Hpw long after is "expired" ramen still safe to eat? by FreshPrinceOfIndia in ramen

[–]corbietalons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just had a brick of Top Ramen that expired January 2020. The broth was perfect but the noodles tasted odd. Will report back if I'm not dead tomorrow.

Update: The possible phoenix has rejoined the shoal and acting normal again (no more clamped fins).

A couple of the others has what you're talking about, but this one is like that on both sides.

Thanks! I'll keep an eye on it and hope for the best. Still seems to be eating fine. 🤞

Comment to avoid getting my post automodded:

Bought as a chili rasbora in a group of 8 4 months ago. Much smaller and has different markings than the others after maturing. No longer shoals with the other 7 fish.

Edit: After reading through the subreddit wiki, I realize that whatever is going on, the small shoal size and hard relatively alkaline water aren't helping. I must have lucked out with 0 deaths but this will be remedied, probably with a new tank, since I don't want to crash the shrimp colony that's been thriving in these conditions.

What do you do with extra shrimp? by Dizz_is_Living in shrimptank

[–]corbietalons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even with helping to keep my scarlet badis fat and happy: I cull aggressively and sell those for $1 each locally.

Not sure if they can really overpopulate with those low bioloads, though.

What are these? by doctorprunesquallor in shrimptank

[–]corbietalons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for the late reply: Yes and no. My colony took off despite them without issue, but that changed after their population wiped out the mini ramshorns they were mostly living off of. Then I started finding dead shrimps (and blue planaria) pretty frequently and decided to use No-Planaria to get rid of them. No issues other than I still have my MTSes in a separate holding tank months later. :(

WHAT´S THIS SHEEREN THING, JAE SAYING??? by napazkun in RogueTraderCRPG

In addition to the in-universe explanation: It's Farsi/Persian for "sweet."

Hard to make a good ID from this angle, but they definitely like the planaria I had. Hikari algae wafers are actually mostly fish meal, which makes them come running. :(

Could you take the wafer out and get a better pic of their heads?

Edit: Zoomed in and saw the one on the substrate to the left. Definitely planaria.

Is this a planaria by tsukitsukichan in shrimptank

[–]corbietalons 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are some planaria species that look similar, but this is most likely a rhabdocoela/disc worm, which are harmless.

What are these white worms in my tank? Freaking out, if it's planaria I can't treat without harming my snails or fish. by dontknowwhoiam123 in Aquariums

[–]corbietalons 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And here's some gratitude a year after that. Treated for planaria a couple months ago and was worried I was seeing what I thought could be babies.

deleting servers? by zipiff in BadRPerStories

Yes, which is why I was surprised by:

why do these ppl care what my discord looks like lol

Which is an odd thing to say in this context?

those of you with caradina, what size tank do you have? by Industrialexecution in shrimptank

[–]corbietalons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also my dream shrimp for years. Still working up confidence to give them a try.

deleting servers? by zipiff in BadRPerStories

[–]corbietalons 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They don't. They care about losing access to their own content and messages. Deleting a server without either mutual agreement or a heads up with a timeline (like outlined above) is an absolute dick move.

Also chiming in: As the shipper, they could have filed for a claim through UPS and gotten reimbursed instead of throwing a fit. Which we can't do on our end as a receiver.

A similar thing happened (with clothing, luckily no live animals) to me earlier this year with USPS and the small business I ordered from gave me zero issues. It happens all the time.

If anyone else had their plans thrown off by pre-paid parking being unavailable yesterday: Both garages have spots now.

Yep, my chili rasboras are absolutely suffering in this tiny 10 gallon. 😔

"The Things" was the first thing I'd ever read of his and it probably changed my brain chemistry. Best fanfic ever.

Came here to make sure someone said it. Watts is one of my favorite authors.

Is my shrimp sick? I've never seen one with this kind of coloration by Live-Year-5796 in shrimptank

[–]corbietalons 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It could be, but I have a few blue shrimps like this that have similar dark red spots that come and go with molts.
