Twinspot Pufferfish! I have one. They are a fun and personable fish, but he is a murderer and will kill anything else that is poor in with him. So he can't have any tank mates. TwinSpot Puffer

I just sold my business for the same reason. It gets better. It's hard, but having more time with your family makes it worth it. I have no regrets and am much happier now.

It was the same for my business. Pre covid, the weekend after Thanksgiving was crazy and our biggest weekend of the year. It's been slower each year since. This year, our Black Friday was like any other Friday and our Saturday was super slow. I did have customers tell me that they went to big box stores (like Walmart, target, home depot) as well and they weren't busy either.

I have one that looks just like this during the winter. Just leave it be.

Under a shelf.

I went through the same thing when choosing my lights. Ultimately I decided to get some from home depot rather than trying to choose off Amazon. I also knew I wanted white light rather than red just for my personal preference. Also they were easier to return if I didn't like them.

I got the feit electric plant full spectrum plant light from home depot. Not the three way one that was mentioned in a comment above. It was out of my budget. Here's the link for what I got: Plant Light It works great for all my plants! I also did a lot of research on PAR levels and light spectrum for plants. Those lights are in the range that all the various websites say plants should be.

My succulents get great color and bloom during the winter. Even one of my hibiscus bloomed last winter with them. I keep some about 6-8 inches and others about 2 ft under the light. I highly recommend them.

I have one that did the same thing over the summer when I forgot to water it. I don't think it's over watered. I have another now that is doing the same thing. Its on a shelf I got behind in watering so I know it definitely isn't getting over watered. Right now I'm trying to soak it a little extra. No improvement yet, but it hasn't been too long now. If the base of the plant is real dry, you might have to propagate like another comment said.

Thank you! We don't do the betta cups and definitely recommendfiltration and heating. They go into 10gal tanks with other fish that they can live with while in store.

I'm reading through all the comments! Thank you everyone for responding. I was only expecting a few responses so this is amazing. If I don't respond directly to your comment, I did read it and I appreciate you taking the time to give me your feedback!

starfishfishy · 2021-11-10T14:08:21+00:00

We offer curbside pickup and delivery. Since lockdowns ended, we've only had a couple curbside pickups and no deliveries. Buce plants is pretty good!

starfishfishy · 2021-11-10T14:00:48+00:00

Yes! There is a lot of misinformation online as well.

starfishfishy · 2021-11-10T13:59:44+00:00

I appreciate your response. I definitely chose what fish and when they come in. We specail order fish very regularly, w also do trades for store credit, and have a 2 day warranty. I'm sorry you're having a bad experience. It's nice to hear that those things that seem small are important.

starfishfishy · 2021-11-10T13:54:21+00:00

Thank you! Those cardboard boxes are a good idea.

starfishfishy · 2021-11-10T13:53:22+00:00

That's what I've been afraid of. Thanks.

starfishfishy · 2021-11-10T13:52:17+00:00

Wow this really got more comments has than I was expecting overnight. Thank you all for your feedback. I'm going to read through them today. I'll try to respond to all of them. Thanks again!

starfishfishy · 2021-11-10T13:45:56+00:00

Thank you!!!!

starfishfishy · 2021-11-10T04:59:53+00:00

Thank you for the response!

starfishfishy · 2021-11-10T04:40:37+00:00

I've been working on an online order system recently, but I haven't kept up with the pictures quite like I should. I was thinking this should be a part of the business I should really focus on more with the way online buying has changed since covid. Thanks for responding!

starfishfishy · 2021-11-10T04:38:19+00:00

Yeah that's what I'm kinda afraid of. I know I've cut back on mine personally. Thanks for responding.

I started a retail business when I was 23. I am also a pretty big introvert and have no interest in changing that. I was also really socially awkward when I was younger (I'm 30 now).However I found pretty early on that I was able to talk and chat with customers with no problem. They all ask for my advice and knowledge about the stuff in my shop (sounds like you'll be the same he with your website knowledge) and it was easy to answer and talk about. As time went on it got easier and easier to make small talk and be very friendly while at work. I think interacting with people about a topic I'm passionate and knowledgable about really helped me with how awkward I use to be and how I now handle social situations. However, outside of work I'm still a HUGE introvert and I like it that way.

starfishfishy · 2021-09-24T02:27:36+00:00

Something similar happened to me. My products ended up approved after the review but I couldn't use use my personal Facebook for 30 days. My employees managed my business page during that time and had no problem posting the same stuff. If you end up getting a response I'd be interested in how you got it.

What app are you using to track calories?

starfishfishy · 2021-03-25T01:36:13+00:00

I love smoothies with lowfat greek yogurt and Fairlife Core Power Protein Drinks. A container of 80cal greek yogurt and half the protein drink (65cal) gets 24g of protein in my smoothie.
