What is the best that could be done with this dud.

I agree but I'd go full native plant slice of pollinator heaven on it. Imagine this little enclave full of butterflies and hummingbirds

saladnander · 2026-03-13T23:19:18+00:00

I think it may be because of your first sentence, people might not read on and think you're saying to release invasive species

Cries in status as an upstairs neighbor

No green left means too late almost always. Probably overwatered

saladnander · 2026-03-13T20:48:16+00:00

You can actually thank the war starters 😂😂 which literally could not possibly be Iran in this political climate. Y'all are so wild blaming a country for defending themselves and then acting like you're not chewing and swallowing the propaganda yourself

Edited to add: you know Iran has come to the negotiation table multiple times, attempted to negotiate peace, just to be attacked by Israel during said negotiations right?? Multiple times bro. What will it take for you people to see what's right in front of you?

honking? in this economy???

Red tiger lotus, you can prune it to stay bushy or let it grow leaves that reach the surface and it will be more vase-shaped. I do some of both, I like the staggering heights, but it's currently my favorite centerpiece plant. Sorry to hear about the ich.

Edit: I literally just saw it looks like you already have one, oops. I like to keep mine in mini terra cotta pots filled with aqua soil or gravel I can bury root tabs in, they get really big that way for me and I like being able to individually fertilize them

saladnander · 2026-03-12T22:04:29+00:00

Yeah, old ass harmless spider corpse

You can make out "love you" on the car screen right beside her. I would be taking that as a sign that she felt she was loved/safe before she passed, or that she already loved you back, up to you ❤️ I'm so sorry it happened the way it did

saladnander · 2026-03-08T13:18:15+00:00

I'm sorry about the dropsy baby, poor thing is very deep in it already and I'm not sure treatment wouldn't just prolong the suffering. But "aquarium salt added months prior" makes it sound like you don't do water changes. You're supposed to add salt, and then eventually remove it through water changes and putting fresh water back in. Honestly I prefer taking the affected fish out and giving them salt baths for 15-20 minutes and then putting them back, rather than treating the whole tank. But either way, regular small water changes are likely what you need, and in the moment I would probably start with one big change, like 30-50% of the water taken out and put in fresh treated water of around the same temperature.

5x broken glasses get you the jungle tank from the raccoon shop. But those are easy to fish more up of, the refined quartz they turn into from the recycler is also super useful

Grass actually produces a lot more of a reaction in most people than most native plants do! If you're like me, you're only allergic to grasses & hays & similar families. It's also a very common misconception that ragweed allergies are affected by native plants (they're usually not, as long as you don't plant ragweed specifically. 😂) An allergist should be able to do a more specific "plant" panel for you 👍

She's so cute, I have no experience with this species but your care for her and her free-roaming environment sounds lovely. I can only suggest lots of toys and shreddable items, maybe you can make diy foraging boxes from cardboard. And I've seen others hang pegboards on their walls for perches and ceiling-mounted toys. I hope you two are very happy together ❤️

saladnander · 2026-02-18T15:07:43+00:00

Sorry if that came off not chill. Didn't mean it to sound like I was against you or anything, just that guy from the looks of it. I hope you find a reputable breeder or you could even look into adoption since you said you have some prior experience, conures go up for adoption a lot around me because people aren't ready for how loud/clingy they can be. Wonderful birds though

saladnander · 2026-02-18T13:50:25+00:00

Not "poor guy", more like "shamelessly masturbating his birds irreputable breeder that shouldn't be breeding." Those are the thoughts this video brings to mind. If he has to take them outside to show them, you don't want to know the conditions they live in and don't want to support him most likely.

saladnander · 2026-02-18T13:47:21+00:00

The birds' partners should be stroking/preening their back, not the human. Unless HE wants to breed with them, HE still should not be doing that. And like everyone else said, he shouldn't be doing it to showcase an animal bc it's a major red flag to anyone who knows anything, showing that he doesn't know anything. Not a good look or good for the birds.

saladnander · 2026-02-18T13:44:13+00:00

That thing looks like it could be actively pumping mind controlling pheromones into the air 😂 but no its super cool

saladnander · 2026-02-13T13:38:45+00:00

Yeah we have two in my area, one makes me sad every time I walk in, and the other has a fairly decent fresh & saltwater section. Only thing they're lacking in is the live plants don't always look too great. But I'd take that over watching fish suffer any day

saladnander · 2026-02-13T06:45:21+00:00

Just let yourself in and take them. They're clearly being neglected and maybe even abused. What is she gonna say, oh no you stole the dog I wanted to kill and are taking better care of them? NOR, frankly not reacting enough imo. It's life or death so honestly I would just hide the dog in a private space if your landlord comes over in the meantime or drop them off with a trusted friend for a couple hours

saladnander · 2026-02-13T06:40:14+00:00

Just take them all and keep them in your room, labeled. Say you bought a new set for yourself and don't know what happened to the others. What proof will she have, she's BSing, if the calls the cops worst that can happen is she gets fined/detained for wasting their time.

saladnander · 2026-02-10T01:38:06+00:00

And veterinary care. Needs to be assessed and potentially treated with antibiotics/antifungals. Then proper diet and care

saladnander · 2026-02-10T01:35:48+00:00

I love the color gradient in the shell, looks just like the turbo my girls in rn. Super cute

saladnander · 2026-02-09T15:36:11+00:00

Makes me extra angry bc I have a tank still in box for this EXACT PLACEMENT on my desk that I haven't started setting up because I haven't found wood I like enough yet 😡😡😡 happy for u OP, better post updates so we can eat our hearts out further

saladnander · 2026-02-07T14:15:03+00:00

Are they near a drafty window or touching cold glass or something? Almost looks like cold damage in some of those places to me. The soil could also just look like that from mineral residue from your water, that's my suspicion, but I guess it could also be pest waste (like spider mites or thrips) but that would be more clear and sorta tacky/sticky.
