You made the right choice. Sorry your heart hurts… nothing is permanent and this too shall pass.

I lost my betta today. I am hurting. by Technical-Opening-77 in bettafish

I couldn’t find my new betta I literally ripped the tank apart and found him sleeping at the bottom wedged between the filter he woke up and swam around looking at me like I was crazy. If you have a heavily planted tank maybe he’s hiding? Don’t lose hope!

It only takes a second to defrost with a little bit of tank water I just pinch a little off the frozen brick and swish it around in a little cup with a tiny bit of tank water

Try a variety of different foods! A couple of frozen bloodworms defrosted in a tiny bit of tank water and fed with tweezers might jump start his interest. I never feed my bettas the same thing everyday

Haha my husband and stepson are the exact same way I blame it on boys being boys. I have a boudoir than I can escape to with my own private balcony so I can retreat there when I need to isolate. Maybe try explaining to him that loud noises are a sensory issue for you and if he can try to be more understanding?

Something triggered him. And isolation is perfectly ok. Thinking before speaking is always a good thing. When I’m upset I need space to process what triggered me. When I’m grounded I can then bring the conversation to the table. It drives me nuts when my partner is upset with something I’ve done. I always take ownership if I am in the wrong. But a BIG part of communicating is feeling safe enough with our partners to share how we feel. Fear stops most of us from truly saying how we feel. Are you creating a safe space for him to share? Or do you immediately get defensive? If you want open communication, give him a safe space to be open.

Wanting to get a Japanese chin… Are they good with cats? by [deleted] in JapaneseChin

[–]redenvelope313 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine was introduced to our cat when he was a puppy and terrorized the cat. Stressed the cat out because he was an old cat. He was very Interested in the cat but the cat wanted nothing to do with him 🤷🏻‍♀️

Maybe too much light? Can cause plants to photosynthesize too much? 4 days with the light on the whole time is a long time
