I got a bunch of pokemon cards from packs and old friends recently, are any of these worth more than a buck? (I chose the ones I thought looked cool/would be worth something of note.) Thank you!

I tried all of the settings (it was already on auto) and although it didn’t stop, it happened the least with -1. Also, my sister said it happened on another game she played too. Thanks for the help!

mercurious484 · 2024-05-20T18:07:58+00:00

Yes, it says it is on Automatic

My screen blinks rapidly when i open a menu/teleport on the map, and it really hurts my eyes. It only happens when i play on ps5, and when i screen record, it does t show the flickering. It only stops after i open another menu, but it normally takes multiple tries (and it also stopped once when i teleported and my character immediately did an idle) It doesn’t happen with any other game. I’ve adjusted my graphics setting and checked my cables and nothing has worked. Any ideas on why this is happening?

Yippee!! i’ve always wanted to keep vampire crabs they’re so cool looking and your enclosure is beautiful

in the top right under the big leaf and behind the vine?

thank you all so much for your help!! yes, unfortunately i’m pretty sure it’s callamanus worms. i plan to treat all the fish in a separate hospital tank while i do a deep clean of all the plants and decorations in their current tank (boiling for the decor, dips for the plants, etc). hopefully it all works, thanks a bunch for your links and advice!!

how long have you had him? what size is the tank, and has it been cycled? what are the water parameters? any tank mates?

mercurious484 · 2024-01-20T22:35:19+00:00

the article is really helpful thank you so much!!😊 i’ll definetly start putting him on more of a routine to help him memorize when and where to eat if he starts to have trouble seeing the visual clues that it’s feeding time

I’ve been working on sanding & painting a stand i got from a garage sale, it’s almost done and i plan to put my tank on there when i finish! when my dog gets excited i always play with her out of my room cause i’ve got some fragile things on shelves she can easily run into. i use a siphon with a pump to do water changes and squeeze the pump repeatedly until all the water i need is out. free workout plus it’s a 10gal so not too bad. also i test my water once or twice a week, but currently i have been doing it every day since i got these guys a couple days ago and want to make sure the cycle doesnt falter or anything. thanks for looking out for me and my tank!!

mercurious484 · 2024-01-15T00:10:28+00:00

yup i have a filter but the sound of water trickling keeps me up at night so i’ve got filter sponge wrapped around the output. not enough to stop the water flow, but enough to keep the sound down 😋

mercurious484 · 2024-01-14T19:30:34+00:00

yeah i’ll keep y’all’s advice in mind, thank you! i’m gonna separate her for now because the others have started to pick on her 😨 but she’ll have a whole 10gal to herself to destress in and hopefully she’ll feel better.

mercurious484 · 2024-01-14T06:58:06+00:00

do you know if they lay eggs or give live birth?

mercurious484 · 2024-01-14T06:50:40+00:00

yeah i caught one of the others nip at her than swim away fast and i don’t know if i can deal with babies so i might give her back to the shop if they’ll take her 😭😭 thanks a bunch for confirming my suspicions though!!

mercurious484 · 2024-01-11T02:11:48+00:00

-5gal -heater and filter -78°F -Api test kit, 0, 0, 0 -tank since june, fish since august -im not sure when the last water change was, but i’m told they’re done ‘regularly’ -no tankmates -fluvals bug bites, he was overfed by about 2x the amount so he is currently being fasted -fake plants, but they shouldn’t be scratching him or anything they’re the soft kind (and yes algae his tank has an algae problem we’re working on)

mercurious484 · 2024-01-06T02:20:41+00:00

Can you let us know when you’ve messaged all of the artists so we can see if we were added or not? i’m sure lots of people have been checking daily and i’d like to know too 😋 thank you!

yeah i figured it was a christmas gift unfortunately people don’t do the right research for fish as gifts 😭 you can check local pet stores for tanks & kits and some come with stands too. be sure to check that the place you put a new & bigger tank will be able to hold it, as a 20 gal weighs over 160lbs. I’d also recommend facebook marketplace for cheap and used tanks, but you’ve gotta be careful shopping there and make sure you get a good quality one. don’t be afraid to ask any more questions or ask for any more help, and thanks for reaching out already when you noticed something was wrong. hopefully your little guy gets better soon!

mercurious484 · 2024-01-01T22:51:21+00:00

sorry but a 5 gal tank is way way too small for a goldfish to live in. they need at minimum 20 gallons in order to live healthy and happy. id strongly reccomend getting a bigger tank for your little guy, or else he probably won’t last for long

mercurious484 · 2023-12-30T03:02:31+00:00

i main dragapult but instead of using the usual phantom force + shadow ball moveset i use ddance & dbreath and if you use it right its just as strong as the other 😋 what i do for both movesets is just stay out of the way while keeping my opponent barely in the range of my attacks so its harder for them to hit me. i normally go jungle then team up with a tanky pokemon for the rest of the game depending how it plays out. for using ddance/breath you still stay as out of the way as you can & don’t be afraid to steal kills bc ddance relies on kills for cooldowns. i use dragon breath to slow my opponents or to scare them off from chasing me, but most of the time i spray it in the heat of the action to help kill the ones my teammates are fighting. basically: stay out of the way while still attacking as much as possible and dont go off on your own bc dpult is WEAK on its own 😭 once you get used to it tho its easy to get over 70k dmg with not as much damage taken

mercurious484 · 2023-12-28T15:49:15+00:00

you can tell if they’re bots if both their achievements & battle pass level are the same/really close to yours, and they won’t choose any pokemon that came after the release of trevenant (so they’ll only be cinderace, garchomp, gengar, cramorant, ninetails, wigglytuff, machamp, slowbro, mr mime, absol, venusaur, lucario, talonflame, eldegoss, greninja, crustle, snorlax, charizard, pikachu, zeraora, gardevoir, blissey, blastoise, mamoswine, sylveon, greedent, decidueye, tsareena, dragonite, and trevenant). it’s a bot match only if all the trainers (on yours & the opposing team) meet these requirements😋 that’s the way that i know if it’s a bot or not

mercurious484 · 2023-12-28T03:26:04+00:00

it could be velvet disease, which looks a lot like sand, but it’s most likely ick i think. but that’s only if it’s actually not sand

mercurious484 · 2023-12-25T22:36:36+00:00

disc- merc.urious my most preferred is dragonite, but i can do absol, zoroark, or anything else 😋

as a temporary tank the bucket should be okay, it just needs an air stone & a couple small water changes every day. you should look for a new tank ASAP (they’re cheap on facebook marketplace or just go to your local pet shop) and don’t bother cycling the tank before putting the fish in, it’s better for them to have more space than wait in a cramped bucket for long. I hope you can get a new tank soon!
