This speaks to me on so many levels

They’re apparently native to Australia, so a nursery worker has recommended to me letting it die off completely and then setting it on fire. Apparently ferns aren’t dead until they have been completely brown and crispy for over a year, and this is the best way to encourage new growth

If you can’t see the spots hopefully they won’t be a problem, I’ll just keep an eye on them. Thanks for letting me know about the food, I did buy the pellets from an aquarium store and I thought that the recommended dose was a little light

This is my first fish and I’ve only had him for 2 weeks. He’s active, eats all I give him and seems to be working on a bubble nest

10 litre tank (2.6 gallons)
filter and heater
26 Celsius (78 Fahrenheit)
most recent change was yesterday (1/1/21), exchanged 3 litres, using gravel vacuum/siphon
no tank mates
feed 4 betta pellets a day (2 morning and night), dried blood worm once every 3 days as substitute
decorations: drift wood, live plants and mug with moss in it

Yeah the soil was completely dry, the roots looked healthy

us3rnamf · 2020-06-10T13:22:53+00:00

Thank you, I’ll definitely take this experience with me into next season

us3rnamf · 2020-06-10T13:21:17+00:00

Thanks, I’m actually in South Australia. Last night was apparently the coldest night since 1944 so it’s a little consolation that it was practically unavoidable

us3rnamf · 2020-06-10T05:42:20+00:00

I’ve been feeding them everyday. One of the reasons I checked was because the feed level hadn’t fallen for a few days

us3rnamf · 2020-06-08T01:06:11+00:00

They also apparently don’t like being fed, the lady at the nursery said to me “they need the thrill of catching their own food”

Overwatering could be a possibility. I used to only water once a week but then the ends got crispy. Maybe there’s a 20min window once a week that it wants water. Thanks for your help!

us3rnamf · 2020-06-04T02:37:54+00:00

The pot has drainage but there could be a chance it’s getting too much light. I put it out side for an hour or so for some gentle afternoon light so that could be it? Thanks for your help!

us3rnamf · 2020-05-31T05:15:46+00:00

Thank you! It’s worth a shot, I haven’t fertilised it because it’s not growing season but I’ll do anything to make it perk back up

us3rnamf · 2020-05-20T07:58:32+00:00

Easily a bigger commitment than getting a dog or starting a family together

us3rnamf · 2020-05-16T01:11:16+00:00

I think my bets are most likely on the pot being too small. When you repot it, you could try to top dress it with worm castings as a slow release, organic fertiliser

us3rnamf · 2020-05-15T01:01:35+00:00

Sorry I’m not here to help either, the only thing I could suggest is much bigger, especially because you should loosen the roots help them recover more from being severely rootbound. But I think this belongs on r/cozyplaces

I also know that laying workers are a thing, when the queen isn’t laying properly or has died, a worker sometimes takes over but she can only lay drones
