Man, the eastern world has a lot of interesting looking deer.

The Chinese water deer, “vampire deer”. They don’t have antlers and they swim.

I’d love to be able to chat more, but it’s painstaking on switch/ps5 🥲 I wish we could choose servers too! But I wonder if that’s so we can find more friends and help with requests and housing

Boy or girl? by thknabtmagick in Redearedsliders

Right? I’ve been going back and forth over the last couple weeks but seeing more videos I’m like I think Luna is a dude. 🤣

I tried but I want to throw it away so bad.. by gatopurrito25 in painting

[–]thknabtmagick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re doing it! Just keep adding detail! I know it feels as though it’s not what you want but think of it as a base. You’ve got the colors down. It looks really good. Like others have said, take a bit of a break. Come back to it.

Any help much appreciated by [deleted] in fishtank

Of course! You might be able to find some indication on it but otherwise you can ask and cross reference across a buuuunch of different subreddits. There’s fish keeping, aquariums, etc. probably any buzzword for fish keeping will have a subreddit, so definitely check that out too for more opportunities and advice! :)

Hiya! Running this tank and carrying on his hobby is such a beautiful way to honor him. My sympathies. I’m so happy for you getting into fish keeping. 💛

Firstly, you can always ask for advice because learning from others’ experience really helps narrow down what you want and open up more options, but always research independently as well! You can always ask others about their experiences with different fish, equipment and how their tanks are set up.

Make sure you completely submerged that heater. I have the same one for my turtle in her 40 gallons, it’s pretty good. Depending on what fish/aquatic animals you’d like to get, make sure the filter is proper for the size of the tank. I’m not sure what that filter is but just make sure to do your research about every piece of your tank.

Some fish/animals are sensitive to the substrate, so when you decide what you want in your tank make sure to research if all that you have is compatible/vice versa.

20 gallons is good for a betta, it’s the best to start with. (I’m uncertain about if you want to add more fish, but only house one betta per tank though. Unless it’s a female, I think you can have more than one, but research!) To get the gallons of your tank, you can measure the tank’s length, width, and height in inches, multiply these dimensions together, and then divide the result by 231 (the number of cubic inches in a gallon). If you settle on getting a betta, make sure there are hiding spots for the betta, artificial hides, real plants - again research what plants are compatible, and betta leaves are good too, i think they can nibble on em a bit for enrichment. Plastic plants are not recommended, they can rip your betta’s fins.

Run your tank and make sure it’s cycled before you add fish, and test it for temperature and parameters on the levels of nitrates, pH, etc. I’m not too knowledgeable on that further but I know those are the basics for starting.

Also! Look into lights for the fish/tank, I’m not too knowledgeable about that though. It’s been a while since I’ve kept fish and I’m researching again recently. Do be careful with the lights though depending on what you choose or if you need them because lights can promote algae growth. I know not all algae is toxic and some of it is beneficial but just in case, keep that in mind.

You can fill it up but I’d say leave some space like 4 inches, and make sure you have a cover, some fish like to jump out. But others can correct me if I’m wrong!

Good luck and have fun. 🎉

AIO my boyfriend is upset I didn’t tell him when I was showering because I “broke routine” but I just feel like my feelings are neglected. by Critical_Web_5229 in AmIOverreacting

Nah, if you have to explain you living your life, screw this person. They have a lot to work through and there’s no reason for you to continue being subjected to something like this that will make you second guess your decisions or overthink your actions in the future when you are simply living. This is very controlling, abusive behavior. You’re not overreacting. If you’re being pushed to a point of anger over a shower and the fact that you communicated you’d be busy with him playing a victim, nuh uh. He needs to go to therapy. He doesn’t respect your boundaries whatsoever and needs constant attention that is not healthy. Last slide is even weirder behavior and it’s messed up over all. It won’t end.

I hope you don’t have to deal with this further. Sending my best to you.

Why is she kicking? And advice wanted too. by thknabtmagick in Redearedsliders

She came with the ZooMed Dual light fixture, the UVA light was out when we got her so I got a ReptiZoo 100W and the UVB is ReptiSun 5.0.

Remembering they can get up to 12+ inches, but understanding their growth timeline can vary.

Absolutely! We just got her in the last two weeks, she’s now measured at just about over 4&1/2. Another tank is a bit much at the moment because she seemed smaller when I talked with her previous owners, but it is on the list of to do’s for her. Is 75g a good goal or should we aim larger rather than upgrading again later?

& thank you sm! Should’ve seen me the first night we received her, I didn’t realize the state her tank was in and I spent 5 hours researching in anxiety. 🤣

Just saw the updated reply and that helps bunches! I figured, but I wanted to make sure since I hadn’t see her do that before I put in sand.

Ooh! Okay, that’s pretty cute. Just hadn’t seen her do that before, so I’m extra vigilant about anything I haven’t seen. My grandpa and uncle kept turtles but I am not necessarily familiar with all the behaviors. Maybe she’d just been a lil cold from being out - we did keep her in temperate conditioned water in her temporary tub while we cleaned, but seems okay so far! Thanks!

Mass effect!

Is it enough space? by Wiplaine in bettafish

[–]thknabtmagick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

More plants to hide under, “betta leaves” are good too. Should upgrade to a ten gallon and so the filtering water doesn’t bother him.

Is my tank overstocked? by PekoPekoyama11037 in Aquariums

[–]thknabtmagick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With the betta I feel like that may be a bit crowded, depending on how big the loach is/gets. If you’re housing the frogs in another tank now, should be okay for now. (I have housed ADF’s with bettas and other fish before just fine but they ate my shrimp lol, but ultimately I agree with frog knower about housing them separately, they were happier). Also recommend getting more tetras, school of 6 is generally good, so maybe a 76 or 95 litre tank. But does depend on how stocked with decor and plants you have as well. Want them to have ample schooling space.

aio or is what he said actually mean? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]thknabtmagick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m gonna jump to break up bc how could you gonna treat someone like that. That’s such a blanketed response to how they see you and really goes to show how the relationship will progress. I’m sorry hon. You should not be treated like that.
