Fertilising moss?

I understand moss needs potassium, phosphorus, nitrogen as well as trace minerals etc. what would the best way to fertilise this moss be? It's superglued onto plastic. Various hypnales mosses. Can I use fish water? I just sprayed with distilled as it was dry but not sure what to do from here tbh

Harvested some water lettuce from my outdoor ranchu pond. Put them in in winter eventually no light was getting through. Still got half a pond + 2 more bags. Gorgeous stuff

Finally got a light for my pond plants

The houseplants have been growing with the window light but the window light didn't penetrate enough into the pond to grow pond plants, now I can get some 😁

red piranha putting out smaller traps?

I assume the 50w lighting isn't an issue considering the deep red colouration in all of the traps. Could this be a fertilizer issue? It has only caught 1 fly by itself despite its best efforts so I've been feeding a liquid carnivorous plant fertiliser that states it's for fly traps as well as pitchers. I use a dropper on the new traps when they open I don't fertilise the soil. It's putting out a new trap every week or so and it's developing a bunch of little babies. It seems as though it's growing perfectly fine and has the energy to put out traps but the traps are just small. Any ideas?

Had an MRI for possible MS found out my back isn't doing great. Anything I can do to help myself

Had MRI for leg numbness due to family history of MS. MRI found that 2 of my discs are touching but nerves aren't being pinched. This is probably a combination of my height as I'm 6'8 and unlucky genetics as my mum, grandad and sister have the same problem. I assumed I was going to have back problems at some point but its progressing quite fast. I can't seem to do anything now without throwing my back out. I'm yet to see a doctor about this specifically because they're focused on finding out whether I have multiple sclerosis still but from what my mum has told me there's not much they can do besides surgery, which she has had. Do you agree with my mum? If not do you have any advice on how I can take care of my back better? Of course once MS is ruled out I'll have my back checked out properly but it's the least of my concerns at the moment. Just looking for advice since it's been confirmed my back is fkd. Thanks

My first ever fly trap, red piranha

Bought this guy as a 2 leaf plant and it has been progressively putting out redder and redder leaves. Finally got my first fully red trap and my god is it red. Also got some little babies coming through. Something keeps setting off the trap that is closed but it seems to be evading the plant every time. I use liquid carnivorous plant fertiliser and a 50w light

What's your favourite brand of pickles/gherkins?

On a bit of a pickle kick at the moment and trying to find the best possible pickle. Not a fan of sweet pickles I like sour with a bit of crunch but I will try all pickles recommended

Will have fish available for £1 each in a few weeks (SE UK)

This isn't a breeding for profit thing I just have about 120 babies of which I'm only keeping less than 10. Mix of yozakura gold and blues with potential long fin parents. There are also fish that were a cross of yozakura and platinum but I'm keeping all the whitest ones for myself. 2 of my breeding males are long fin yozakura and 1 is regular short fin yozakura so no guarantee of recessive genes but if you buy enough you've got a good chance. If anyone's interested I'll post videos of the parents and babies. Babies are ranging between 3-4 weeks at the moment and have started to develop nice lamé down their spine. If you're interested shoot me a DM and I'll reply when I've done my final picks
