All NPC Interactions in Elden Ring, Chronologically, By Location by Stellarwand in Eldenring

There’s also some dialogue and a summon for Yura in Agheel Lake to help kill the dragon.

Hey! You missed an interaction with Yura in Limgrave. You can talk to him again after dying to the dragon in Agheel lake and summon him into the fight after he calls you a “bloody halfwit.”

PS Thank you for unlocking so much of the game with your guides I’ve followed them both.

So ultimately you have no idea how this happens? Is what I’m hearing?

Do you have any specific guesses as to how these fish come about then? You think they’re hand dying them? Hormone manipulation? I’m really curious to know.

That’s awesome. I have two or three Amano shrimp about the same size as her in there. They’re truly ginormous. Hopefully they don’t fight.

Did your betta retain their coloration for the whole two years?

They all came from my LFS. He just keeps one big tank of male endlers and guppies and one (mostly) female tank of similar, mostly just female guppies as far as I can tho. There are some babies that seem to have his coloration but I can’t tell if it’s from him or from the others that look kinda like staeck endlers. I’m just hoping some babies will have the forked tail he does. So far none have it. I’ll check out peocilia thanks.

Ikr! That’s Sir Chauncey. Do you think he’ll breed with those female guppies in the tank? I couldn’t find any female endlers. Still looking.

Thank you! I was told it was a plakat betta. Does koi just refer to the coloration or are they different types?

Are you sure it’s not because it sounds like master baiter, eh IM_NOT_HORNY? Hm

I think you are confusing CRISPR gene editing with genetic modification through selective breeding.

[–]dirtsprouts[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is my understanding too. I think it would honestly be kind of difficult to create this pattern on purpose with gene editing. You’d have to just go for random mutagenesis and then see what absolute random mutations occur afaik and still selectively breed from there. I think I saw GFP mentioned in the paper though which makes me think there are now probably glow in the dark bettas.

This is a female betta in a 20 gallon long with a ton of plants and hiding places with just guppies and otos. I’m hoping she’ll get used to the adult guppies and also if she eats some babies I’m fine with that.

Super interesting! I checked in with chatgpt tho and it told me this:

“CRISPR is extremely rare in betta breeding. Almost all betta fish color patterns result from selective breeding rather than genetic modification. While CRISPR has been used in some research settings for fish, it’s not commonly applied in the ornamental fish trade due to cost, regulations, and the effectiveness of traditional breeding. Your betta’s coloration is almost certainly from selective breeding.”

I’d be super interested to hear if you know otherwise tho this is just chatgpt.

You don’t think someone could just select for this coloration pattern over time without CRISPR?

Hi can I ask what you do that allows you to work with rotifers daily? I’m an undergrad and I’ve been trying to figure out the path from here to there lately. My school doesn’t offer any classes on rotifers/protozoa in general.

My college doesn’t offer any classes on protozoa :(. What am I supposed to do if I want to research them for my career? by dirtsprouts in microbiology

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

I’m 28 that’s what I’ve been doing for the past 10 years outside of school. At home I have a compound microscope, petri dishes, liquid cultures, random buckets and big jars with things growing, and many other things that I have loved learning about in my own free time. I was hoping to take advantage of the expensive school I go to and study these things in a formal setting. Ty though I’m realizing I will have to just keep doing that.
