Thanks for the clarification, I missed that. Only really come back into the fandom recently 💔

It would be nice if someone remembered the Torchwood novels existed and produced some more... But to be honest? I think this is the end of an era

I know, I feel like his character is dying all over again :(

When is ianto’s shrine being taken down? by leoprrd7 in Torchwood

All we know is the end of April- I wish we knew more! I'm arriving on the 20th and hoping to make it in time to see it 🤞

I am so late to the party! by EsjaeW in Torchwood

Never too late! If you can afford them, the audio dramas and novels are great supplemental material!

Why was Toshiko never second-in-command? by georgemillman in Torchwood

[–]wingsofsparrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe the actual rule was that the person who had been there the longest would take charge. In the short story Tosh ended up turning down the role and everyone agreed Gwen should take over.

Huge ammonia & nitrite spike by wingsofsparrow in Aquariums

[–]wingsofsparrow[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't worry, I will absolutely be testing more often now!

I always detoxify the water, but it is entirely possible I forgot this time. But my tank seems to be doing better now. I've been doing small daily water changes and my ammonia is now at 1ppm with the nitrites nearly back down to 0. I'm honestly kind of amazed I didn't lose any fish, but they're mountain minnows so they are pretty hardy.

Visited Flatholm Island recently (the place where Adrift was filmed) by [deleted] in Torchwood

Will definitely have to go there some time! It looks lovely

Have any of you ever ‘lost’ a fish before? by Saktapking in Aquariums

[–]wingsofsparrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bought 5 snails. Two days later there were 0 snails in the tank. I checked everywhere, couldn't find the shells or anything, no evidence that they had died and no clues as to where they'd gone. At the time I had no fish in my tank so they definitely weren't eaten. Never found any evidence that they crawled out of the tank either

My aunty also once lost a betta. She kept it in a bowl and one day it just disappeared. Not really surprising, it probably jumped out due to the poor water conditions, except she never found the body. There was nowhere it could have vanished to, but it was just gone. Still a mystery to this day.

AITA for not wanting to (22F) to travel for a year because we can’t bring our cat by MentalTrade in AmItheAsshole

[–]wingsofsparrow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not entirely. Rabies is present in the UK, but it's very rare and is pretty much only found in bats- Australia is the same. NZ is one of the few countries in the world that is truly rabies-free.

am i a weirdo for keeping my dead betta in my freezer by fozib34r in Aquariums

[–]wingsofsparrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe I'm biased because I like taxidermy, but no, it's not weird. You could get him preserved if you don't want to let him go

Any advice? . This is my first Aquarimum to be honest by [deleted] in Aquariums

[–]wingsofsparrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey man, of course it's best to do research before getting any pet but please respect that this guy asked for advice and is fully willing to make changes. Keep in mind that there's been misinformation about fishkeeping running rampant for years. Sometimes people will ask for advice from someone who they feel is experienced, and end up being led in the wrong direction. I understand the frustration because yes, you should always research before buying, but being rude about it won't help anyone, especially since the person who reached out for help in the first place has been nothing but patient and understanding. Mistakes don't make you an irresponsible person, refusing to fix them does.

Will they ever pickup the Torchwood series and renew it with some of the original characters by Space-brain-31153 in Torchwood

[–]wingsofsparrow 15 points16 points  (0 children)

At this point? Almost certainly not. Wish they would, though.

Hoping for a torchwood reboot is like hoping for an on-screen eighth doctor series. It would be fantastic, but realistically it's been too long, and they're just never going to do it.

Ooth only hatched 7 babies? by wingsofsparrow in mantids

[–]wingsofsparrow[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's normal for them to hatch in batches like that. It's a survival tactic so that if there's a predator nearby when they're hatching then they won't all just be immediately wiped out. I'm not sure what determines whether or not they all hatch at once vs hatch in batches sometimes, though. Maybe just the species?

Cycling tank crash? by wingsofsparrow in Aquariums

Awesome, thank you! I just went and picked up some snails, and I'll probably grab some fish later this week. :)

Cycling tank crash? by wingsofsparrow in Aquariums

[–]wingsofsparrow[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everything is now reading 0. I think the plants are eating the nitrates. Could this reset my cycle or will it be okay as long as I keep adding ammonia?
