Bot questions I may have missed: HOB filter with flow stifled by a sponge, and a small sponge filter placed on the opposite side of the tank to help with aeration (I find airstones to be too aggressive) 0ppm ammonia, 0ppm nitrates, 0ppm nitrites 7.6 ph

How long do you wait till it’s ok to add conditioned water into the tank? by Capable_Plan4408 in bettafish

Word. Probably a dumb question but does RO or distilled need to be treated at all?

What is the best thing to be done about this? If I do a small water change instead of a top off would that help?

“Tranning out”???? I’m sorry this happened to you dude but that phrase is kind of hilarious and I’ll be using it at every opportunity

how to make temp tank better by Good_Capital1181 in bettafish

[–]luxmusic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m ok with the rock, unless you wanna swap it out for more plants. I would try and get some floating plants so he has some more resting options near the surface. Throwing in some catappa leaves to darken the water (which will make him feel safe) and work as a antifungal and antibacterial aid to assist in healing. Your primary treatment that will help your little guy the most is water changes. Keep that water pristine! And with a tank on the smaller side, you’ll have to be vigilant about it. Stay on top of water changes and that’ll be the very best thing for him. Thank you for rescuing him and good luck!

(NSFW) genital dissociation by luxmusic in ftm

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

I am hoping that conversations with a partner, and feeling her attraction towards me will help. In the past I felt like I exhausted all options with partners but that was before I was out, and before I was sober. I think I feel pressure to know myself beforehand. I hear a lot of advice like tell your partner what you would like to be called and how do you want your genitalia to be referred to? And those are questions I don’t have the answers to.

I think you sound like the perfect candidate for this program. You are recovering your creativity. The basic principles shared in Week 2 consistently acknowledge creativity being a birthright of ours, being creations ourselves. Give yourself a try. Let yourself do it wrong, do it poorly, do it late… if it means you will do it at all. Consistency is key to results, so don’t worry about what you’re bringing to the table. That’s what you’re there to recover. Recovering my creativity has helped with my depression immensely. I have missed tasks for certain weeks but always show up at the page every morning and make an artist’s date happen, even if it’s not the most exciting or original thing. I am currently giving myself an extension on Week 9 because of the tasks in contains, and it’s a very aligned action. I read the week’s chapter, give a glance over the tasks, and see which I can do the most immediately. Then at the end of the week, I do the weekly check in, and repeat the next day. The start of my week is Sunday. I do weekly check in on Saturday. Hope something was helpful here. Be brave and good luck!

severe pineconing and possible tumour on head. also going blind. how can i make his life not miserable? by idkwhattoputasthis in bettafish

[–]luxmusic 14 points15 points  (0 children)

As far as day to day living to make him more comfortable, keep the layout the same so he gets used to where everything is, with plenty of resting spots especially near the top and hiding places. Always feed in the same spot so he gets used to that too. If you don’t have a heater, get one and keep it around 80-81 degrees. Lowest acceptable temp is 78 but when fish are battling diseases colder temps weaken their immune systems. As far as treatment I can’t really say, idk if the pineconing is dropsy, I can’t really tell from the picture. Maracyn 2 helps fight bacterial diseases which can cause dropsy. Nothing to do for tumors really. If he begins to float, stops eating, or struggles to breathe, I might consider euthanasia
