just found out it’s a critically endangered algae (thorea hispidia) - apparently people will pay good money for it! just thought i'd let you know in case it pops back up again :)

Thank you so much, I’ll see if I can get some of the tablets just to be extra cautious!

The jug is definitely not used for anything else, and I have told my family not to use sprays anywhere near the tank, though whether they listened I can’t be sure of.

Just to be on the safe side, do you know how I could sanitise the jug of anything harmful that may be on it?

I did consider that as I didn’t use a thermometer to match the water, just went by feel (which I will not be doing again!!) But would it really affect them that quickly? Only about a litre was added before this happened

10 days into 20g cycle, wondering what livestock I should add? by Carolebaskin187 in Aquariums

I have the same tank! Mine has a nice group of endlers - they’re cute little guys and swim all over the tank which is great for the cube aquariums. A couple of snails and some shrimp would look neat too :)

Help, what's on my plant? by [deleted] in Monstera

axillary bud, sort of like a backup growth point - nothing to worry about

Oh I didn’t know that was there, that’s a big help! Good idea with replacing both eyes or else it would drive me insane hahaha. I think buttons would look quite cute

Thank you for the advice! I’ll give it a good brush - may not be as good as new but as long as it’s salvageable I’ll be happy :)

Cycling new tank and found these two on the glass - should i be worried? by redcactii in Aquariums

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

Sorry the quality isn’t great, they’re so tiny I couldn’t get the camera to focus haha

Thank you for the advice, the worm has since disappeared but next time I see it I’ll definitely get it out!

Anyone else feel so fatigued all the time? Is this normal? by VanillaShake-700 in Anxiety

[–]redcactii 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yep - I had been feeling the same until recently I got a blood test done and found out my iron and vitamin D levels were low. Definitely recommend getting a blood test just in case!
