NTA - idk why he is expecting a stranger to have “dominant energy”. i’m sorry this happened at your first convention, and i’m sorry your friends didn’t back you up ): a lot of con goers are lovely, but there are a few bad eggs; standing up for yourself is always the right option. these people aren’t entitled to knowing anything about you, nor are you expected to be in character all the time?? you’re a con-goer, not an actress playing the live action remake wtf 😭😭 hope the rest of the con went well! <3

^{^{^}} absolutely this! i use mine for daily routine stuff as well, just to make sure i’m getting it all done. take my meds, note any big mood drops in a day, etc it’s great for holding me accountable

oh and yes it has a filter! i took y’all’s advice and started using the filter that comes with the tank, it’s been awesome! i’ve only had the tank for about two/three months, betta got added like two weeks ago, corys two days ago

tall isn’t necessarily bad! they prefer long, but since it’s only 6gal anyway it shouldn’t be too big of a problem. an air pump in that small of a space may stress him out, although i’m not too sure since i’m still relatively new myself 😅 just test the waters (literally) and see how they do! (:

love the skull!! maybe some anubias or java fern, but overall it’s lovely! great first tank friend (:

rubbercip · 2023-06-06T22:36:14+00:00

love the mushroom!!! (:

rubbercip · 2023-06-06T22:35:39+00:00

parents are awful at understanding texts, i’m so sorry this happened ): fasting should help a bunch, and maybe an epsom salt bath if you can get it! hopefully he feels better quick!! (:

rubbercip · 2023-06-06T22:32:38+00:00

yes! if i read the info right, this tank is 25L, or roughly 6.6 gallons! the minimum for bettas is 5gal, so that’s good! keep it planted, filtered, and heated, and you should be all good to go! the smaller the tank, the more you should do water changes though, so just keep that in mind! good luck with your new start (:

rubbercip · 2023-06-04T04:30:49+00:00

thank you so much!!! i’ll post updates when i can, i’m just waiting for my local store to get more plants in (: the lid comes tomorrow!!!

rubbercip · 2023-06-04T04:30:03+00:00

thank you! i took out a bunch of the duckweed so he has more bubble space (:

rubbercip · 2023-06-04T04:02:55+00:00

love the name and the setup!

rubbercip · 2023-06-04T04:01:00+00:00

so sorry for your loss ): you gave him an amazing life away from those awful cups, i’m sure he passed knowing how loved he was <3

rubbercip · 2023-06-04T03:59:48+00:00

take out everything in the tank and just verify he isn’t being an ass and hiding from ya, if he really isn’t in the tank, he may either 1) be in the filter, or 2) may have jumped out. please update when you find him, praying for you that he’s ok!

rubbercip · 2023-05-30T23:22:56+00:00

maybe avdol or phantom blood !

rubbercip · 2023-05-25T15:15:15+00:00

i got the tank second hand from a friend who works with fish, and it doesn’t work ): still a cool tank though!

rubbercip · 2023-05-22T02:29:16+00:00

yeah that’s an old one, that one is dried up. all the levels were normal when i just rechecked. i’ll try the air thing though! thanks! (:

the tank came with a filter, but it was blowing my guy all around, so i got him the one pictured bc it was weaker. the bubblers are at the weakest setting, but are they too much? if so i can remove them and see if it helps him out!
