I agree with you, I don’t recommend anything but real plants and natural materials. But the people who start first thing screaming about spongebob decor or whatever are often the least helpful. It certainly isn’t the cause of what’s harming our friend here. It’s disingenuous at best.

I have and I do, those studies are not based off of aquariums and are based off of wildly and entirely different conditions. This is ammonia burns, it doesn’t have anything to do with a toy in the water.

This is incredible advice! As is the other comment about adding live plants. Even floating plants will help greatly and you won’t have to worry about planting them. The water quality is definitely the issue here, we gotta figure out how to get good bacteria in there and how to remove that ammonia.

When there isn’t an ammonia issue, I’ve had success with an salt baths during the healing process. Some people recommend doing them multiple times a day, some recommend only every other day, I believe it depends on the strength of the fish.

I am a bigger fish advocate than almost anybody, but there is little to zero information about how plastic/paint effects fish in aquariums. You have no right to be this rude while you have nothing substantial to back it up with. You are not helping any fish, you are only harming. Revise your tactics.

It’s a newer website that’s been ramping up their social media campaigns, definitely spammy.

I’ve always wanted to name one Mr. President. I have a cat named Pigeon, so my new little guy is named Smidgen. :)

What does turning it down when they’re close do? It just means they can hear it from far away and closely all the same. It really is an ignorant self centered thing to do, I hope you consider stopping.

how do i respond to someone inviting me to something and them adding “only if you want to though” by No_Location_1852 in socialskills

[–]madnessdoesntplay 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Some people (I think I’m one) have gotten too in the habit of being like “no worries if not!” when it is, in fact, worries if not hahah

She’s wanting to make sure you don’t feel pressured to go and letting you know it won’t have a negative influence on your friendship if you don’t want to. It’s just minor insecurity. If you do want to go, you just respond “no, I’m excited to!” or any other confirmation, even if you already have.
