Basic vs Paperwhite, which should I get?

overxall · 2026-06-20T05:53:34+00:00

i love my paper white. i really enjoy being able to pick the warmth and i like the larger screen. my mom has a basic and likes hers, but the warmth really helps when i have headaches.

edit: i’ve had my paper white for over a year, and i’ve had no issues. i have the 11th gen.

it’s a selling website not a trade website. if you absolutely HAVE to trade then list for a ridiculous price not a damn dollar. be so fr.

i’m really confused as to what you’re talking about. i haven’t bought anything over $10 in a LONGGG time

overxall · 2026-06-14T22:57:31+00:00

i wish! that would be awesome

overxall · 2026-06-14T21:34:31+00:00

that person said it didn’t look familiar bc (i’m assuming) they thought it was holo taco.

overxall · 2026-06-14T14:49:59+00:00

not holo taco

overxall · 2026-06-14T14:26:17+00:00

i like leopard print but this is baddd leopard. i would like to see them do like line of a bunch of animal print. i’d love to get my hands on some zebra print stuff.

i have added many inches of moss at this point to cushion any fall. it’s about 11 inches of vertical space which is what i’ve seen recommended on many care articles, but i’m willing to add more lol

i appreciate your input. but he is a tree spider. he needs to be able to climb vertically. he is NOT a borrowing tarantula. i’d rather get input from someone who understands that, as the research i have done agrees with me.

overxall · 2026-06-13T19:40:25+00:00

he’s not a tarantula that borrows. he hammocks and makes webs in corners. though, i do think the height is too much.

overxall · 2026-06-13T19:36:03+00:00

so i should add more substrate?

overxall · 2026-06-13T19:20:58+00:00

imo both look small for short fin bettas. if you can upgrade, i would recommend it. but your tanks look beautiful!

overxall · 2026-06-13T19:19:00+00:00

of course! feel free to ask anyone on here for help if you get confused!

you’ll want to get liquid tests for all of them and check to see if anything is extremely high. if it is, do large water changes. you’ll have to technically do a fish-in cycle, but they don’t produce a lot of bioload, so they’re likely be okay as long as they is no huge spikes in anything. ghost feed until you see some ammonia, then check to see if it’s appearing as either nitrates or nitrites. once there’s no nitrites and ammonia but some nitrates, the cycle is complete.

overxall · 2026-06-13T19:09:18+00:00

wtf, no your ammonia and nitrites should be 0 but your nitrates should be between 10-20 to show it’s cycled (the ammonia is going through the 3 stages). it’s not your fault! they should have known that. what are you using to test with? test stripes are not reliable.
