I had a betta with a vacuum suspended tower. It was awesome he would always use it. I made sure there was a little layer of air at the top in case he got confused though.

[@he4rt5]

do you have to redo it every once in a while to refill oxygen?

[@sufficiently_damp6227]

I had a nightmare that someone surprised me with fish for my birthday bc they thought my betta was lonely in her 5gal. There were tetras, corydoras, guppies, raspboras, gouramis, and like 5 other bettas. I spent the rest of the dream trying to return them to my LFS, before they killed each other, without getting banned forever for being a bad fish owner. FTR is infiltrating my nightmares.

[@eonbree8593]

i dream about my fish atleast once every few months. they usally end up all on my floor (somehow getting my room flooded in my 2 inches of water) and im trying to stop them from eating eachother

My cousin Lakarie have 28 long gallon aquarium with 4 female crown tail bettas with 8 gold neon tetras, 6 hillsteam loaches, with lots of live plants she added 2 tennels and a large jar for her bettas for their entertainment .

[@A-Pony]

I had A LOT of dehydrations headaches when I was younger. I didn't know how to tell when I was thirsty 🙃 Still don't, really, but I have better hydrations habits. Anyways I ALWAYS take pain killers to get rid of my headache, AND make sure I'm eating sufficient food, hydrating, not staring at screens, fix whatever caused the headache. Just fixing it and resting isn't enough. If I take a nap with a headache I wake up in more pain. If it works for you it works for you! MY ADVICE THOUGH If you have nausea, eat some ginger/ginger candy, or drink ginger tea. I've head mint also helps nausea... Haven't tested this myself Warm or cool rag over the eyes or on the back of the neck/base of skull can be relieving if you have pain in those areas. Neck/base massage can be relieving. If you need to rest your eyes but can't stand the boredom: podcasts or audio books! Maybe just music if that's sufficiently entertaining to you. Hopefully you don't have to deal with many more headaches tho 👏👏 Stay hydrated ofc (:

[@kimberlybellinger3925]

Mohawk, but a stylish one. You've got this, it's your new dorsal fin! Cory gang for life!

[@ashleycla2000]

I like it and love that the betta actually swims up there. I still 30 years later feel guilt from having a betta in a fish bowl, from not knowing better. Lulu was loved and lived a couple years but the guilt of it remains.

[@maddiesheridan2451]

i have chronic migraines- apply peppermint oil wherever you are feeling pain. also, cut a small chunk of ginger root (pill size). drinking chocolate milk with it makes it much smoother going down. i know it sounds weird but trust me it saved my life and doesn't give me the same side effects medications do.

[@wilgarcia1]

I've completely switched to Saltwater but I'm tempted to setup a 10 gal with an upside-down plastic bowl the fish can swim up in. The only time a fish should be in a bowl is when they can swim out in to more water =)

I rescued a betta (with fin rot in a mason jar) from my neighborhood free group on FB. She's in a 10gal with filtration, heat, treatment.

Go forth Cory gang/ FTR fans, get your hands good and dirty and cuddle some wet and non wet pets!! 🙏💙✌️ Chris, getting rid of a headache; one cup coffee or other caffeinated bev + 1 aspirin. That's exactly what's in those Exedrin headache pills. The aspirin caffeine combo is 👌 for dilating the evil dread brain vessels and reading the pain. -fav hairstyle; anything my grandma would've called "wash and wear" meaning you don't have to add a bunch of product or spend an hour using electric hair appliances on😅.

[@BadKittyNoMilk]

that is an amazing betta fish tank. it has a little above-water-level betta patio, this betta can see above it's tank. that's so amazing. I do know a few headache remedies. a shot of ginger, you'd need a good juicer. its got a kick but is great for you. a spot about two inches from the inside of your wrist, i saw a video of a guy doing it and it works. if you rub that spot for about 30 seconds it should help or switch to the other arm. Also if i have a headache sometimes i massage the bottom of my feet. or you can look up home remedies for a headache. thanks for sharing your Betta tank. I love it. I'm still struggling with mine,

Won't cure a headache, but lessens it. Take your thumb and index finger of your dominant hand and apply pinch pressure to the 'meat' of your other hand in between the thumb and index finger. You'll feel a slight tension release from the headache.

For your headache. Take a decongestant for nose with pain killer. High Pressure can cause headaches. After you take meds chew some gum if you can to help clear things out.

[@FishForThought]

great advice!

[@plushpossum]

I had a HOB that got clogged up because I put filter floss in it and it was running out the BACK of the filter and I had no idea because it was so slow it was being soaked up by the curtain on the window it was in front of! That curtain was soaked!!!!!! It was so heavy!!! Still better than leaking out onto the floor. That is, since I figured out what was actually happening! LOL!!!

[@thatequestriangirl13]

Hey Chris! I’ve had an aquarium since I was a kids but never really was a hobbyist about it. Recently I lost all motivation to try and make it looks good and I feel so bad for the fish😢 they live in an algae filled tank but I just can’t seem to want to do anything about it! These videos def inspire me and I think I’ll go clean the tank to let them live out their life in a nice tank! Then I’ll probably throw everything in the tank away and start fresh with a Walstad tank that has 1 dwarf gourami and few neon tetras, maybe a Cory Dora or other bottom dwellers! The tank is a 10 gal btw so I’m not sure if it would be overstocked with the gourami and neons and Cory Dora’s! LMK your thoughts. Yes I know restarting the tank will make the process longer but I’m like that where I can’t seem to fix stuff if I feel it’s beyond hope I rather just start over and do it right…

[@rageagainstthewashingmachi2877]

So about that skull island king kong fishes? I've seen something very similar in my grandparents village. Similar sized tanks filled with max level fishes and for some fing reason they were all thriving. All they did was strictly clean the tank. Nothing else. Even the plants were healthy af. I genuinely cannot explain that phenomenon. The owner passed away recently so luckily (????) the fishes found new home in a local artificial pond

Weekly tank updates: Kuhlis are still going crazy, and while I was watching this video, I saw spaghetti moving around the plant that I think he’s been unearthing. I’m pretty sure he was doing it again too lol

[@swordwhale1]

We have that giant salamander's relative here in PA: the Hellbender. They are awesome. My favs. They like clear, cold mountain streams (if you can call our rounded little hills mountains). There was one in the Baltimore Zoo that we visited: red light display, lots of rocks and sticks and things... and of course, we couldn't see the salamander. It was hiding. maybe Kyoto just puts the giant bebe dragon on display for a bit then puts it back in a habitat.

[@FishForThought]

ah yes i hope that's what they did, not perma habitat

[@MarnieWithSnakes]

That giant salamander apparently lives in a 20 meter long river biotope tank and the picture is him in his temporary display tank. Apparently that zoo also does great conservation work for said river ecosystems. This is coming from a comment on the post so it could be wrong but I believe them.

my kitchen tank has a bunch of guppies and a giant guppy that might have been a betta once but is definitely a guppy now- every now and then I overfill it and it'll be leaking on my counters and I panic as hard every single time. Terrible feeling. qotw- in university I had a mowhawk that I always dyed a neon red or blue. I have an office-ish job now so I keep it a bit longer and to my own natural very dark brown. I do a fauxhawk with small designs or lines cut in though, and the first week or so after a cut is the best.
