has anyone here got a snail from tofus tanks?

i’ve placed an order for a mystery snail, the shipping was only 10$ which kinda made me feel a little sus about it so i’m asking if anyone here has ordered one and how it arrived if it was healthy etc etc? i only saw a few reviews under the listing but they were all positive. the shipping says 3 days though.. most live fish require 1 day but i’m not sure if that transfers over to snails.

EXTREMELY mean quail. can i keep her alone?

this quail is just so damn mean, she can’t get along with ANYTHING. i had to seperate my male, and females into seperate cages because she scalped them. i’m starting to think she might be the one who needs seperated, because she’s so insanely aggressive to litteraly everything and i can’t get her to stop. i feel like she honestly just needs to be by herself, because she’s severely injured/scalped everything that’s been in the cage with her, but i know so many people down on keeping them alone which is why im posting to ask. i feel like it’s safer overall for her to be alone if she’s this aggressive to everybody, like she just hates them all. i took this picture after pulling her off one of the last uninjured flock mates head. i have no clue why or how she scalped my male either.

eating year old frozen pizza rolls

i’m eating pizza rolls that have been in my deep freeze for a year, they have a sharp sour tang but i’m desperate and starving. what should i prepare for? gemini ai says throw them out immediately because they’re spoiled, but i’m so hungry it doesn’t even matter to me. should i expect nothing to happen at all, or expect to be shitting my guts out the next week? they’re just cheese totinos pizza rolls. i’m honestly not sure how long they’ve been in there. but it’s longer then 6 months less then 14.

new pet i guess..

no clue how, but a wild spider now lives in a fish bowl i was storing pencils in. i thought they only lived outside, but gertrude seems to love it in here and i drop feeder roaches and worms in there for her. figured i should share here, because she’s pretty cool. i woudl get her a big bio active enclosure and all that jazz, but she’s comfy in the bowl and i don’t have any spares so she can stay here. (courtesy of my guppies suddenly dropping 80 fry after a drought where i was only getting 4 per brood, i had to use my spare tanks for the babies.) she’s made an awesome home for herself in here.

re-dying my hair, how do i go about it?

ok, my fav hair was when i had it dark with one super light stripe. i did it at home, but when i did it i dyed my whole head black first and then bleached the strand. i do NOT wanna put bleach over fresh box dye, it didn’t cause issues last time i just don’t wanna risk it again. back then, it was a bob but its longer now. how do i do this without getting dye on the strand i wanna bleach or bleach on the black? photo is me with the hair im talking about. also, id definitely go to a salon if i could afford it but i cannot and this is my signature fav hair, but now its all like ugly and faded and grown out and just… icky. ive dyed my hair with box dye a LOT and never had any issues tho, its always been super healthy regardless.

my grandma won’t let me get another hen what should i do

i have a trio i hatched, 2 females one male. one of the females and the male have been harrasing the smaller hen. i have a quail specific farm an hour away and i wanted to go pick up another hen in hopes this would help the issue, but my granmda will not let me. i dont know what to do about it, do i just keep hatching their eggs once they start laying until i get an extra hen? i feel so bad for my poor cherry. she then suggested i should just get rid of ALL of my birds and just keep one because they will be much happier alone despite them literally being FLOCK birds.. and the male isn’t acctualy harrasing either that much honestly, it’s just june constantly mounting cherry and im worried she will end up getting scalped by her. (june is indeed a female, she has a pharoh pattern with one tiny white spot on her neck but very speckled and she has been vent sexed.) they’re also about 5 weeks old. i dont know how to explain to my grandma this is necessary. cherry is a fawn type colour, she’s light brown all around and has one white feather throughout her body and brown subtle stripes on her chest. i have my incubator still, and i also hatch chicken eggs on the side as a hustle so hatching their eggs until i get another hen is acctualy possible for me, as im very good at hatching in general i just dont know if its a better idea to do that or continue trying to get my grandmother to understand that they need another lady so cherry doesn’t get hurt to much by june.

my first store baby

i have no idea how i’m gonna get rid of this one, its so insanely sweet. i’ve hatched a lot of quails, these have been the fastest eggs i’ve seen proceed to hatch in such little time between rests. i think i might keep 2, the plan i had was to hatch and sell them but ive grown attatched to my first feathered heir, and i already had plans to keep the one that hatches out of the green egg. if you haven’t been following along, which i doubt you have been i will explain. i bought these eggs at a flea market, they were sold as organic yummy chicken eggs but when i brought them home and cracked one open it was fertile so i put the rest in the incubator and welll… ive had one hatch and 4 more in the process.

nobody told me these fuckers swim

i was cleaning the cage as usual, had them on my bed and 2 flushed up, june and this dude. june landed in front of the tank, but he was not so lucky. he landed litteraly right in my fish tank, thankfully it’s heated to 82 degrees so not to cold but then when i went to retrieve him he started SWIMMING. nobody told me they SWIM. cherry was on the bed like the precious princess she is, listening perfectly while the two terrors were flying and reaking havoc on my room😭 june landed in front of my other tank which houses my elderly betta and scared the crap out of him, because he’s never seen the birds.

why do people keep telling me my tank is abusive

i’m posting here because i’m so confused, and im getting message threats now. i have a 7 gallon, sponge filter, fully natural, and planted for my male baby betta.(he’s more juvenile, his fins are already really big.) i’ve gotten messages making fun of my appearance, calling me a fish abuser, threatening to dox me, and telling me to kill myself. i have 11 bettas, and im a guppy breeder. (previously bred bettas aswell, but i was spending a lot of money on imports and high quality fish and time while not making anything at all only losing, it was fun and i really loved it but it just wasn’t feasible so i switched to guppies instead since they’re semi similar and i also love keeping them and have for 7 years.) im genuienly so confused i mean, yea the tank doesn’t have a heater right now but it has a tempature thermometer which never fluctuates at all and stays at 78, i dont use heaters until it becomes fall/winter because that’s when the temps drop and tend to fluctuate, making it necessary where i live. it also has a sponge filter, does nobody have anything better to do? my fish is perfectly fine. i check the parameters every THREE DAYS with my liquid test kit and nothing has ever been off, his behavior is fine to. ive never once put a betta in anything less then 5 gallons, or anything that’s not up to standard for care and beyond. my tanks meet every single care requirement and more so why the hell am i getting messages calling me abusive and making fun of me? i’ve had to delete so many comments because i keep getting asked the same question over and over again or called abusive. this is honestly so petty and childish, if i WAS being abusive that’s still not okay you still shouldn’t threaten to dox people or tell them to kill themselves over it. i’ve never came across this issue on reddit, the post wasn’t made on reddit either but i’m asking here because im very experienced with bettas, ive researched probably everything their is to research and more, i dont have much experience with sickness/injury tho since ive never had a betta get sick on/because of me or hurt because im super careful with my scape layouts and quarintine periods, ive only really felt with fin rot in 2 of my modern extreme fin males that i have right now but this tends to be a good place to ask questions and not get told to kill yourself for doing so. it has mostly mini lotus, floaters, and anachris but it wasn’t feeling planted enough for my taste so i ordered some more after looking through a bunch and still not seeing much that fit the vision, but i did find some after about 2ish hours of searching.

i’m being stalked, i don’t know what to do.

i’m 16, i dated this guy whose also 16 for about 2-3 years. within that time, he sa’d and pressured me into doing stuff i didn’t want to, i never had physical proof so after we broke up i blocked him on everything assuming tht would fix it. i was wrong, really wrong. he messages me every single month since, sometimes multiple times a month from different accounts that don’t use his name, and deletes them after i see the messages so it can’t be traced back. i’m not sure what to do amymore,, i want to get a restraining order but i dont know his address right off hand or his number since we never communicated with that and he always came to my house. is their anything i can do? he’s a really good manipulator, even if the proof is slapping you right in the face he can still manipulate so good he convinces you its either untrue or he’s the victim. i know im not the only victim of him, his previous girlfriend was abused way longer then me 15 times worse and we planned to take it to court but after she gave birth she changed her mind and got back together with him, so it’s just my word against his now. all i have proof of is a few messages that i’ve screenshotted but the accounts have been deleted now, i never got a rape kit because i never told anybody until months later.

my cat saved my dads cats kittens

my cat was supposed to be spay aborted, but she gave birth prior to her appointment to silent babies. were rescheduling it, but i know this has been hard for her so i want to let her adjust for at least a few weeks before taking her to have another potentially traumatic moment. her next appointment will likely be next month, my dads cat he brought in was extremely underweight and tiny and looked like it had been raped by another cat and bleeding out of her private area (which i know is their mating process, it’s violent) but she was so tiny my dad assumed their was no way she could be pregnant. after nursing her back to health, my dad assumed it safe to continue putting meat in her bones until any surgeries. she ended up getting really big which my dad assumed was just from the food and treatments he had given her, none of us knew until very late in her pregnancy because she was kept in the basement until that point. she ended up giving birth to 5 kittens, stopped feeding them at about 4 weeks and they were extremely tiny and undersized after besides one who she was still feeding. my cat had given birth to still borns about 2 weeks after she stopped feeding hers, and began letting my dads cats kittens nurse. this has been truly amazing to watch, she basically saved these kittens lives. they were so undersized and struggling to gain weight i throughly they were going to die and now they’re at a completely normal size for their age and my cat seems very happy that she has something to take care of aswell, soon she will go in to the vet to be fixed with my dads cat but that’s not the focus of this post, and i don’t want it to be. i want to make this post to praise my amazing cat for being such an amazing mother to babies that weren’t even hers after she went through something so horrible and lost her own. she’d probably make an awesome foster mom cat, but since i will be getting her spayed she won’t lactate.

my brothers cat got into my room knocked a box into my transport pot and killed half of my guppies i was supposed to refund a buyer. what do i do?

i had my door open because it’s hot as shit and our central air isn’t working so i had a fan in front of the door, a buyer reported that i shorted them 2 guppies twice. i’m not sure if that’s true because i meticulously count and check before drop off and i checked both times, netted them
individually and logged each fish into my notebook of sold fish by name but on the off chance they’re right and i did, i still decided to do the refund. i put them in my transport pot the night before so they wouldn’t get fed with the rest and went to sleep. woke up to my bedroom being completely trashed and a box inside the transport pot. i had drawn on this box with markers, im pretty sure they leaked into the water and killed 3/6. i’m not sure what to do because all the rest i have are still newborn, and if they’re that small i could be told i shorted them again if they don’t notice they’re in their. i really dont want to get one from my breeding tank either because i spent between 7-15$ on each of them and i only charge my guppies at 75 cents to 1 dollar. i also included 3 extras free of charge the first time, so im not sure how i could’ve shorted them but i still don’t want to dissapoint anybody because ive JUST started this business, having a shortage weather its true or not could really harm it before it even gets off the ground. i logged each fish by name, i name every single one before they’re sold so i can log them properly which is why im so confused on how this happened.
