Fish Nerd!!

I was posting too many pictures of my fish (and snails!) on my personal blog so I decided it was time for a fish nerd blog. I love Khulis, Mollys, Snails and my Betta but in general all tropical fish... but not chiclids... eyw. We currently have 5 tanks, 3 community, one Endler breeding tank and one betta and cory tank. If you get a follow off 'aheartsodeep' or a like or reblog that's me on my personal blog, just to confuse you all, I suppose :D

Went to the pet shop the other day and fell in love. This is where having betta's gets dangerous.

Neighbour is going back to work and asked us to baby sit, then came by for something later and realised we had already put air-stones in their tanks. U think it was then that he realised we’d look after them better.

They currently live in bowls but we’re getting a divider made for…

No need to quarantine as I know where they’ve come from. I know they were looked after and had water changes regularly. I also know putting them in the new split tank is better than keeping them in their bowls. Don’t worry, I know what bettas need, Red Fish and Blue (actually has a name but I can’t remember as its a mancity football player) are my 4th and 5th betta’s. Posting a pic of their new set up now.

Actually; there is a need to quarantine them- for at least 1 week. It doesn’t matter where they’ve come from; skipping a quarantine period for fish sharing a tank is reckless & poor husbandry. 

Yes; a split tank of adequate size is generally better than a bowl- your point? Quarantine time should be spent in a heated, filtered, $5 plastic tub/bin or spare tank (at least 5 gallons) - not a bowl or small container.

I’m not worried; you asked if shared/split tanks were okay. You asked for advice. Evidently; I have more experience with divided tanks- please- quarantine them. It’s only 1 week - why make a fuss about it ? Why take the risk ? If you’re unwilling to wait a week- than you really don’t know what bettas need.

What on earth is the difference between putting them in new separate tanks to quarantine them when they were already in separate CLEAN bowls for over 6 months? I don't understand that logic. What is one more week going to prove? That they can live a bowl? Well I already know that. It seems pointless to me and more stress for the fish as I'd be changing its environment. Both fish a sharing a tank now and both seem fine. Red fish is a little weirdo and spends most of his day hiding but he did that when he was in his bowl. Blue fish is remarkably more active and loves swimming through the bubble from the air stone.

Red Fish lives in a cave. Red fish is strange...

Other Fish is a cute fish. Melna, I think is his name? I rather like calling him 'other fish' now though. I'm happy having betta boys again.

[makhuli-blog]

Red fish and other fish new tanks. Redfish lives in the side with the red tree. Red fish isn't very active but hopefully that changes with his better quality of life. He spends a lot of time faced down in his plant. He's an odd fish. Red fish is the oldest. Other Fish (has a name but I forgot), is in the other side and is super active. He likes his new tunnel and spends a bit of time wiggling his fins. I'm happy having bettas again :)

We have two new Bettas

Neighbour is going back to work and asked us to baby sit, then came by for something later and realised we had already put air-stones in their tanks. U think it was then that he realised we'd look after them better. They currently live in bowls but we're getting a divider made for one of our spare tanks. Are bettas ok in a shared/split tank? Any advice? Looking forward to having Betta babes again <3

What if this had been reverse? What if the girl dumped him and then he smashed all of her CDS or her cellphone and laptop? How would society react? By calling him abusive and controlling.

See, female on male abuse is seen as funny or comical. you see those commercials with the wife throwing the boyfriends stuff out the window. IF the genders were reversed, everyone would see it and call it out for what it really is…abuse.

Abuse is not funny in any way shape or form.

This is why we don’t need feminism.

This mother fucker also owes him a fuckton of money.

[jennysjetpack]

thats more than 600$ worth of games!

that’s a fucking felony, theft and destruction of property. call the law on the psycho bitch!

"This is why we don’t need feminism."

Actually, it’s why we DO need feminism. Because feminism isn’t about making women superior and putting men on the bottom. Feminism IS about making everyone equal. The “comedy” behind male abuse is a result of the patriarchy, which is exactly what feminism is trying to destroy. The patriarchy mocks weakness in men, so when men get abused, it’s not taken seriously. It’s a joke, it’s funny, it’s no big deal. “You’re a man, suck it up.”

That’s not what feminists want. If you think that’s what we want, then you you’re not talking to the right feminists. It’s about equality, NOT just reversing the roles, understand?

It’s not okay to abuse women, it’s not okay to abuse men, it’s not okay to abuse ANYONE. That’s the fucking point. The point isn’t “whaa it’s time for women to get to be mean you need to lean your place”. The point is gender inequality is stupid and unhelpful to everyone.

So if you don’t like the way men are treated, don’t hate on feminists. Join them. We don’t like it either.

Thank you.

THANK YOU.

I wish the feminists on this site would all think this way.

[ninjaotta]

all the feminists on this site do think this way. the people who don’t think this way are not feminists

[makhuli-blog]

That! That I agree with. Ok, well most of that. Well, I do agree with that. Man I'm fucking confused. Can a feminist that won't attack me for asking questions and having an opinion please message me? That'd really freaking help.
