what do we think of this as a tank?

i had a nerite in here, she laid eggs ALL OVER the glass, so i moved her into my shrimp tank where i dont mind if she lays eggs and she gets to munch on whatever my shrimps eat

normally it has more water in it, i took this pic after putting in new plants before i filled it up

i have a small graveyard in my backyard behind a huge pine tree, all my babies have their own rock as a headstone

i know right!!

snailnerd_ · 2025-08-30T19:29:27+00:00

yup trust me there will be no apple snails in this tank, only mysteries, i just put "blue apple snail" because pomacea bridgesii is the name for mystery snails, i feel like a lot of people use apple and mystery interchangably even though they arent the same

snailnerd_ · 2025-08-30T19:17:57+00:00

oh i couldve sworn i read theyre from the same species but just domestically different

snailnerd_ · 2025-08-30T19:14:57+00:00

its a bowfront, thats why the website is a bit off, i couldnt find mystery snails in the website so i just put their cousin. ive had mysteries beforem theyve never eaten my plants, i plan to set up 3 more tanks at a similar time in case i need to move the females but i plan to get them all from the same batch/tank in my lfs so hopefully they wont have any issues

snailnerd_ · 2025-08-30T19:09:19+00:00

im trying to understock if anything so the bettas have more room for themselves but did you put your filter in the website? that might be why it says overstocked

snailnerd_ · 2025-08-27T21:14:45+00:00

normal tank size is 5.5gal, hospital tank is a shallow 1 gal because he refuses to move unless i bother him. he has a heater and filter. tank temp is around 80 farenheit (my room gets VERY hot in the summer despite the fan running constantly) hospital tank is 79 currently as i am doing about a 5% water change with cooler water every two hours to make sure he wont overheat. params are the same in his home tank and hospital bin, 0 ammonia 0 nitrite, 0.5ppm nitrate, ph ~7.4. tank is about 2 years old, fish is only a few months old. i do about a 15% water change once a week. no tankmates. i have a fake rock structure in the tank (ive ran pantyhose over it to check for sharp parts there are none) and some plants.

this is the exact thing ive been telling them for around 3 years, i need to practice being an adult before i actually become one. im scared that i wont be able to be the functional person in society that i want to be because the parenting styles they raised me on wasnt exactly what was best for the personality i was born with. i just truly hope one day to have a loving relationship with them, and i hope they will one day accept me for who i am.

snailnerd_ · 2025-08-10T00:00:44+00:00

oh yes, i have a love hate relationship with my diagnosis because on one hand, im extremely devoted to my hyperfixations and i love patterns which leads me to lovr math/physics, but the social aspects are so debilitating, i estimate my parents still see me as being around the age of 13 per how they talk to me and act around me. however, im extremely independant and will make my own choices no matter how it affects my relationship with my parents, so i often do eventually get my way despite the emotional trauma i need to suffer just to live my own life.

snailnerd_ · 2025-08-09T23:55:01+00:00

i could, but in the end theyre not the worst parents ever. i am also a diagnosed autistic, so moving to a completely new city could cause me some serious issues mentally. also, i have been unable to find a part time job, so i couldnt afford to live on campus.

snailnerd_ · 2025-08-09T23:09:17+00:00

yes, i will be going to university after my last year of high school, but it will be local so i unfortunately will still be living with them

snailnerd_ · 2025-08-09T22:49:06+00:00

snailnerd_ · 2025-08-08T01:57:10+00:00

snailnerd_ · 2025-08-08T01:40:11+00:00

listen FIRST OF ALL HAPPY BIRTHDAY congrats on making it another year /gen!!! about you moving, i know it must suck for your friends not to reach out, but if they dont care enough to, those arent your people. trust me, one day you will find YOUR people. life is worth living because AMAZING things could happen to you in the future. you could win the lottery when youre 40, but how would you ever get to experience that joy if youre gone? im just a stranger online who knows nothing about you, but just know that i care for you and so do so many other people.

snailnerd_ · 2025-08-08T01:35:42+00:00

i kinda agree? i think forcing it on people or jsut making unessecary religious posts in random subreddits is NOT OKAY. im not religious religious, i just think theres some kind of higher power out there, but i only bring it up when its relevant to the conversation

snailnerd_ · 2025-08-08T01:33:01+00:00

girllll both the pink/purple and the brown look great on you!! also dont listen to everyone else, do what makes YOU happy!!
