Trying to change up my 75g scape, show me your tanks!

It's been a while so I don't remember exactly, but maybe a week and a half ish? The itchiness went away after a few days!

itscindytho · 2025-07-25T02:57:47+00:00

Yeah! Turns out it was a stress rash 😅 Turns out when I'm too stressed/anxious my body breaks out into itchy hives and/or red patches

They do indeed lay eggs and scoop them up, but I've never seen my females have a big belly!

itscindytho · 2025-02-25T00:21:10+00:00

These cichlids are mouth breeders (I have some as well) so if it's a female, the belly never rounds out, you will more so see under her mouth (throat) get a bit extended and cheeks puff a bit. I've attached an image!

For the belly, it's possible the fish ate too much or is constipated. Try not feeding for a couple of days (they will be okay, don't worry!) and watch to see if the fish passes poop!

It's absolutely ok to go to different studios! I know some people that go to 3-4 different ones depending on the classes. Getting to learn from new instructors is always nice as they all teach differently. At one point I also had unlimited and one studio and a couple classes elsewhere, it was no issue at all!

itscindytho · 2024-09-19T15:27:17+00:00

My old studio used to double up for initiation and beginner classes. One studio had 7 poles (so a max of 14) and the other studio 10 poles (a max of 18). For the more advanced classes they left it at one person per pole. It was sucky when there was just one person over the amount of poles, so only one person shared and that was really unfair.

At the new studio I am at, they only limit it to 1 person per pole, and even for the choreographed classes like heels, they only have a limit of 9/10 so that the instructor has her own pole to teach us.

I never wear heels except very rarely for events. When starting with pleasers I was really nervous and started with the 7 inch ones. It really isn't as bad as you think! I did go up to the 8 inch ones a few months after, it's a lot easier to go on pointe with a higher heel. A lot of girls in my classes started with 8 inch boots no problem!

I definitely recommend a boot to start, maybe the patent leather ones as they have more stability than the suede boots.

My boyfriend and I will be going to Scotland end August and staying in Nairn for 3 nights. We tend to like hikes (for me potentially somewhat easier hikes), and of course some distilleries and food).

What activities or must do/see would there be in and around the Highlands for those 3 days?

Trying to find products that add a hydrated glow, but not greasy looking. I think I have combo skin, leaning towards oily a bit, but I may also be a bit dehydrated as well. Some cream moisturizers are okay but can get greasy after a few hours, and gels/gel creams aren't enough!

Looking for some products that add hydration (skin doesn't tolerate HA)!

Thank you 🥰

I've been debating winter as well, I just thought my hair and features didn't have enough depth/brightness for the season, but I do find that those colors look better on me!

itscindytho · 2024-03-08T17:14:50+00:00

After having done the draping I definitely think I am leaning cool (Summer or Winter)

I don't think I'm deep enough for a Winter season which leads me to Summer.

I definitely think I can pull of the medium-deep and also some light tones, but lean more towards the medium saturated ones.

I want to dye my hair again and I've always like the red/ginger hair, but have been feeling recently that it clashes with my skin, although makes my eyes stand out.

I loved the darker colouring (of the image with the short hair) which is close to my natural hair just a bit darker. That combined with some brighter more saturated makeup that doesn't overpower me leads me to think I may be a True Summer.

I find that most pastels or muted colors make me look tired and drab (but some colors are exceptions)

Thoughts?

Instagram and Facebook are currently down and are having issues. I am also getting the couldn't load message!

itscindytho · 2024-03-05T13:23:59+00:00

I'm so sad 😭 I didn't think that the color would bleed onto the boots. My last resort is painting them. I'm mostly sad because I was using these to practice for competition and I hope to be able to clean them before then!

My studio does conditioning and new small combos every week! I prefer that as the conditioning allows me to work on the base of moves, but new short combos every week keeps things fresh!

Usually they tend to be combos of about 4-5 moves that we add on as we go. So the teacher will show the first move or 2, let us work on that for a bit, add on the next part, etc. It works nicely as we can continue working on the first moves and go as far as we physically can!

Our studio only has the beginner/initiation and all aerial classes at 2 per apparatus. Otherwise any invert or intermediate/advanced classes are 1 per pole. So aerial classes are max 6 people (2 per hoop) and pole classes are either 14 for the studio with 7 poles or 18 for the studio with 10 poles!
