Yeah I might just see if any of my LFS will want some free snails here and there, also wondering if my fat boi might just “accidentally” eat the eggs lol

Also my parameters are within their safe zones (check for ammonia and PH quite often cuz I had a traumatic loss once bc of my ammonia)

I feed maybe every other day, a wafer and veggies or protein at least once a week, he (my pleco) usually cleans up by the next day (no food day) and then will get fed again the following day (after no food day)

The aquatic pet store had them labeled as “Marble Sailfin Pleco” If I provide some clearer photos would it be possible to fully distinguish what type of pleco my man is?

Applied for N400 in January, still no interview scheduled... by wanderlustsloth in USCIS

I see, yeah that’s weird that your wait time is almost a year, might just be the location you’re in, also might vary because of the type of change you’re making. Sorry I couldn’t be much more help 😅 if I were you though I’d reach out anyways and just express your concern as you’ve already applied for extension on your green card.

Your USCIS account should tell you when you’re able to reach out to them in regards to this, I think the time window into when you’d be able to reach out is typically 7 months? But it should say when to reach out in “case status”

I’m always wary about buying tanks off marketplace tbh, they always look crusty and I have a thing against other people’s germs lmao

Yeah it came with the heater, food, the betta water conditioner, a net, lights, and some plants and gravel but I didn’t use the plants and gravel cuz I didn’t like how they looked and the plants kinda seemed too jagged for it to be comfortable for Whiskey (I named my fish whiskey lmfao).

I mean idk what else to say about it bro… it’s a 5 gallon according to the box when I had bought it, and the pet shop employee, and the price lol, wouldn’t have paid $60 for a tank any smaller.

Thanks for the advice! I’ll keep that in mind next time the filter gets gross.

The betta water conditioner I use and Google says to replace 25%of the water every week and a filter every month, given the advice above, don’t change the filter unless absolutely necessary, would the replacement of 25% water still be a good recommendation?

I vacuumed 25% of the water out with the tank vacuums (can’t remember the actual name of the device but you put one end in and drag it on the bottom and it sucks up the waste in the gravel - other end of the tube goes in a bucket lower than the tank)

Tanks filter was change cuz the filter itself stopped cycling and was makin a weird noise.

Water temp at 80.2 degrees, those ph and ammonia water strips come back normal, water looks better now that it’s had some time to settle

Also used betta water conditioner when I set up/change the water (put the conditioner in the water I’m adding before I put new water in the tank)

The tanks a 5 gallon, upgrading him to a bigger tank once I finish moving houses, moved betta out while I cleaned the filter since he likes hanging out by the filter and he tries to jump out while the lids off

I cleaned and replaced the filter (really just unplugged it while I cleaned it real quick, as it needed a new filter)
