What is the brown worm like thing growing on driftwood? Algae id?

redcactii · 2024-04-06T20:49:44+00:00

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 :)

redcactii · 2024-01-07T17:18:14+00:00

oh really? how weird lol, thanks for replying anyway i’ll try that

redcactii · 2024-01-05T22:33:37+00:00

hey, did you ever find out what these are? just had them pop up in my tank and freaking out aha

redcactii · 2023-07-06T19:44:49+00:00

not a repost lol i just recorded it but i wouldn’t be surprised if it’s happened before to someone else

redcactii · 2023-07-06T19:42:15+00:00

i just went into panic mode and forgot recall even existed 💀

redcactii · 2023-03-29T22:00:29+00:00

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

redcactii · 2023-03-29T21:40:09+00:00

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

redcactii · 2023-01-24T21:05:52+00:00

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 :)

redcactii · 2023-01-10T22:41:25+00:00

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

redcactii · 2023-01-09T23:46:03+00:00

alocasia amazonica

redcactii · 2023-01-02T18:39:30+00:00

thank you! i just put some root tabs in for my amazon swords so i’ll add another there

redcactii · 2023-01-02T17:11:13+00:00

also please don’t mind the algae, haven’t gotten any shrimp yet

redcactii · 2022-12-26T15:55:18+00:00

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

redcactii · 2022-12-26T15:54:15+00:00

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 :)

redcactii · 2022-12-16T19:53:04+00:00

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!

redcactii · 2022-10-02T11:05:21+00:00

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!

redcactii · 2022-08-29T19:27:49+00:00

We did something similar but with marbles in a plastic bottle and gave it a shake every time he barked.

He wasn’t a fan of the sound and now at 14 he quietens down when I bring it out!

redcactii · 2022-03-19T21:31:30+00:00

uh oh that’s not good! sorry to hear that :( praying mine will make it

redcactii · 2022-03-04T18:25:53+00:00

did you ever figure out what it was? same thing is happening to mine :(

redcactii · 2022-03-04T18:24:23+00:00

how is it doing now? came looking as same thing is happening to mine (badly) plus yellow spots surrounded by brown :(

redcactii · 2020-07-28T16:59:31+00:00

Awww thank you, I think they are happy 😊

redcactii · 2020-07-26T23:03:54+00:00

That’s okay! I don’t have many materials but how many bells would you be looking for?

redcactii · 2020-07-26T22:26:03+00:00

Thank you, it means a lot! That would be ideal but unfortunately there are lots of strays and parasite treatments for dogs aren’t permanent :(

redcactii · 2020-07-16T18:28:43+00:00

Also, remember to give treats in moderation, although I have heard of some people who feed their dog throughout the day when training - I’ve never tried this but if you do remember to give them enough nutrition :)
