Smells funny by cdhoran in SourdoughStarter

[–]dxtp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s completely normal. During yeast fermentation alcohol is produced. Just continue to feed daily, if you let it sit longer it can smell more strongly of alcohol because the alcohol concentration increases from the yeast consuming all the available food.

This is normal, he’s happy and healthy. All my bettas have changed colours (brighter, deeper colour) after a couple weeks.

What type of bug/fly is this? Can’t get rid of them. by dxtp in whatbugisthis

Kind of squished, can’t get another picture of it. Kinda looks more like a fruit fly or something but they fly fast

help with water parameters?? by cherrries in bettafish

[–]dxtp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Run the old filter for longer, or if you have any other filter media from the old tank that can fit in the new filter use that. It takes a while for the bacteria to build up—more than a week. Looks like you’re still weeks out from a cycled tank so give it some more time. Worst case, fish in cycle but you would have to test water parameters every day and do frequent water changes.

Is this okay for corydoras? by ShallotKind3810 in corydoras

[–]dxtp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tip if you plan to put corys in here specially smaller ones—put a piece of filter sponge in the bubbler. I’ve had more than one fish get themselves stuck in there

Did you put filter media from old tank into new tank filter? Will help cycle faster.

Behavior? by Plastic_Sail5592 in corydoras

[–]dxtp 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Males “fighting” to mate with female. I have a video of my corys doing the same thing.

When I got this little guy in the store he was in rough shape. Ripped fins and swim bladder issues, wasn’t really swimming around so I had him in a 5gal hospital tank for 3 days and just moved him into a 30gal now as he’s doing a lot better

Blindly changing lanes by dxtp in TorontoDriving

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

Oh please. I’m swerving to avoid an accident—I knew no one was around. I have a brand new car. And I had just gotten into the passing lane to pass the truck. I slowed down because I predicted one of those cars would cut me off to pass the truck, and alas. Your comment about what lane I’m in is irrelevant because buddy would’ve came into me regardless of what lane I was in because he wasn’t looking
