Boomer on a plane

6 hours into a 16 hour flight, I’m roused from that not-quite-sleep/not-quite-awake airplane trance by the boomer next to me. He’s got a movie playing on the seat back screen, plane headphones on, phone out at full brightness (in a dimmed cabin), & watching Instagram reels at full volume.

Fortunately, the airline had a little packet with an eye mask and earplugs, but I could still hear the audio until I sandwiched my head between the pillow & the blanket.

When meal service came around, he actually had AirPods in… so why wasn’t he using them in the first place??

Quentin’s beard… really?

Like, it’s really one of the worst fake beards.

It’s in my top 3 episodes, but I just can’t get over the beard they decided to give Q.

How do I keep my cories from uprooting my stem plants??

Like the title says… how to I plant the stem plants in a way that the cories won’t uproot? I’ve tried using the plant weights to keep them down, but the stems are so fragile that they break when the cories are rooting around them.

Do I use rocks? Something else?? What do you all do/use??

Help for inflamed scales?

Parameters: chlorine = 0, nitrite =0, nitrate = 25, & pH = 6.8.

So, this is Lil’ Bubly. About a month ago, I noticed he was injured along his right side (that’s the second picture). There’s nothing in his tank other than java ferns & driftwood, and the sponge filters, so I don’t know how he could have hurt himself other than maybe wedging himself between the glass and one of the sponges?

So, I did a 50% water change, then a series of Kanaplex treatments (dosage according by tank size, every other day, for a total of 3 doses), & he started improving immediately. Two days after the last dose, I did a 50% water change, and he looked completely back to his old self.

Just a few days ago, I noticed the inflammation was back, so I’m re-doing the Kanaplex routine, but I want to know A) what is happening, & B) what else to treat him with, because the Kanaplex just seems to be soothing it, not curing it.

So, help please! Any info would be greatly appreciated!
