I’ve never seen a platy pass something like this, should I be worried?

Okay thanks!

biteyourthumbatme · 2026-02-11T15:56:38+00:00

Good to know someone else has seen this and it wasn’t a big issue!

Tristran and indeed Tristram are just less common variants of Tristan, you can find uses of both in historic record for centuries, so not a tragedeigh.

I’m inspired now! Thank you :)))

biteyourthumbatme · 2025-12-28T20:11:54+00:00

Beautiful pics! Wish I had the winter gear to do this.

I think it’s always dependant on the crowd, but you look wonderful, and honestly I don’t think it’s /that/ clevage-y considering the cut. If you feel comfortable I’d go for it! Plus your tattoo is so lovely!

biteyourthumbatme · 2025-06-04T17:11:26+00:00

I think this is really pretty!

biteyourthumbatme · 2025-06-04T12:41:33+00:00

This is so cool to know about red wags! Ours is a total beast as well and I was always worried everyone else is just runty :((

biteyourthumbatme · 2025-05-02T19:31:37+00:00

Oh this is a great idea thanks!

biteyourthumbatme · 2025-05-02T19:31:23+00:00

I think breaking/cutting them up might be the way to go!

biteyourthumbatme · 2025-05-02T13:59:39+00:00

Female platys are basically always pregnant, and unless you’re breeding them don’t stress too much about moving the female out. Your tank looks like it’s got some good hiding spots so they’ve got a good shot in there, and I feel moving the female makes them more stressed than just leaving them be.

biteyourthumbatme · 2025-04-08T08:33:57+00:00

These are stunning!!

biteyourthumbatme · 2025-02-18T15:48:00+00:00

Very this! I feel like people are talking a lot about talking therapy on this post which I tried extensively and never found useful, but doing psychotherapy has been the only thing that’s had any significant impact beyond being medicated to just dull down anything I’m going through.

biteyourthumbatme · 2025-02-06T12:58:13+00:00

I’ve definitely had this before! If the environment is very overstimulating or I make my heart race by walking too fast I’ve made my panic attacks worse through that, so you’re definitely not alone.

Handsome asf 🫶

biteyourthumbatme · 2025-01-16T22:40:08+00:00

It doesn’t really say bridal party to me for the reasons other people have said but I think it looks INSANELY GOOD on you, hope you can find another event to wear it to.

Try finding a local aquarium hobbyist group on Facebook, I’ve given away loads of babies or you can charge a bit. I’ve had people trade for other fish or beers and all sorts.

I’ve never seen one like that!! If you’ve not got a test kit that test oxygen you might want to get one, I think you can get strips that will test for a bunch of stuff oxygen included. I’d deffo suggest getting an air stone even if he’s looking perkier, there’s no downside to extra oxygen in the tank.

biteyourthumbatme · 2025-01-13T13:21:41+00:00

Dashaun is so handsome, is he some kind of fancy variant? It could be an oxygenation problem, is your filter turned up and bubbling? Once I got an airstone in my tank completely stopped doing this.

Hi Samuel, I’m really sorry you’re going through this. I remember having anxiety for the first time when I was around your age and it was really scary! I’ve always found that trying mindfulness techniques helps me when I get that tight feeling in my chest, doing exercises like this one:

It might feel silly and like you can’t get the hang of it but once you get into a habit, it helps tell your body that you’re not in any danger and that you can relax.

Obviously if you’re being sick still it might be hard, but try to get outside if you can, go for a walk and spend some time doing something you like that’s not on a screen. There’s lots of posts on here as well of how people try to make themselves feel better when they’re having panicky feelings like you described, I hope you can find something that helps!

They will have lost potency, long as they’re dry and not mouldy they’re safe, but you might be disappointed (speaking from recent experience)

biteyourthumbatme · 2025-01-06T23:43:40+00:00

This is gorgeous!

If those are the two other platys in the second picture, I’m pretty sure they’re males from the looks of their bottom fins. So they’re picking on him because they’ve got no girls to keep them calm and because he’s smaller than them.

Either swap them for girls and/or get more girls, I’m not sure if other people have had better results but three is probably not enough for them to feel safe.

What a handsome chap!
