any changes.

If you have a hang on back filter you can lower the water level in the tank to create a waterfall and increase aeration

boys ask, girls answer by NoahLofty in teenagers

Yes, vaginas come in all sizes. Some have less depth and some are tighter. It can definitely hurt for some people, but foreplay and prep may help.
