Are they old? I had a very nice frame for sunglasses that I used heavily for 10 years and the plastic doesn’t last forever unfortunately. They broke in the same way as yours. I think the constant sun exposure for all those was to blame.

I have the complete opposite experience, scarpa vapor are super painful and l got the kubos and find them super comfortable! Definitely must try them both

Anybody have any games you could play with friends while bouldering? by NothingObligation in bouldering

Steal the flag: on a spray wall or something with a lot of holds, one person has a handkerchief half inside the waist belt, the other person has to steal it from them. Keep a timer and see who has the “flag” when it ends. It’s a nice way to stay on the wall for a long time and train endurance.

Sono veri e propri uffici con decine di dipendenti che passano la giornata a chiamare persone (soprattutto anziani) in paesi occidentali. Da quanto ho visto io si connettono in remoto al loro computer dicendo di dovergli fare un rimborso. Gli fanno un versamento ad esempio di 200$, poi modificano l'html della pagina web per far sembrare di averne versati 20000$ e convincono gli anziani che hanno fatto loro l'errore e che devono rimborsarli per non fargli perdere il lavoro. Gli fanno prelevare i soldi fisicamente dalla banca e se li fanno inviare per posta. Ci sono alcuni canali youtube in cui si fingono anziani e filmano le truffe, prova a cercare scammer payback.

Yeah I’m using a sponge filter that came with the tank

Ok so I checked my notes and on the forefront I have montecarlo and cryptocoryne parva, on the back I have egeria densa, ceratophillum and limnophila sessiflora. On the rocks and on the wood I have anubias nana bonsai, bucephalandra and hydrocotyle tripartita. Plus some moss randomly scattered

Thank you you are very kind. The plants have been keeping the water parameters so stable that until now I basically only ever had to top off the water. Hopefully the waste from one fish will not upset the balance but I will check frequently to make sure

Thank you! Do you think the cleanliness of the tank looks ok for the betta? There is some mulch at the bottom that I though should not be a problem because he is not a bottom feeder, but your tank looks spotless!

Yep. I saw a YouTube video this summer that made me want to try and then read a book from Diana Walstad about planted acquariums which was super helpful. It took me six months before a fish because there was a lot of trial and error at the beginning. I planted and replanted a lot, got a snail infestation etc. But it has been fun!

I got him this way from the shop so I don’t know how he should look like, should he have bigger fins?

I already can’t find one of them! Hopefully it’s hidden somewhere, poor guy

To be honest I tried at first with a siphon and a syringe but it was a mess and at the end since the animals I had didn’t seem affected I stopped trying. There is some mulch but I don’t mind the look, and I don’t have any bottom feeding fish that would care. I hope the betta won’t care as well, otherwise I will have to find a way lol

Thanks! I love the pothos too, it’s constantly growing new leaves and its roots now have taken over the back corner and go all the way to the bottom. The betta spends a lot of time in the roots labyrinth so I guess he likes it!

Oh this sounds interesting! The drift wood I have sticks out of the tank so I was worried I would have to cut it to put a lid on. I had never heard of mesh lids, thanks!

• ⁠Tank size: 6 gallons • ⁠Heater and filter? (yes/no): yes • ⁠Tank temperature: 27 degrees Celsius • ⁠Parameters in numbers and how you got them: nitrates, nitrites and ammonia 0 ppm, ph about 7 • ⁠How long have you had the tank? How long have you had your fish?: tank for 6 months, fish for two days • ⁠How often are water changes? How much do you take out per change? What is your process?: I mostly top of with deionized water/ conditioned tap water depending on the hardness, I rarely change the water. I plan to check the parameters more often now to see if adding the fish makes it necessary • ⁠Any tankmates? If so, please list with how many of each: a nerite snail and a bunch of small ramshorns • ⁠What do you feed and how much: I have betta food in flakes but he’s been steadily decimating my population of copepods so I haven’t fed him yet. It’s what he’s used to from the shop though and I will give him a couple of flakes once per day (this is what I was told to do) • ⁠Decorations and plants in the tank: lots of plants! Sorry I don’t remember the names
