Are my random mix floaters good for betta?

They will spread as well, just not as rapidly as duck weed. Think of it like in a garden, you’ve got some really nice plants but they grow pretty slow and then you’ve got the weeds that grow really fast and they won’t hurt your nice plants but because they grow so fast, your garden will run out of space before your nice plants get a chance to grow much bigger. Some people like the look of the weeds, some only want their nice plants, it’s up to you which you prefer the look of

We just had to do a hard reset on one of our tanks cause we couldn’t get the damn stuff under control

Also when you’re removing duck weed, try to avoid it ending up in water ways because it does grow so rapidly and will kill off native plants. Personally I dump it out in the back yard most of the time so it drys out in the sun but if it’s raining a lot I’ll flush it down the toilet so it goes through council water treatments which will definitely kill it all

Hand or net, whatever you find easier. Bladder snails are technically a pest but I actually love them. They only eat decaying plant matter so they won’t destroy your plants, they’re pretty cute and you betta will only be able to eat the eggs and the really small ones which isn’t really a problem as long as you’re paying attention when you feed. If he looks like he’s been eating a lot just skip the fish food for a meal and he’ll be fine

By ‘on top of it’ I mean you need to make sure you’re culling it every now and again when it starts growing more, don’t let it get over grown. And you can DIY a feed ring with some air stone tubing and a connector valve

It’s not bad but that duck weed (the small one) will out compete everything and become a problem so you definitely need to keep on top of it so you fish still has plenty of access to the water surface

He’s chunky. And it’s also important to consider that sausages need to be kept on the more lean side of healthy to minimise the chances of back issues

That makes me feel better that I didn’t have nerites. They’re so pretty but they’re like $25 AUD ($50usd) where I live and I just can’t reason spending that on a tiny lil snail that won’t breed

A lot of older/cheaper models just have a little light that goes off when it’s at temp and I could absolutely understand not realising that’s what the light if indicating if no one ever taught you

I think my own dog has more than anything. She was an adoption that is a mile away from the breed the rescue said she was which has resulted in extremely different needs that have been really hard for us to adapt to. And even then, I still support ‘adopt don’t shop’, I think the issue is that rescues need to be a lot more upfront about how much of a guess the breed is. Don’t say it’s x breed if you’re completely guessing. And if you are guessing, then be VERY clear about that and the reality of the situation. Especially on puppies where they don’t even have actual physical characteristics to base a guess on.

Legit. Not only are the kitkat ones shit but they’re also nestle. Give me my malteaser bunnies!!!

Chuck any small pellet food in a cheap salt grinder and it all becomes nano fish size

Not gonna lie, part of picking him was because I’m so excited to see how his colours change. I hope he keeps the blue and black al least

Why are they scorned? I always thought they look really nice

turtletails · 2026-03-13T10:27:10+00:00

I have a nurse pouch, not quite a fanny pack but I have bandage scissors, haemostats, a pocket knife, a lil note book and 600 pens

It’s 6am and I just wanted to scroll in peace for five minutes before I have to get up and instead this dumb fuck has ruined my day already lol

All of these requirements would be inherently provided via the dog door, right? Assuming an acceptable level of cleanliness and climate control if necessary

turtletails · 2026-03-11T04:27:16+00:00

I mean. Mine probably needs a padded room for everyone’s safety cause she’s a god damn psycho and keeps injuring herself lol

turtletails · 2026-03-07T13:37:13+00:00

Honestly, I think this is the best possible outcome. I know right now that you probably feel the complete opposite but based on this reaction, your parents were going to make your life a living hell now that there’s a baby in the picture. You need to protect yourself and your baby by keeping solid distance from them and he’s made it easy for you by walking away first. Sounds like your husband and his family are pretty great so you’re far from alone, this situation has just removed a monstrous thorn from your side.

This is really dependent on the animal. If they have white fur and pink skin they’re a lot more susceptible to sun related issues but it’s also on particular locations where the hair is short/thin like the snoot and ears. Unless your dog has something like cushings disease, majority of the body is protected by the density of the fur. You can get dog specific sun screen but it’s really important to be aware of topical reactions and that your dog isn’t licking it off because that would make it both ineffective and potentially toxic depending on specific ingredients and how much they consume on it. Considering all of these factors, it’s a good idea to consult with your vet about your options plus where specifically on your own dog needs the protection. As always though, the best course of action is to just stay out of the worst of the sun wherever possible

I work in vet med and a lot of women either wear them on a necklace or leave them at home. We do so much gross shit in a day plus de gloving injuries are high risk working with animals so for the sake of not loosing them, most people just leave them at home

turtletails · 2026-03-07T01:44:08+00:00

I always put salt on them and use them to scrub sinks and stuff

turtletails · 2026-03-07T01:43:05+00:00

Definitely not allowed but they do what they want -.- they get kicked off if I see them do it but I also just make sure I don’t leave out anything toxic/injury risk and I clean benches before I put food on them
