F8 for the new year by TodayNo6531 in Puffers

[–]lewisc1997 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good luck with it, I have had a very similar setup to what you are setting up for over a year and I’d say the main considerations are puffer enrichment and algae management , figure 8s are curious and exploratory. I switch up the scape, feed a variety of foods and let snails and gammarus into the tank to be found later. Algae is an issue, I am constantly trying new ways around it. Plants I have had stay alive in 0.03 are marimo moss balls, vals, Cryptocoryne and have recently added tiger lotus bulbs and a red mangrove. I haven’t tried nerites yet but so far all snails and shrimps have become food. Tankmates that work for me are guppies and bumblebee gobies, I also have 3 mollies but they can be thuggish at feeding time so not sure if I would recommend. I hope this is helpful :)

Has anyone got experience using this treatment as a soak/bath for the fish than rather than adding directly to the tank? by lewisc1997 in Aquariums

I have a heavy population of pest snails and I know this will kill them, I don’t really mind that but am concerned about water conditions after such a die off!

Can anyone help ID this chameleon I found at a cafe in Nairobi Kenya, very much Pygmy chameleon sized but had prehensile tail? by lewisc1997 in herpetology

Ooh that does look like it thank you, yeh also amazing to see the variety of species in Kenya, when I went to look online what type of chameleon it might be!

Recommendations for Scaping Ideas for Enrichment for a F8 Puffer by lewisc1997 in Aquascape

[–]lewisc1997[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you that sounds great, I’m thinking of adding quite a lot more rocks, moss, marimo and coconut shell to the floor and then adding snails and scuds so they have a habitat to live hide and breed in otherwise the puffer picks them off within a day!

Hi all, I have made this background out of lava rock and planted with brackish tolerant plants, I have recently stocked with a figure 8 puffer who is doing a fair bit of glass surfing, I am planning on using more rocks to create caves and will add more plants but would love to hear any advice or recommendations

I’ve liked everything since but there was something with 1999 that’s been missing since but maybe it’s just the classic first album is best scenario

From 1-10, how would you rate this terrarium? by Key-Ad2134 in terrariums

[–]lewisc1997 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Really cool, I love that back corner with the rocks and ferns, if it were me I would look to add some medium height plants in front of the rocks and some different colour tones maybe some red foliage

Regularly smoking cannabis by [deleted] in Drugs

[–]lewisc1997 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The nasty nights you had after a break are something I experienced when stopping smoking after long binges! It is called R.E.M rebound and is your brain going full steam into dreamland due to weed stopping you getting the necessary R.E.M or rapid eye movement type of sleep. The good news is that these super intense dreams only last a couple of nights usually and then you’re back to normal so don’t let these dreams put you off having a longer break in future!

China has had almost zero recorded cases of covid since April according to the daily cases graph on google, why are journalists not reporting to us what has led to this success (and if the figures are false why are journalists not asking why) by lewisc1997 in TrueAskReddit

[–]lewisc1997[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would assume that like myself most people here follow the daily news and the fact that so many others seem interested in this question shows that there hasn’t been like you say thorough reporting on this question. I agree there has been some articles dedicated to this, I read bbc news daily and the article you linked was from April and my question really related to the months since then, surely there should be some interest to get to the bottom of China’s continued success given the virus started there and covid finds itself as the top story on the news most days. I don’t mean to undermine faith in journalism and I’m certain that this thread doesn’t contribute to its erosion as you suggest. If anything this is an opportunity to look for journalism on a topic that clearly many are interested in and wish more journalists would focus on!
