When you talk about your medical I never consider a rant. I’m always privileged & honoured to hear your medical hardships which only proves the beautiful& super tough person you are. Keep up the good work, Alex.

[@Fishtory]

Appreciate it! I'm just trying to survive the system. 😂

[@SomeoneIusedtoknow-s1f]

As a fellow chronic..... I am so sorry for how your medical care has been handled. Murica...

[@beastfr0meast93]

Damn... your fight is wild. I am impressed that you are still able to put content out 🤟

[@beastfr0meast93]

i have not seen the video to the finish yet. I have linked to a new fish on Discord that you will find pretty :) I have done it so you can break it/leak it :)

[@Fishtory]

Oh cool thank you so much buddy!

[@Christian.Danielsen]

So if you get sick in the US, you have to fight the insurance company and the illness?

[@Fishtory]

More than you can imagine ... automatic A.I. denials were just discovered at united healthcare.... the largest insurer that made 254 BILLION in profits last year.

[@Christian.Danielsen]

​@@Fishtory Sounds like a lukrative business, but not for the "customers"!

[@radenawinsbury1562]

Sorry. I MISSED the reminder.. but will watch anyhow. 😊

[@dellseasandoval8187]

I got my first ever Medaka rice fish. They’re so pretty. I got 5 & one has a faded orange spot towards the tail on the top while the other 4️⃣ have faded orange on the top of their heads.

[@dellseasandoval8187]

Lion 🦁 fish 🎣 yikes 😬. Your pasta singing at the last second made me laugh. Keep up the good work my friend, my fellow Seattleite.

[@Fishtory]

Haha I'm glad you enjoyed the pasta bit! 😂

[@chrishowell4775]

Replay crew here. I think the Pearson was asking about the emperor tetra

[@sghettinona]

Great LIVE. Thanks. Vent as needed. Repeat. 😂

[@Fishtory]

It feels good to vent. So thank you. Hugs

[@SomeoneIusedtoknow-s1f]

Chronic illness being diagnosed should automatically count so many of us as disabled. You're barely older than me. Seeing you struggle even more than I have..... I just can't. I do hope you're able to get what you need.

[@Fishtory]

Well I've been stubborn being on disability, but now for the insurance benefit aspect it opens, I may have to

[@radenawinsbury1562]

I got the notification for this LIVE broadcast this morning at 7am.🙄😒

[@SomeoneIusedtoknow-s1f]

Peroxide does bleach things so like you said, kills everything. But it does work to get particles out of wounds, if you need to get particles out of a wound, peroxide can do it. But you've just gotta be careful.

Morning mate 🙏

[@Fishtory]

Morning!

[@seanyoung7713]

You should look into Mexican dentists across the border in algadones( Arizona border), just as good as American dentists and the cost is astonishingly reasonable

[@Fishtory]

Ive Definitely have had some work down there too!

[@LadyNewgrdia]

Very cute cat!

[@vampgaia]

Our healthcare system sucks. As a pharmacist, I see it every day. I am so sorry this is happening to you. I’m not around much in the lives. I’m living with my Mom who is dealing with a lot of health issues. I could rant for hours about her healthcare issues and dealing with different specialists. At 80, my Mom is mentally fine but physically she’s riding the struggle bus. The amount of people who dismiss her because of her age really pisses me off. Cats are funny and mischievous.

[@Fishtory]

Sorry you have to deal with all that BS daily just to do your occupation

Science should keep you alive for a studying 😎

[@judydawnsmith3877]

Alex how will I know when my 10 gal FF tank is ready to attempt filterless? I have hard water, pH 8.2. nitrates, nitrites and ammonia zero.. Is this going to be problematic? The tank is 6 months old with primarily only top ups. I put in three Cherry shrimp to see if they do ok. They are 3 weeks old. 3 headlamp tetras, 3 neons, two otocinclus, one albino Cory, as well a few small snails from the river. Catappa leaves, java moss, 6 lucky bamboo, moneywort, Hornwort, and some unhappy wisteria. I've had an HOB filter since the beginning. Recently I've started to have protein film on top. I'm thinking I can remove the filter but I'm a little scared😂

[@LadyNewgrdia]

Are you going to be speaking in oregon any time soon?

[@dellseasandoval8187]

Unfortunately every time I try the discord link it always says try a valid link even when less than 12 hours has passed from when the link was posted. Everyone needs to like, subscribe, & share content from Alex.

[@SomeoneIusedtoknow-s1f]

I have to take xolair for mcas, if you can, can you reach out to the biologic company and see if they have copay programs? I know Genentech does i have to use those. I'm so sorry, hearing your pain and struggle with American healthcare... Fills me with so much frustration. You should be able to just get what you need.

[@Fishtory]

Yeah they could get it to 600 with rebates but still... I'm at my limits as it is. I guess, let's hope i blow up like aquarium coop or kg tropicals? lol 😆 ... but anyhow I'm kind of thinking " what happens when youtube doesn't work...it's kinda on the edge of not working for what I need to do with the way they restructured payments ( 20% less). But it's my passion, and my health does better when I'm engaged with something so much, as long as I don't over do it. Thanks for your kindness and support

For details lol

[@SomeoneIusedtoknow-s1f]

God. I'm so sorry. Your insurance is horrendous.... There is no reason that certain diagnosis shouldn't automatically qualify us for disability. Lupus should automatically get you Medicare and disability. This is so wrong.

[@Fishtory]

Thanks for understanding 🙏 I'm sorry you are dealing with something similar as well too!

[@profeturulz8373]

Bro you should have travelled to Europe and fix your teeth on the cheap. Only issue is it could take some time, so your fish would suffer at home. As a romanian those waiting times and prices are crazy. I pay $50 a month +$50 payed by employer and I get all preemtive tests covered for free in the biggest private hospital chain. Waiting times are 2-3 days at most. They don't do big surgeries but with $500/year as an unemployed you could subscribe to the national system and get open hearth surgery for free. At a private clinic is like $8-10k. I also just got a knee RMN for free. No running for me in this life so my fish better not be in imediate danger

[@aquadudeh2o306]

Sorry Alex - your Health System in the US is so Shity! I can understand that you are absolutely Frustrated. Hope the Doctor can negotiate a Deal with the Insurance company. Wish you all the Best don't let them pull you down!

[@Fishtory]

Thank you kindly
