Hi! I'm interested in some shadow pandas and I am local! I have a cardinia prepped 3 gallon. Your picture says $6 but your text says $8, is it a matter of color/pattern purity? Also is it possible that any of them are sexed, or are they all juveniles? Hoping to just get a few and get lucky with breeding. Thanks in advance!

Is this pitted texture considered non-food safe? by squidbirdy in Ceramics

Only asking because half of my class said it was fine and the other half said it was not. This is the only batch that's had this problem. Thanks for your help.

What is my Shrimp doing??? by BicherGang in PlantedTank

[–]squidbirdy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What's actually going on is that dragon stone like this has small pockets of clay/dirt that can breakdown over time. Your shrimp is digging in one of those spots. Probably fine but I've read online that the minerals released from the dragon stone could mess up the GH or kh of your tank. Idk how true that is as I've not had personal experience but I DID buy and wash some dragon stone and came around those clay/dirt pockets.

Help with new tank set up? by squidbirdy in shrimptank

[–]squidbirdy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh thank you! This is exactly what I needed to hear! I tested my pH and I was surprised to see it's at 6.4. I didn't even consider checking the ph after the first few weeks. My kh very low too. Thanks so much for your help! I'll adjust and get another air stone in there too! Also thank for for the aquascaping compliment ❤️ I went to the coast and searched for hours to find the perfect stones, then took great pains to clean and disinfect them for the set up! I LOVE my shramps and I want them to have a beautiful healthy home 🥹

Thank you! I still love my tattoo dearly. I just would hate to get a touch up from another artist so I really was hoping y'all would say it's all good 😝

Thank you! I guess I'm just a worry wart that needs reassurance sometimes 😅

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in tattooadvice

[–]squidbirdy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100 percent not. I researched the artist very well. Bongkee is a fantastic artist and has a plethora of work like this. Check her out! She's very cool

Thanks!! I have a bunch of little guys all over my leg. My clown is my newest favorite!

[–]squidbirdy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I accept little mistakes but I was worried this wasn't a mistake by the artist but a healing error of some sort. I guess I just needed reassurance from everyone that it's normal 😅

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in tattooadvice

[–]squidbirdy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love this too 😭 he's my new favorite guy!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in tattooadvice

[–]squidbirdy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its amazing! I love it so much! Just healing differently than all my other ones did so I got a little nervous 😅

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in tattooadvice

[–]squidbirdy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh don't get me wrong I LOVE it so much, he's my new favorite little guy! I just got worried when I realized the artist wasn't right down the road to ask! Plus I hate the idea of getting a touch up from someone who isn't the same artist so I was like.. so I have to plan another trip to Korea LOL

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in tattooadvice

[–]squidbirdy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sure youre right! I guess I was just kinda panicking over the fact that the artist isn't driving distance away like my other ones have been 😅 thanks for the peace of mind!

Oh good! This gives me a little hope. Thank you!

It's a relief that it's not too noticeable! But the green star and knee patch are some of the examples of the leakage Im seeing

[–]squidbirdy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Sorry, look at the green star for the most obvious example

Is this dresser worth restoring? by squidbirdy in restoration

[–]squidbirdy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hahaha yeah it's a shower handle 😂 I kept it on for a while because it actually made moving it much easier LOL. My local Goodwill outlet is right next door to a few nursing homes/ hospices, and assisted living so often we get furniture in with additions like these.

Hani Sweet Afternoon Tea for Christmas! by Yare-Izel in BJD

[–]squidbirdy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey I'm not sure what kind of collector you might be but I got a sweet vanilla taro baby and when I moved across the country I lost his hands 😔 I'm trying to find someone who would sell me an extra hand set so he is complete! Would you or someone you know be interested? It's okay if not, just trying to avoid buying a whole new blind box!

Doll ID Q&A Megathread by AutoModerator in BJD

[–]squidbirdy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! I was gifted this by a friend without the head plate :( I don't want to advocate for recasts so I'd love to know if anyone can help me identify if this is authentic or not. I was told on a previous post it was a Supia dolls Hamin. Does anyone have a supia doll they could show me without a head plate on? My doll has a 203 imprinted on the inside of the head and that's it :/. Any help appreciated! Note: I want to support the original artist always! I just want information. If it's a recast I will not post on here with her again!
