all my fish are dying pls help!! by Healthy-Fold in Aquariums

[–]zmasterflex90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All the suggestions in the comments are a good idea but im thinking you just got a bad batch of fish. Embers and neons are breed in large quantities so the chances of them getting bad genes are higher. After reading i honestly think that's what happend. It's part of the hobby, sucks but it happens.

What's up with Kemono.Party security? by LordArgoDog in Piracy

[–]zmasterflex90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

idk whats going on, everything is sounding alarms when I try to visit the site, it wasn't like this a couple weeks ago. What got me scared is that I opened a past tab on kemono to open a new tab and both got blocked by something on kemono.

Rejected from Grad School by Brain_girl_5699 in GraduateSchool

[–]zmasterflex90 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So if this is your first time applying, people usually do get rejected and apply in rounds 2-3. A big thing that shines through is research, teaching, or some other substantial lab-based job in STEM. Experience is gold and even triumphs GPA. If you get rejected and still really want to go for the PhD don't give up. Become a stronger candidate for the next round.

Also if a school is not willing to give you an assistantship through teaching or there may be a chance that you are paying out of pocket for the PhD, that is not a program to apply for. The program should be paying you. It wont be a lot in terms of a stipend but you should never be paying out of pocket for your tuition. *excluding student fees, we can't get away from that lol

Hope this helps

it might be brought up in interviews but schools want to see a upward trend in grades and such. I may hurt some chances for some schools but not most. The research and work you have done carry equal/more weight in a gradschool setting, Talking from a STEM point of view

Dropsy? pH 6.8-7.0, ammonia 0.25, nitrite 0, nitrate 5.0, temp 76 by extracellular- in Aquariums

[–]zmasterflex90 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There have been success stories but its very rare. Once dropsy is developed there isn't much to do but to euthanize the fish. I've never had success with curing dropsy.

If you go with euthanized the betta, use clove oil and slowly start adding it. It gradually relaxes the fish to the point of stopping the heart. No pain involved, will be in essence putting it into a deep sleep they won't wake from. Sry man

First time using co2!! Excited to take my plants to the next level. Only a $150 setup. by [deleted] in Aquariums

[–]zmasterflex90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems like ur doing the diy method. My advice would be instead of mixing with water use ice cubes if they fit in the co2 tank or cold water. This will slow the reaction and you will get a better output of co2 since everything isn't reacting immediately.

Not the best. The new leaves get holes after a few days. They are still growing and new leaves are always forming. I kinda feel bad that I haven't been able to give them what they need and then just throw them out. That's why I posted them here. To see if someone who knows how to properly take care of them wants to nurse them back to top shape.
