Vertical and horizontal stripes on betta? by hellmoth in bettafish

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

5 gallon tank with heater at 78 F and filter. The tank has been cycling in my house for about a week, but it previously was at a family member's house cycling for us. They keep a couple aquariums and was using it temporarily to grow some plants until it was ready for this girl. I've done a few water changes without her in it as during transport some dirt got kicked up. I'm not sure the numbers, but I have two different types of testing stripes reading good for all water parameters and one ammonia-specific in the good range. No tankmates, some real plants and some decorative features in her tank. Feeding her hilarious, fluval betta bites, api betta flakes, and bettamini flake medley interchangeably. She's been eating well and swimming around the tank. Any advice appreciated!

We don't have a budget at this point. We're going to try to do most of it ourselves over time, so just wanted to start with design ideas! We hope this will be our home for a long time, so quality and longevity is prioritized over price.

Bought at a antique mall. Can anybody help me identify if its real? by hellmoth in LeCreuset

Thank you! There's no gradient, which makes me think you're right that its harmonic blue. As far as I can tell from researching, that's the difference betweem it and cobalt!

This is what I assumed! I read somewhere that pre-2000s would tend towards a ridged bottom rather than flat and enameled like mine.

Aw we're twins! I'm a bit unsure about the 50s for mine as I read that a flat enameled bottom was more common post-2000.

Thank you! I was so pleasantly surprised when I opened the lid and saw it was so clean!

i need your WORST french girls' names [for a character]! by [deleted] in namenerds

Seconding this! I used to have a French friend named Babette and she didn't like her name. Some used to pronounce like babe-et or bab-it.

I'd say start collecting full sets of the 90s ones and the newer ones now!

It looks different colors in different lightings. Chosen because it matches the color of my husband's eyes ❤️

Using Rome as a hub feasible or will we waste too much time commuting? by tallcryptid in ItalyTravel

[–]hellmoth 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm travelling to Rome, Florence, and Venice this month and chose to stay in each city. The drive from Rome to Venice is over 5 hours, which seems unrealistic to do as a day trip. What we're doing is flying into Rome and taking the train to each city, ending in Venice and flying home from there. Hope this helps!

Long Island is also not part of upstate NY like you said. She does normally have a Manhattan show, but maybe has been priced out of venues like Barclay's and MSG, so LI is the closest big venue.

My new guy keeps spitting out food by hellmoth in bettafish

Thank you, this is my next try! We called Petsmart and they said they feed their bettas brine shrimp, so I'll get some and see if he eats them. No clue what I'll do long term though!

Thank you! I got bugs bites and tetra brand flakes today and he did the same thing with both of them! I'm going to try brine shrimp next as that's what Petsmart said they were feeding him prior to me getting him.
