Can I skip Odette if my Miko is C6?

I am somewhat torn between pulling for her and saving. I play Sandrone (C0R1) and Miko (C6R1) together and I feel like my team dps is already good enough. I really like both Vesna and Vodyanitsa so I was trying to save as many pulls as possible for them. Do you think Odette is skippable in this situation?

My shrimp has this strange cut on his back

I thought it was a pre molt ring when I got him, but it has been there for 3 months and I am pretty sure he molted already. It looks like a cut and it’s a few mm. deep. What could possibly be the cause?

What am I doing wrong

I put these philodendron brasil in my tank around one month ago, leaving the stem and leaves exposed and keeping only the roots and nodes inside the water.
However, the leaves still feel very limp and they are all curling up even after one month. I really have no idea what to do, I regularly put fertilizer and the flow should be enough so oxygen levels shouldn’t be a problem.

Do you think Yae Miko will remain relevant throughout Snezhnaya?

She is one of my favourite characters and I managed to C6 her thanks to the chronicled banner (she was previously C4). I would like to use her as a dps even outside of Sandrone’s team, do you think she has the power level to remain relevant and complete the hardest game contents even in Snezhnaya?

Is this a decent dps with a C6 Yae?

82s rotation. My Yae is C6R1, Sandrone is C0R0..both with the new superconduct set. Qiqi is C1 and Nicole is C0R0 with the hexerei set. Dunno if there is something I could improve or if the damage aligns with the level of investment

Is my nerite snail’s shell deteriorating?

First pic is with the aquarium light on, second one is with the flash. I noticed that there are a lot of spots on the back that appear lighter compared to the whole shell.

Shrimp missing an eye

At first I thought it was just the lighting but after inspecting, one of the eyes is literally missing and the orb looks smaller than the other one.

Is that a sign of a disease? Or stress? I just got him two days ago but didn’t notice until now.

Do I have too many plants?

I tried to make my 2.6-gallon tank as natural as possible, so I didn’t really do any aquascaping. I mainly positioned the plants and then let them do their own thing. Right now, I only have shrimps and a few snails, including one nerite.

So far, they all seem in good shape but I am wondering if these many plants could possibly survive long term in such a “small” space

Philodendron or Pothos? Help me ID

I got this plant specifically for my fish tank. I asked for a pothos at the store but upon close inspection it looks more like a philodendron to me. I am no expert so can anyone help me identify it?

Help! This plant supplement killed my shrimps overnight

I am so devastated!

I had 5 shrimps in a perfectly planted 10L tank, with no detectable ammonia or nitrite.They were doing fine up until yesterday when I decided to put this in my tank.

I put the right amount of and micro dosed it correctly with a syringe (2.5ml for 125 L, so I put 0.2ml) and yet I woke up with 2 of my shrimps dead and one very lethargic and hidden in the plants. It was very upsetting.

What should I do next? The other 3 shrimps are still alive but I am afraid the might start to die soon. Should I do a total water change?

My mother has ruined my whole university experience

EDIT: Thank you so much for the support <3 it feels so great knowing I’m not alone in this. Thank you all again for taking time to read my post.

I (23M) just don’t know what to do anymore. I feel hopeless about the future, and my relationship with my mom is making my life miserable. A bit of background: I started university in 2021 during the pandemic, when all classes were online. That meant I had to study from my parents’ house. It was honestly one of the worst periods of my life.

My mom would constantly walk into my room, sometimes every few minutes, saying she was “worried” about me because I was home studying all day. She’d tell me I looked ugly, miserable, and depressed. She kept saying I’d fail university, that I was a loser who stayed at home doing nothing, even though I was literally attending classes and trying to study.

If I took a short nap after staring at a screen for hours, she’d insult me for being lazy. She was constantly watching me, telling me to focus, criticizing everything I did. Eventually I completely broke down and ran away to a friend’s house because I couldn’t take it anymore. Ironically, it was the first place where I could actually focus and get work done.

After about a year and a half , I ended up dropping out because I couldn’t keep up under that constant pressure. I eventually started university again, but this time I moved out and got a part-time job so I could support myself. Things improved dramatically. For almost three years I managed to study well, and last year I even completed an internship abroad.

While I was abroad, my mom called me every single day saying how much she missed me and wanted me to come back home. Whenever i would visit during holidays (when I was living alone), she would immediately start telling me to “go back to my house.” She’d pick arguments over nothing, tell me how much she enjoyed not having me around, and even say she wished I had never come to visit.

Now I’m down to my very last exam before graduating. After returning from my internship, I moved back to my parents’ house because I had already given up my apartment.And now everything is happening again. She constantly tells me I look miserable, that I’m going to fail my exam, that she wishes I would leave the house. The constant negativity, yelling, and interference make it almost impossible to study. I’m terrified I won’t pass this exam and will have to retake it in September (it’s gonna be in July).

I feel trapped. If I move away, she bombards me with calls saying she misses me and wants me back. If I stay here, she insults me, starts arguments, and makes me feel like a burden.
I don’t want to drop out again. I’m literally one exam away from graduating after years of hard work and setbacks. But the longer I stay in this house, the more hopeless I feel.

Pet store owner tried to sell me discus food for my neo caridina..

This is a bit of a rant, but I just wanted to fact-check the situation so I know I avoided getting scammed.

I went to a local aquarium shop near my house and asked for shrimp food. I’m a beginner, so I’m definitely not an expert, but I’ve done some research and know that Neocaridina shrimp shouldn’t be fed too much, since they mainly graze on biofilm. In a small tank, overfeeding can quickly become a problem.

The owner told me I was wrong and that my shrimp would starve if I didn’t feed them every day. He also said that algae wafers weren’t ideal and told me to feed them discus food instead because it has “more protein.”
When I questioned that and mentioned that I only have six shrimp in a small 2.6 gallon tank, he said it didn’t matter because they eat a lot and that, even with plenty of plants, they were probably starving.
I honestly just left because the whole interaction felt really weird. He came across as kind of rude, and was more interested in lecturing me than actually helping. Was he giving me good advice, or was he just trying to sell me more food? I never read anywhere that shrimps need to be fed daily, especially discus food. But I could be wrong

Esame successivo prima del riconoscimento Erasmus: è possibile?

Ciao a tutti! Sono uno studente di Lingue Orientali a Ca’ Foscari e sono appena rientrato da un Erasmus. Ho letto il regolamento accademico e gli esami annuali di lingua sono propedeutici, quindi devono essere sostenuti e verbalizzati in ordine per essere validi.

Durante l’Erasmus ho sostenuto l’equivalente della penultima annualità di lingua, ma sto ancora aspettando la verbalizzazione del riconoscimento perché il transcript dell’università dove sono stato è arrivato piuttosto tardi.

Tra una settimana avrei l’appello dell’ultima annualità della stessa lingua. Secondo voi è possibile sostenerlo comunque, anche se la verbalizzazione dell’esame precedente non è ancora stata completata?

Qualcuno ha avuto un’esperienza simile? I docenti, in questi casi, sono disposti a “congelare” il voto e verbalizzarlo solo dopo che l’esame precedente è stato registrato?
Grazie in anticipo!

Possible nutrients deficiency?

I have a 10L tank with some floaters on top, the bioload is very low since there’s only a few bladder snails and 6 neo cardina shrimps. My floating plants are frogbit, salvinia and phyllantus fluitans.

I have yet to use a fertilizer because the tank is very small because I was afraid it could mess up my parameters. However, some of my salvinia is starting to grow very small white leaves, and I am afraid it’s because they sucked up all the nitrates. I did some water tests and the NO3 is always close to 0.

Can anyone recommend a good fertilizer for a nano tank? The other plants in my tank are 2 ceratophyllum, Java moss and one anubias.

What’s wrong with my shrimp?

I got 6 red cherries for my 10L tank a few days ago. My parameters are good: the ph is stable at 7.2. Nitrites are zero and the nitrates (from my last test) are 10 ppm.

One passed away sadly. It was a tiny one, a juvenile, and I found it stuck in my filter.

The other 5 are alive and seem to be doing fine and are grazing pretty much the whole day. However, one of them has these weird spots on its back and legs (as you can see from the picture). It looks like the tail has no color in certain spots and the legs are full of white dots. Could this be some kind of infection?

I hope the picture is clear enough. They move around and, since my tank is heavily planted, it’s hard to take pictures.

My first shrimp tank

I just finished cycling this tank and I added 5 red cherry shrimps. It’s a 10 liters tank, and the size is 20×20×25 cm. If you have any tips regarding the setup let me know, I am a beginner and did some research before starting it but I am still open to suggestions.

I have Java moss, Anubias and Ceratophyllum inside the tank. The floaters are Salvinia Minima frogbit and Phyllantus fluitans.

Will my snails die?

My tank has been cycling for around 2 weeks now. It’s heavily planted and I have yet to see a real nitrite spike, so I guess the cycle hasn’t kicked off yet.
There’s a few snails that just randomly spawned with the plants (physa) and a bigger nerite snail that I accidentally introduced myself, because she was stuck on one of the plants and I didn’t see it.

Should I remove the snails? I am afraid once the nitrites spike, they will die off and pollute the water. Or will they be fine? Can they handle it better than fish?

Is my tank alright?

I started cycling this tank about a week and a half ago. It’s a 10 liter tank I got from a pet store. I don’t plan on getting any fish, maybe a few snails, but I’m still unsure.

I’m just wondering: does it look alright so far? The driftwood is a bit slimy on the surface and the water is very brown and cloudy. Should I be concerned?
