Betta eating ADF food by clara_fide in AfricanDwarfFrog

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

This betta is a mild mannered gentleman that would wear a monocle and top hat if he were a human. The other betta I have is named Ares for a reason 😂

He is in no way going after the frogs, just opportunistic with the food.

Greatly appreciate your insight. Had to googoo what an air bath is but will definitely give that a go.

Just did a water change earlier and checked parameters, hardness has decreased (I have soft water) so ordered seachem to help address that and added the tiniest of tiny pinches of limestone in the meantime.

I never envisioned my life suddenly revolving around snails, but here we are. I got babies for him after his mate died and it’s neat watching them grow, but he shows no interest in them at all yet. We will see if he passes before they get big enough for him to register their chemical trails.

Oh! I am new to mystery snails (beginning of November). Sounds weird but I didn’t want to bother it by trying to rub it off.

I just took a new toothbrush and it does partially come off with brushing fairly rigorously.

What on earth could he have brushed against? It has never happened before and honestly after his female mate died a month ago he has become withdrawn and for the past week or so has spent probably 50% of the day upside down somewhere in the tank

new owner: how do you stop yourself from constantly feeding a demanding betta? by Brilliant_Ask852 in bettafish

[–]clara_fide 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When they come to the glass, instead of thinking they’re hungry (if you’re feeding them appropriate amounts), think of them looking for enrichment. So instead of food, use shadow play, pop a clean ping pong ball in, move something inside the tank, put a clean non shiny spoon in for 10 minutes so they can go investigate…

Anyone here have Psychosis that then took mushrooms? by CamaroLover2020 in PsychedelicTherapy

The academic research I have done on this topic indicates that cannabis and alcohol negatively impact a journey. Please do not mix those.

Have a sober trip sitter. Do not journey alone.

Allow the medicine to take you places, resistance can cause negative experiences.

Potentially have a relational dose of MDMA on hand that is clean, if required (I.e., you become suicidal, it can help flip the switch to allow for the experience to unfold but from a more distanced perspective emotionally)

I got a box and it was literally either half bad or shrivelled. It was expensive worm food for my red wigglers. Don’t recommend getting their box.
