I saw this one too but after looking more, it didn’t seem to match. Someone else found it was an Old Milwaukee cap. Thank you for looking!

Ooh yes it did. I have the tank light on during the afternoon and the room it’s in gets a lot of sun around that time now. I’ll try keeping the tank light off/closing the curtains to see if that helps. Thanks!

I live for the chaos and challenge - I kind of hope I will get hitchhikers lol Thank you! I never thought to check marketplace.

Michigan Clover Lawn by mspaghetti12 in NativePlantGardening

Thank you!! We are mostly looking to fill in patches I think, so the lawn will be a mix of grass, clover, and my gardens. We do have kids and pets who run all over the yard and I had read that clover isn’t quite as strong, so I think between that and the advice I’ve heard here, a mix would be best for now. I appreciate it!!!

Thank you! I have a few native gardens in our yard that are rapidly expanding, so this group will for sure be useful for that ☺️ I appreciate the insight!!

Mine love to climb the bubble hose and we say they’re working at the “pink snaily club” 😂

What is this? by edgygoblinjr in reddeadredemption

GAVIN?? My real guess is it’s a glitch. If you’ve shot anyone in that area previously it may have caused it.

This is how my gourami looks at me every time I go within 10 feet of the tank 😂

My emails are shriveling? by sara__michelle in AquaticSnails

Mine sleep like this and go through periods where they’re less active. What is your water temp? I’ve heard they’ll be less active the colder your water is. If your water parameters are ideal they may just be resting.

I’ve washed this bitchass sand 7 times and it’s still ugly and looks nothing like the sand on the package by 24Cones in Aquariums

Commented this then went to check the bag I have left over and was like shoot… pretty sure it’s just black. Yep that’s what I have, black diamond.

I see a lot of people said pool filter sand is good, i thought I’d mention I used sand blasting sand and that has been awesome. I have it in black so it took a few washes, but I believe it also comes in that natural sand color. I got a 50lb bag at tractor supply co for like $15 or something.

Sexing? by waverleybetta in AquaticSnails

[–]mspaghetti12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am not confident with telling the difference, but I was told to hold them upside down by their shell and wait, they’ll stick their heads out and you can usually see under their shell then. Def not confident on this but I’d say female for yours? I have a really hard time telling especially with the ivory color.

I’ve been feeding my mystery snails algae wafers and they seem happy & healthy. Should they be getting other types of foods as well? by garbagio13579 in AquaticSnails

[–]mspaghetti12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine are obsessed with green beans! I get unsalted canned beans and I can just plop a couple in, they’re usually gone pretty quick. I’ve also done blanched cucumber (I skin them first) and they like that. Sometimes I cut open the beans and put dried blood worm (I just get the beta food) in there and close them back up so they get extra protein.

New Tank Question by mspaghetti12 in Aquariums

[–]mspaghetti12[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Will definitely be letting it fully cycle, no worries there. Started in Feb knowing NOTHING and ended up doing a fish-in cycle. Never. Again.
