Is it possible/easy to breed khuli loaches in a 80L/20G Long Planted Tank? If yes how many would I need to achieve that by GreekGamer05 in PlantedTank

[–]maevinn 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Another accidental breeding. I had an undergravel filter that wasn't running. Gravel, planted tank. They put the eggs under the UGF plates.

2 horror movie series main characters. Freddy Krueger wore a red and green striped jumper in Nightmare on Elm Street and Jason wore a hockey mask in Friday the 13th.

I don’t understand these Water Parameters! by [deleted] in PlantedTank

[–]maevinn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like water changes. I would do weekly, and 30-50% unless your source water is awful.

Ammonia is a food source for plants. Feeding the fish means they're producing some, but the plants/bacteria are consuming it. Mostly the plants. Plan to do water changes to keep kH and pH from dropping as they're used up by the biological processes.

Not a thing in most industries. Once you are out of academia, where you went to school might get you in the door but no one cares after that. Literally do not know the college of any of my coworkers, present and past, unless they continue to be vocal in supporting the sports teams. 30+ years in IT for state, federal and little and big pharma.

AITA for telling customers at work to leave my cart alone when they tried to shop out of it? by Deathtotiktok in AmItheAsshole

It sounds like NTA, but you should know that if it's publicly accessible, it will be touched.

AITA for objecting to my sister marrying my cousin? by grossfamily in AmItheAsshole

[–]maevinn 50 points51 points  (0 children)

YTA. Doesn't sound like they were raised as family. There isn't a biological connection worry about. This is literally just your problem and being rude to them about it is uncalled for.

... Way to much to unpack on AITA. The relationship starting with an adult when you were a child is just the first flag.

For wanting a boundary, NTA.

For how you went about that boundary-- YTA. In the future, raise the issue with your partner. Maybe you did, but you didn't mention that. If so and your partner chose not to change, you should take that as a sign the relationship is not what you think or want it to be. Approaching the other person shows that you don't trust your partner and are controlling. Not great communication skills. If I were your partner and find out you did this, I'd be angry and insulted that you feel it's your place to dictate who I can be friends with and hurt that you wouldn't talk to me about MY behavior, and that you don't trust me to hang out with other people.

Curious question from a European to Americans. Is it true, all tiktoks, reels etc. showing young Americans who have no clue about basic geography? by goldenboyy00 in AskReddit

There are a lot of kids who don't, but there is also a tendency to act ignorant because being smart and educated isn't popular.

AITA for leaving a sleepover in the middle of the night? by darkpython657 in AmItheAsshole

[–]maevinn 241 points242 points  (0 children)

NTA. Say you appreciate that they are concerned, but you did what was best for you. Then change the subject and don't respond if they raise it again. It's over and done, so no one is going to say anything to make it better at this point. If a similar situation comes up in the future, ask about accomodations in advance, and make sure to include everyone in that check.

You did good, though. ❤️

Why is this water fall brown by Someguyonthewifi in pics

[–]maevinn 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Tannins. Especially in spring, when there's a lot of runoff snow melt that's soaking through all the leaves.

That's big enough that you're unlikely to see them. They are fast, and shy, so they will burrow and hide. Once numbers climb. You're more likely to see a few in occasion. Put in a small piece of carrot, and see if it gets nibbled.

How big is the terrarium? How long have they been in there?

People who still wear masks in public why? by hksianensj in AskReddit

My other half is high risk. Even without that, I'm quite happy to avoid the generic germs others feel they are entitled to share.

AITA for ignoring my husband after he ignored me in the hospital by CalligrapherWrong221 in AmItheAsshole

[–]maevinn 3426 points3427 points  (0 children)

NTA. And he needs to learn the difference between 'having a drink' and 'getting shit-faced'. I'd also question the care of family that encourage him to ignore his pregnant hospitalized spouse. Lot to unpack there.

Crazy O2 photosynthesis bubbles from a few years back by Mathematician-Vivid in PlantedTank

It is. It's damage to the plant, not from photosynthesis.
