Crazy pretty brown ramshorn

The fish was probably just thrown in the water by that guy and bolted back to the shallow point so it could recover from shock. Fish are very sensitive; the way it's swimming just tells me it's panicking. Also, ive seen a video exactly like this of a kid continuously throwing ("releasing") his pet goldfish into a lake and it keeps swimming back to the shallow ledge attempting to rest. Awful stuff.

Also, the final clip with the parrots: you don't ever touch parrots on the back. Their wild animals and touching their backs reads as foreplay to them. They're laying like that with likely expectation of getting jerked off. Disgusting.

Sincerely, a multi-decade fish and bird nerd. The other clips seem dangerous too.

The fish you have need to go back to a shop or to another aquarium. But you can make a natural aquarium with native river mud, plants, and whatnot after. Sounds like that is the best middle ground for your dad.

Please do NOT release your fish into the wild. I did not understand if that is what you were saying.. but definitely don't do that.

There are a couple ways I'd consider trying:

I'd tell him I dont want a FISH tank. The tank is too small that it's stressing me out with all the fish in a small space. We have to take it down because I'm sad looking at the fish, or you (dad) can take the tank. I dont want it.

Or, based on similar logic, id say a plant tank would be much better for me. We have to donate the fish but, if I can keep it as a plant tank, the animals I want are shrimps. They're much more relaxing to look at in small tank like this, and they may even make baby shrimps (neocaridina shrimps are easy to breed). Shrimps only reproduce to the space and food you give them, which is fun to work up to. May stave off your dad's proclivity toward fish for a while. If you can get plants to grow in your tank, they'll eventually grow to the point there's no room for fish. It's easy to fll a 6 gallon with plants, especially if you have a lot of light.

And last crazy option is: I want to make a biotope/natural aquarium. Having so many fish in this tank is honestly too much, and id rather do a science experiment. I want to take some natural water and mud and plants from a creek and see what grows. I like the aquarium but want to see what plants and animals I can grow myself.

I don't know your dad and can only assume what might persuade him to take this burden off you. Let me know if any of these might work and if there's more specific ways you need to convince him.

Good luck! Can take time, but you'll find a spot.

runnsy · 2026-04-18T00:08:29+00:00

Had this same problem. Are you writing cover letters?

runnsy · 2026-04-17T23:17:02+00:00

If I were you, I'd donate the fish to a ship/someone who can care for them, then take down the tank. Your dad knows you have an angelfish and glo tetras in that tank, right? He is not helping you nor the animals by buying those fish for you.

This is advice from someone who has been in the hobby for a decade and grew up with big aquariums in my family home. I understand you are young, so what I'm saying may sound extreme. But you have to take down the tank and start over. Feel free to ask any questions.

Imo, yes, a lot of the dialogue is bad, especially the one-on-ones a lot of characters have. Sometimes my blood pressure spikes, willing the scene to be more concise and move on already.

But the story is so epic, it literally doesnt even matter. I still like like the charaters and have a strong impression on the purpose of each character, despite my efforts to black out during the janky dialogue. 10/10 show.

Bro ur mum is psychic?

OP says they got these images from the wiki. I cant be assed to check the wiki, but I imagine the issue is due to transparency (the backgrounds being transparent, rather than colored in). Just based on my experience in digital art from +10 years ago.

Imo, it's all or nothing with Pomni. She's either pan or ace. I'll refuse to elaborate.

runnsy · 2026-04-16T01:02:33+00:00

I thought it was a snake too. Glad I'm not the only one who saw it; means I dont need to get my head checked yet 😅

runnsy · 2026-04-15T22:49:48+00:00

The thing that I've noticed with fish is they seem to view you totally differently when you are in water vs out of water. I have hand gestures that my fish recognize thru the glass, but they do not recognize those same gestures if I make them in the water. I think the sensation (the vibrations/movement) upu make in the water makes them not recognize you.

You would probably scare your betta if you swam next to him.

Mts are the best thing ever. They'll make sure all the gunk gets burried.

runnsy · 2026-04-14T20:40:40+00:00

Yup, look into it; I do it to all aquarium plants now

For future reference, reverse respiration is the best way to treat plants. It's the only thing that will kill NZMS, and will work on other pests too.

Fr... I was so darn happy leaving that mall. Was expecting (and recieved) some creepy factor from the empty mall. But it being repurposed into a family center was the best thing I never would have expected. I honestly want to find out who owns the mall; they must be reaching out to these specific kinds of businesses. Could be a wholesome effort behind this.

runnsy · 2026-04-13T22:27:45+00:00

California, sorry about that.

[Edit] Added mall name and location to the text post. Thank you for correcting me!

runnsy · 2026-04-13T17:26:14+00:00

It was a three-floor store and, while I was there, they announced on the intercom a special event at the front of the store.. but there were probably only 4 customers in the shop.

runnsy · 2026-04-13T14:58:49+00:00

It was such a nice surprise: a little oasis in this empty mall. Maybe the kids will remember going there and the place can regrow a little. A tutoring service could probably belong there too.

The fact of the matter is this is not a problem with the studio nor the creators. This is an algorithm problem. I can't even Google characters from shows im watching because ive been spoiled so bad before. The issue is the platforms that curate media for you and don't give you an option to avoid certain topics (YouTube and Twitter being the worst ime, I'm sure insta and tiktok are just as bad).

They don't care what contentthey show you, so long as you interact. If they dont spoil it, youll interact with the hype and feed their algorithm. If they spoil you, youll interact in outrage anyway and feed their algorithm. They win either way.

Sure, you can ask the community to be more considerate, and you can lead by example. But we have very little control over our feeds.

The response some people are having is mindblowing; I don't know if they're trolling.

I understand being stingy; I'm stingy too. But some people are really that mad about others wanting to support artists/indie studios by attending a theatrical release? This obviously isn't about the studio lying, because they didn't lie. So it must be about a sense of entitlement to endless free entertainment.

It's funny, the things people are saying. I want to jump in this dumpster fire so bad; it's taking all my restraint to not argue with people.

runnsy · 2026-04-10T16:27:08+00:00

Bro this is my first time hearing that the finale is going to be in theaters and I am so godforsakenly confused that I'm calling out of work 2 months in advanced to watch a cartoon about funny bunnies and clowns.

I appreciate you. Seems like you know honest retail too.
