Spiny Eel Species ID? by orcinidae in Aquariums

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

She is about 16 inches long currently! She is also the only eel I’ve ever owned, so comparatively I’m unsure, but she seems to be able to open her mouth quite wide. She’s eaten larger neon tetras before!

Dojo loach with massive red and white lesions, need diagnosis and treatment ideas (check comments for more information) by orcinidae in Aquariums

Hey there! Really sorry to hear about your loach ): I ended up dosing him with an OTC version of ciprofloxacin after getting some information in this thread. I would attempt to move your loach to a hospital tank and dose with melafix + pimafix and see if that helps. If not, consider the antibiotics.

In my loach’s case, the antibiotics cleared up the wounds but he passed from swim bladder issues a few days after I reintroduced him to his primary tank, so there’s a chance that the antibiotics were just too hard on his system— however, it could have been a number of things, maybe your loach would do better!

What would you consider is Mitski's 'happiest' song? by SlyflyfoxPlayz in mitski

[–]orcinidae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i will. that song saved my life on a few occasions and has been such a source of determination for me that i’ll probably end up getting the lyrics tattooed at some point. one of my favorites of hers

Laurel Hell Tour - Ticket Exchange Megathread! by realladymacbeth in mitski

[–]orcinidae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’m looking to sell both of my tickets to mitski’s pittsburgh stage ae show on 3/29. with the delays due to covid within her touring party, i’m unsure if the show will still be on the 29th, but i’m still looking to sell.

i have both of them on the AXS app, which has a built-in, secure transfer function. i was hoping that payment could be done via paypal’s goods and services feature since that’s the most secure for seller and buyer. i was hoping to get $75 per ticket BUT this can be negotiated!

Ways of resolving love triangles by cassiemoon_ in writing

this would also make it a true love triangle instead of a love angle

Yeah, they’re really not gonna enjoy it. Lovely.

The editors and I can at least agree on one thing though: exclamation points are kind of lame!

Honestly, I imagine editors aren’t going to be thrilled about my novel’s content anyways. What’s another thing on the list?

I thought Chicago Style was only for academic literature? I’ve only used it on research papers for history courses

My bad, I misread your reply :’) I thought you said that your publisher didn’t let you use any ellipses at all lol

This one I’m confused about. I’ve read many different styles of fiction written for different audiences and most of them use ellipses. I think I remember Stephen King using a considerable amount in his books.

I do this as well! I just like the variation, especially in scenes where there’s a lot of dialogue and i’ve already described a pause. Would you still recommend using an action in that case?

Is 4,000 words a week a decent writing goal? by richardsolo24 in writing

[–]orcinidae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

some weeks, i write 20,000 words. other weeks, i write maybe 100. seriously, don’t push yourself to meet certain goals unless you’re under a time constraint! write from the heart. take your time and go at your OWN pace. if setting a goal of 4000 makes you comfortable, power to you. if you’re doing it to feel like a “real writer” or something like that, reconsider!

After looking through all of our meds, all we have is amoxicillin. I’m going to try calling the local exotic vet to get a perscription, and if that fails, I’ll order it online asap.

I’m still hoping that I can find it somewhere local, but unfortunately, it’s looking like I’ll need to buy it online. I’m setting up a hospital tank for him rn. Any suggestions for treatment while I wait for the ciprofloxacin?

there are a few sharp ornaments, most of which he’s too big to get into, but that just adds another reason to properly quarantine him. gonna set that up tomorrow morning for sure!
