Absolutely livid I messed up his tunnels

Had a fungus gnat outbreak in his tank and I had mix in some more play sand and make sure the existing substrate was sprayed down with some mosquito bit water. Safe to say my demise is being plotted.

Stress or sleepy?

I rarely take out my fire skink but when I do he usually closes his eyes and even moves around with one of his eyes still closed. Is he just comfy/sleepy or stressed?

Confused about tank cycle

Currently cycling a 20g, been running it for around 3 days.

It has one HOB filter with media from an already established tank. I’ve also rinsed 2 smaller sponge filters in the same media. I plan on eventually removing the HOB.

Yesterday, all of my readings came back good, so I added an ammonia source (fish food) to see what happened. Today, numbers still look good.

Do tanks using previously cycled media usually cycle this fast? Does this mean it’s fish safe?

I plan to wait a few weeks anyway, but I was just curious.

Shortness of breath post scalenectomy

As title says, having issues with shortness of breath 3 months post-op.

Having issues going up stairs, talking for long periods etc.

Was warned by my surgeon that there was a potential risk involving my diaphragm that would lead to this, but I assumed he would know if this occurred and would tell me after surgery.

Is this normal?

What’s wrong with my horned nerite?

My snail has been normal all day except for the last few hours. It is all shriveled up (at least it looks like it). I have a peaceful betta but I’m wondering if he had a moment of sadism and hurt my snail.

Phone: 299.3mbps

Laptop: 6.05mpbs

I have no idea how to fix this. It’s not my wifi, it’s my laptop.

PMR - what to expect?

PMR scheduled for september 30th. What can I expect for recovery? Already went through a scalenectomy so I imagine it can’t get much worse but I’d love to hear about other people’s experiences.

Snail ID

This tiny snail was in the bag with my shrimps and horned nerite. Is it a baby nerite? Is it harmful?

[GA] Peoria, Arizona - $0 - Nerite Snails x2

If anyone wants to locally grab some free nerite snails. My tank cannot support them, I know they are not particularly exciting but I figured I’d ask locally before I give them to a store.

Is this dead or just melting?

I’m not sure what plant this is, I think it’s moneywort? I planted it Friday and I know plants melt when they’re replanted, but this dude just looks exceptionally terrible. I can’t tell if it’s dying or just melting. Please ignore Steven he likes to hang out in there.

Can a reptile tank be used as a fish tank?

My friend gave me a 10 gallon tank previously used for a reptile. Since no reptile can humanely live in a 10, I thought about using it for some fish. I read that reptile tanks and fish tanks are often assembled differently, and that a reptile tank can burst from water pressure. Does anyone have any experience with this? I did try to look for the brand of the tank to investigate further, but I can’t find any branding on the bottom.

My new fish, Steven Spielberg

I’m very excited about Steven Spielberg, he already looks very bright compared to when we got him. Please ignore my plants they are trying their best to establish.
