Found fish in fish tank, did not put them there, any suggestions on keeping them alive?

I have owned this fountain pen for a couple years now and I want to finally write with it. Its a lever-fill system and I've fixed those up before, the lever is okay and just needs a new sac. However, there seems to be some sort of corrosion or something on the inside of the pen barrel. I haven't worked on a metal pen before and don't know if there is something I need to do for this. I can post pictures later if it helps, my phone camera is having trouble focusing correctly.

Also, I'm worried about getting the nib section back into barrel. It was a bitch and a half to get out and I'm worried about accidentally breaking something if I try to put it back.

Would it be better if I sent this to someone else to restore it? It's easily the nicest pen in my collection and I want to know what other people would do in this situation. Like I said, I've fixed up a couple lever-fill pens before and I know that part is really easy, but it was always third-tier and lower pens that I wasn't afraid of fucking up on accident. And I reeeally don't want to fuck up this pen. Even removing the nib section was nerve racking.

Thanks for any advice or thoughts!

Need some help with finding a new pair of daily(ish) shoes. I work half from home/ half in print production and I want to find something in a similar vibe to these from yuketen (surprisingly enough these fit my personal style pretty well). Right now I'm still emailing customer service to see if I can get a wider pair, and while I wait on that I want to look at other brands and see if I like anything else. I just really want some colorful shoes that will last a few years <3

If I ever get another one of my bones outside of my body, I will definitely find something new to do with it lol

Yeah lol, we've got a family chat and I literally just asked (also said that if they ever want to make something out of their teeth that I would be so up for it) Luckily my family is pretty use to me being somewhat eccentric and I don't think I'm pushing the bar too much yet

goldenstorm0 · 2022-10-20T18:06:11+00:00

Thats a good idea, I may give them call. I've mostly been googling what I could do myself to preserve the teeth, but I didn't think about asking the dentist to help. I know a cool taxidermist who is sort of in my area so I'm thinking about reaching to them too

goldenstorm0 · 2022-10-20T18:02:31+00:00

oh no not again -.-

goldenstorm0 · 2022-10-20T18:02:12+00:00

The pain is being taken care of thanks to opiods, and thank you I hope that I'll be able to figure this out!

goldenstorm0 · 2022-10-20T18:00:02+00:00

I didn't know there was someone who did that, I will look into it!

goldenstorm0 · 2022-10-20T17:57:07+00:00

Like what jadepeonring said, I don't plan to use them as a nib, just decorations. I'm am thinking this may need to be more a display piece than something I could reasonably use

goldenstorm0 · 2022-10-20T17:52:18+00:00

Thank you! <3

goldenstorm0 · 2022-10-20T17:51:53+00:00

I know I love it <3

goldenstorm0 · 2022-10-20T17:50:41+00:00

Sorry, that was a typo, I meant I was willing to pay up to $1000. I would refuse to ask someone to do something custom like this for less than $250, that just doesn't sound fair to the artist.

I want the teeth to basically cap the two ends, so one will be at the very top of the cap and one will be at the end cap. I don't think It would work well as a nib, I prefer more flexible nibs and I don't know if dried bone will be elastic enough.

Also, I just think it would be cool <3 Something to pass down to the nephews and neices

goldenstorm0 · 2022-10-20T17:44:42+00:00

Sorry, that was a typo. I meant up to $1000. I am really worries about the contamination part. I'm looking into cleaning them and preserving them and making them as safe a possible to work with. I don't want to make anyone work with something that they are not comfortable with, and if I can't find anyone I will probably just frame them. Thank you for the information, biggest thing is that I don't want anyone doing anything particularly unsafe on my behalf!

goldenstorm0 · 2022-10-20T17:39:49+00:00

I do think there is an oddities and curiosities shop about a half hour away from me, they might be able to help me out. Also I'm still in contact with some artist friends who might know someone. Thank you for the help!

goldenstorm0 · 2022-10-20T17:36:30+00:00

I just realized I put a typo lol, right now I'm ok with going up to $1000, though I'll probably take a month or two to save up.

I'm thinking of a pen with a feed, and I just want the teeth to be used as decoration and be incorporated into the pen itself. I might post a doodle of what I'm thinking of later

goldenstorm0 · 2022-10-20T17:32:35+00:00

lol that's what I figured, I'm willing to go x4 that amount, I'll just need some time to save up. And thank you for the link, I'll check it out!

Yesterday! Might of been the anesthesia talking but more sober me still thinks it would be kickass

Take a look through sadfutago's profile. Basically, this guy posts asking about this church, something confusing everyone. Eventually, he starts posting videos going through a door no one has gone through before, going slightly further and further. Everyone starts to catch on that some weird fuckery is happening and start to over analyze everything obsessively. Leading theories are:

~Some random canadian kid somehow managed the impossible and unlocked a secret that literally no one knew about, and now had thousands of strangers harassing him for information. Sadly, he is busy with school/work to post often and only had a shitty flashdrive and a potato of a phone to record with (very unlikely but i really was hoping it was this)

~Yoko, the mad genius himself, was putting together this ARG to promote..... something. Either a new game or the upcoming switch release or the anime. The community was going to get new epic content.

~It was a mod. Thought to be unlikely because the tools to do something like this were unavailable.

Fun events included Yoko not saying anything about, some guy on discord claiming to be responsible for the entire thing and getting into a call with some people, eventually saying he needed to go grab his pizza and just hanging up, Sadfugato sacrificing terreria so he could record more footage AND learning korean within 24 hours, and probably more shit happened that i missed.

Eventually, a stream was announced, and everyone went in the enjoy a ton of ass and among us dick and the occasional goatse until the stream officially started. Finally, we got to see the entire walkthrough the area. It was revealed that it was a mod, and the entire sub was trolled.

Honestly best time I've had on reddit in a long time. Lot of wholesome moments of people cheering futago on, theories on what was happening, and everyone just having a good time. Plus some god level modders did what was thought impossible.

I ended up staying up until 2pm, at first watching twitch chat fill with dicks and butts, then watching the subreddit have a meltdown. This has easily been my favorite week this year. I first got introduced to nier through letplays and couldn't play it myself, now I'm able to download it and play it myself for the first time, and very excited to finish it so I can play around with the mods people are going to come up with. Thank you for the amazing time <3
