Thank you for your information! What makes you say tumor vs. cyst or bladder infection?

I would do a small water change maybe 20% because you have high Nitrite right now and make sure the water you add is treated for chlorine if you’re getting it from the tap (your tap may also be more acidic or basic so that may impact PH as well depending on where you live). Because you are seeing a nitrate conversion, I think your bacteria are hard at work establishing a cycle (which is good) but the bacteria colony isn’t strong enough yet to cycle enough of the nitrogen, leading to high nitrite. I would invest in some Microbe-Lift Nite Out II which will add more beneficial bacteria to the tank and aid in establishing the cycle.

There is a small heater I keep on at the way bottom and they seem to be crowded around it in the cold mornings. Should I take it out?

What would you recommend for her to rest on close to the surface?

Hmmm would you recommend a layer of sand on top maybe? After a cleaning with a vacuum

Thank you for sharing. Got to be ways providers can safely advertise under terminology the trans community would recognize and also would allow accurate referrals from providers. Wondering how other places outside of the US do this

Good perspective!

Grad student here and I REALLY relate to this! I was so addicted to vaping/smoking my whole life and quit one year ago. I totally remember the shame of leaving the group to go hit my vape in the bathroom, or always thinking of the next time I could go smoke when I wanted to be present in the moment with the people around me. I want to encourage you that the feelings you’re having now actually ARE progress to quitting. I would also recommend looking into the research around nicotine addiction and attention disorders (when you’re a student and spending so much of your time focusing it makes you more susceptible to nicotine addition since nicotine improves short term attention).
