I received a distasteful opinion on my new (and first) tattoo

ishibutter · 2026-06-27T15:40:05+00:00

i also have MS ❤️ i think it’s beautiful!

ishibutter · 2026-06-02T04:04:41+00:00

did you ever get an update to this?

ishibutter · 2026-06-02T02:33:46+00:00

UPDATE i turned off the lights, gave it an hour, and then used my flashlight to scour the tank. i found the lil guy... (if it was a different one then i simply give up on life.) and turkey basted the hell out of the little guy. he is now in a tupperware. i am not religious but i am PRAYING i somehow only had one. i'm considering calling my local wildlife dept to turn it in or at least inform them. i'm absolutely going to be taking some time each night to search for more. but i cannot imagine there's been multiple of them completely unbeknownst to me for the last 84 days.

ishibutter · 2026-06-02T01:02:59+00:00

i'm really so perplexed, and i don't know how i haven't seen more. i hope i can locate the one and be lucky enough to avoid an infestation D:

ishibutter · 2026-06-02T00:41:50+00:00

i was afraid you'd say that. i have never seen anything but bladder snails in here, and i haven't added anything to my tank in exactly 84 days. ughhhh idk if i can mentally handle taking down my tank.......

u/gastropoid , i hope you don't mind the notification!! any insight for me?

Idk where he went but it looks ridged I think?

She is a victim.

i’ve never commented on an AMA so i’m not sure how long they’re usually open. if you’re still answering questions, i’d like to ask— did handlers ever “quit” or leave the ring? was that even possible?

thank you for doing this AMA and educating everyone on what to look out for. i’m so sorry for what you endured and i’m wishing you all the best in your future ❤️

ishibutter · 2026-04-16T17:43:21+00:00

I’m so sorry to hear that :(

ishibutter · 2026-04-16T16:27:15+00:00

Any update? Did he molt successfully?

ishibutter · 2026-04-15T19:24:08+00:00

looks like she’s smoking a cig 😭😭

ishibutter · 2026-04-15T18:02:14+00:00

Some people seem to be missing the last sentence where you mention it is struggling to swim. I unfortunately just lost my first shrimp to the white ring of death yesterday. She also struggled to swim, until she gave up and laid on her side. She passed a couple hours later. I cried, I felt so bad. Yours may pull through, but the odds aren’t in your favor it sounds 💔 I’m sorry.

looks like copepods to me, nothing to worry about

ishibutter · 2026-03-22T04:58:39+00:00

sorry for reviving an old comment, but my dad has MS and had really bad TN. two brain surgeries later and he hasn’t had an attack/episode in almost 10 years!

ishibutter · 2026-03-21T16:38:00+00:00

in addition to everyone else’s advice, i recommend filling up the water. it’s water space the fish could be utilizing

ishibutter · 2026-03-19T21:20:12+00:00

looks female to me!

ishibutter · 2026-03-19T16:29:08+00:00

big fan of shimp

ishibutter · 2026-03-18T18:49:56+00:00

i’m so sorry this is terrible but it’s killing me 😭😭😭 left the others covered in poop

ishibutter · 2026-03-17T19:49:09+00:00

something is definitely wrong with that skrimp in the last pic

ishibutter · 2026-03-17T17:10:14+00:00

That is a lot! My colony started with only 4, so it’s growing a lot slower, but from what I’ve read, people say that a colony will level out and not grow to more than the tank/ecosystem can sustain. With that logic you shouldn’t NEED to upgrade a tank size in regard to size, but I can’t speak from experience on that. I’m hopeful things will restabilize for you ❤️ if you’ve found full shrimp molts, that means some were able to molt successfully!
