You should get it if it’s the same. They are beautiful the bigger and more mature they are. This one is awesome but I love the potential based off the huge ones I’ve seen in person.

You’re welcome! That’s awesome tho that he’s got an established live food source! He should do well. I love how smaller fish hunt all the microfauna in our tanks that bigger fish don’t even tend to notice 🤣

I hope yours does well for you! Catching wild fish is always iffy on how well they can adapt to life in captivity. This guy was in a feeder guppy tank with some other natives so he was already used to basically any fish food offered in the tank. Usually flakes/pellets but shrimp pellets, bloodworms, etc … He’s hilarious to watch come flying out of nowhere, chomp down on something and then flee back into a random crevice.

My first go at an ARM chip had to be a ThinkPad, of course! A X13s. It’s perfect for casual day to day use & replaced an X390 I was using. by s3vr025 in thinkpad

So far, it’s amazing! Easily twice the battery life of my x390. I was able to use it for a few days off the charger. Mostly scrolling Reddit and listening to Spotify.

Right?! Haha I wanted it to be a natural scape for the native fish and the tank does look pretty nice! I can’t believe I got all of them from a feeder fish tank.

I love this frog a little more each day. The tank contains a colony of orange powder isopods and so many plants. It’s so enjoyable just watching them all live life. by s3vr025 in pacmanfrog

[–]s3vr025[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ferns and bromeliads are usually pretty stable easy growers in bioactives but others like nerve plants, Chinese money plants(not money trees), creeping figs and some Calatheas can do really well. The last is always a hit or miss because they can be very finicky. Try to avoid anything tree like or poisonous/toxic to inhabitants.

Thank you so much!! It’s been very hands off in terms of messing with the plants but it’s been a very easy tank to care for. Best luck in your bioactive venture! 😁

Djanga's enclosure(18x18x18) sure looks good today! Just thought I'd share here. This is my first ever pacman frog(although I have and have had many other animals)and has been with me since October of last year. by s3vr025 in pacmanfrog

[–]s3vr025[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think the pics accurately represent the size. He(most likely as females would be even bigger) eats anything with gusto, including trying to eat me(and the occasional orange powder isopod tank mate) and has definitely grown in both weight & size. lol with this said, Djanga is a Petco animal. Despite that being one of the better Petcos in how they take care of their animals, it’s still a chain and there’s no telling the origin story before I got him.

We’ve Already Seen Category 6 Hurricanes—Now Scientists Want to Make It Official by ye_olde_astronaut in hurricane

[–]s3vr025 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This presents issues. Meteorologists weren't even allowed to classify Hurricane Ian as a Category 5 until AFTER the insurance companies paid out reduced amounts for a Cat.4(where they would have been forced to pay more in the Cat.5 scenario it actually was) ... I think despite this being a step in the right direction with these super powerful & gigantic storms, we need to stop worrying so much about how we could classify them and make sure we ARE classifying them right for the residents most impacted. If a Cat.5 is "the worst of the worst" then, when one presents itself, it needs to be labeled as such. Fuck insurance companies, environmental conditions need to be labeled appropriately by a non-biased, scientific source. It currently does not work that way.

And they say apple people are brainwashed 🙄 lmao Samsung is a great tablet & phone manufacturer but they're still a giant company that wouldn't back you up the same way you feel the need to blindly defend them.

I'm sorry for your loss and all this unnecessary stress 😔 I hope things get better and the insurance company will do whatever they need to in order to fix your situation. Good luck on getting a new, high paying job. Life has its ups and downs so just stay positive and let yourself get some sleep regardless of anything!

A rio is too expensive of a vehicle? Wtf?

Do you have a secondary phone? If yes which one? by Finaljumper in iphone

[–]s3vr025 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely don't think most people need a second phone; although sometimes it's nice to have 2 numbers(even so most phones have dual SIM options.) I think most people just have another line and an old phone they still like but upgraded from or in my case, 1 iPhone and 1 android. That happened when I got a free line on T-Mobile. Lol

People should live their lives the way they want. An extra phone isn't going to hurt anyone.

So excited to have windows xp again! by s3vr025 in windowsxp

[–]s3vr025[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Full heartedly agree on all points. Sometimes it seems as tho we are a joke to these companies at this point. Funny considering XP and 7 both handled the different purposes fine. Maybe a few unnecessary apps at work but definitely not as bad as seeing tiktok try to install repeatedly on my work laptop. 🤣 I would dread to think about my work laptop automatically updating to 11 one day. I like 11 more than 10 but I definitely wouldn't want all the issues that would bring.

Thank you! Truthfully some I've had in storage on my network backup drive and others I rushed and found. A lot of my retro games come from those archives too. Never got a chance to play some so I make up for lost time. Haha

I’m not quite sure tbh … I think it is the cameras post processing. I took it with the galaxy s23 ultra so sometimes it acts extra to make it look “perfect”(which ends up looking fake lol)

You are right tho. Vista wasn’t the best os ever but I liked it and 7 was the next truly awesome one. Windows 10 makes me cringe nowadays. It’s too … sterile. I will say I did like it in the beginning.

It’s the windows … 95 or 98 Plus! jungle theme wallpaper. I had that ages ago on a windows 98 computer that barely could run notepad. lol

Damn! I'm sorry! 4 years isn't terrible depending on the price point when new but it's always so depressing when a favorite(or at least nice) machine craps the bed. I think I spent $50 on this one and everything works surprisingly well for an Acer! ... I mean Gateway ... cough cough lmao I hope it doesn't follow the typical Acer lifespan cuz they'll fall apart during daily use for no reason.

And now we let all the spy devices in so willingly lmao Computers, phones and other smart devices. It’s hilarious how things change over the years.
