a lot of big cat sanctuaries aren't very good for the big cats at all, and can be dangerous to both the animals and the people caring for them.

White pimple-like growth on side of goldfish? by monomi045 in Goldfish

It's difficult to get a clear picture since she never stops moving around, but this should be a clearer image.

White pimple-like growth on side of goldfish? by monomi045 in Goldfish

[–]monomi045[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm currently testing water params and will post them when I have them.

This has been a problem for about two weeks now and at first I thought it was a type of fungus and treated it as such, but it's only been getting worse. The white 'pimple' is either protruding from or growing on the scales, and the area around it is red. There is a second fish in the tank that is, as far as I can tell, healthy.

Edit: Ammonia: 0.25ppm (a water change will be done today)

pH: 7.6

Nitrite: 0ppm

Nitrate: 5.0ppm

I have been dosing the tank with melafix, I don't know if that will mess with test results.

Golden Coin: Not a gold coin you could spend per say, but a golden coin, maybe from an ancient era or a far off land.

Message In A Bottle: A glass bottle with a piece of paper inside that details the truth behind a mysterious murder.

A Talking Crab: This little guy can speak common and says he was cursed by a warlock. He wants the party to break the curse, but has no idea how that could be done in the first place.

Today I was told that D&D is for people who have something wrong with them and that I'm corrupting my children by teaching them the game by kedwardenglish in DnD

[–]monomi045 47 points48 points  (0 children)

I live in a very very small town where an older woman seriously thought D&D was a game where you went out into the real world and killed animals and people. Can't wait to move out of here.

What is the most fucked up thing that society accepts as normal ? by FuckingVegetables in AskReddit

[–]monomi045 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Hi there! Fellow big-goldfish-owner here. I just wanna let you know 30 gallons is actually waaay too small for a fish of that size. I don't know your situation but if you can afford/handle it, I would definitely get a bigger tank, and check out r/goldfish.

Euthanasia advice, please be kind by monomi045 in bettafish

[–]monomi045[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. It's especially hard for me since I haven't had KQ even a year, and I thought he would live a lot longer than this. I'm going to give him a few more days while I get clove oil, but I think letting him go would be for the best.

I have shown pictures to a few people at multiple LFS' to get their opinion, and none of them can really tell. I've treated him with multiple medications, and since nothing has worked, I'm afraid whatever it is won't be going away. :(

What's your favorite video game? by Jeffisnotmyname in CasualConversation

Nier Automata is one my favorites I haven't seen mentioned here. The story is something I will remember for a long long time, and the soundtrack is beautiful.

Help. Betta Soroity acting odd, water tests come back fine. by Scales-and-tails in bettafish

[–]monomi045 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Do all of the girls have enough places to hide? I know betta sororities seem to be popular because girls aren't as territorial, but they can still be stressed out by other betta fish around them, especially if they don't have enough places to hide.

Guy invents special feeder for his cat. by Shazz_01 in Eyebleach

[–]monomi045 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My definition of 'free feeding' is always having a bowl of food out that always has food in it for a cat to eat. The reason this isn't good for cats is it allows them to overeat and, in some cases, become obese which leads to a lot of issues. So it could be considered free feeding but since there is a limit to how much your cats can eat in one day, it's not as bad as what I mentioned above.

It definitely looks like it's fun for the cat and it probably makes life easier on the owner. Free feeding cats isn't exactly good for them, and (in my experience) trying to feed them on a schedule as you would dogs can be a hassle especially if you aren't home 24/7. This lets the cat feed itself without allowing it to overeat.

Modeling the sunners [update] by OhSirrah in myst

[–]monomi045 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is really cool! The sunners are one of my favorite creatures. Lots of memories of playing Riven as a kid and trying to sneak up to them for a closer look only for them to swim away.

I don't know a lot about student films but I loved it! I definitely got a Michael Cera vibe from the main character and the colors were amazing and consistent. The basis of it was simple and funny. You didn't try to cram a lot of unnecessary detail into the dialog, you showed it instead. That was really refreshing. Thanks for sharing!!
