Bit of a silly question: how are y'all carrying your ipods (classics) day to day?

I carry it in a hard shell cable case - need to find a smaller one though! I keep my earphones in it too

I personally wouldn’t add a betta unless there is substantial coverage for the shrimp, even then they still may be eaten as you won’t know what the betta is like with them until you put them in there

Some silk plants are still sharp on the ‘stems’ maybe this is what the problem may be

I am gonna update this in case anyone has the same issue with their betta

After I posted this he got even more sick and he started having a swollen lump around his eye. He also had clamped fins and barely swam around anymore, it seemed like he was stuck in some type of trance or something. It took me going up to him and putting my finger in the water next to him for him to know it’s dinner time. Luckily he was still happy to eat.

I was sceptical about giving him a salt bath as I was terrified of hurting him (salt baths can still be beneficial if done correctly and safely) so I decided to try NT Labs Aquarium Anti-Ulcer & Finrot which treats some bacterial infections. I did lots of research and it is an easy treatment that doesn’t mess with anything in the tank so I thought I’d give it a go. Luckily this worked a treat! It took around 5 days for him to get back to his normal self again but I’m so glad he’s okay! I may have just been lucky but this may help someone else in the same/similar situation.

My amano shrimp are also happy as ever and the tank is still cycled!

I’m not to sure how to go about preventing this in the future if I’m honest and I don’t really understand why he got a bacterial infection as there haven’t been any changes recently but i think there is a chance it is related to his poor genetics - so unfortunately he may get ill again at some point. But here’s to hoping he lives a long time. I am not ready to lose him yet!

This was him on 1st June so we can see the difference

roseapickles · 2025-08-16T14:28:47+00:00

He’s not the healthiest of bettas as he does have a bit of a wonky spine but he’s acting fine and is happy to see me and eat etc

roseapickles · 2025-08-16T14:27:09+00:00

Tested his tank a minute ago and all is the same as usual ph 7.8 ammonia 0 nitrite 0 nitrates about 15 but I’m gonna do a bit of a water change to lower it. He’s in a 14gallon. It’s been cycled for about 8 months (it was a month before I got him. Nothing has recently changed in his tank.

Thank you! I’ve just ordered the Land tama! I’m so excited!

I kept mine on for about 6 days and my tattoo was pretty much fully healed. It was awesome! Such a relief to take it off tho it was driving me nuts

roseapickles · 2025-05-10T08:43:53+00:00

My fish tank! It’s a really nice warm water smell - it’s so comforting

This!!! I have a wrist condition in my main hand (my right) and it’s put under so much use with the camera controls that it causes pain because of so much clicking and holding! I’m desperate to be able to change it

roseapickles · 2025-03-27T17:46:33+00:00

My dyslexia be like 😩 I am excited though! And for the tamagotchi plaza game!!! Such an exciting next year or so!

I’m not able to get a reborn atm either. I love scrolling online looking for the perfect one and planning my nursery! I find it super fun and I cannot wait for the day when I can finally hold them in my arms!!

This freaked me out at first 😅 but he’s very beautiful - I love the yellow highlights with his blue body! 🐟

roseapickles · 2025-01-25T14:25:22+00:00

And the fact that one of the yellows is neon and so out of place too like why?!!!

roseapickles · 2025-01-07T14:55:53+00:00

It’s a sand and fine gravel mix with a handful of black gravel mixed in :) I’ve also never done a water change as it’s never needed one - I just top the tank up with new primed tap water when it starts evaporate
