to start this off i am not bitter, just strangely weirded out, i imagined this breakup would hurt me a lot more than it actually did, me (19F) broke up with my now ex (21M) after a two year long relationship, i put up with a lot of shit to say the least, gaslighting manipulation and faulse promises of change. but nothing. nothing but wasted time i could’ve spent doing something productive. i will admit i am a bit adgitated. he came to my house today pleading with me that he “knows im hurt and to stop the act” but truth is, im not hurt. i am happy he is out of my life and i dont give a shit, i don’t care how evil that makes me sound. he didn’t care until now. i just want him to F off out of my life and go away. these feelings have built up the whole relationship and now i just feel like a cadged animal who can’t escape all of this, yes i want to start dating again and putting myself out there to a guy who will actually make me feel loved, but i can’t when he’s hovering over me like a fluffing mosquito. help me aio

Got some tinfoil around the tank to reflect the heat off, just thought i would share a lil life hack to those who also live in the uk right now and are struggling with the heatwave🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

My cat kaia (5F) was sneezing for a while (approx 1 1/2 week) and i thought it was just a temporary seasonal issue, but found this in her nose, with a pus like substance along with it (wiping it away whenever i see it) , i heard her sniffling a day before it appeared. i saw on reddit it could be grass lodged inside but fearful and unsure im taking the safe option and getting her to a vet tomorrow morning! just wondering if anyone has seen this before and what it could be caused by, of course i will find out tomorrow when i visit the vet clinic and will be sure to leave an update. Pray for my babygirl 🤞🏼

Saw this at my local aquatic shop. Never seen axolotls here before, they appear to all be a few months old but cramped together in i would assume a 20-30L tank (not 100% sure) i bought my axolotl online so unsure if this is normal???🤷🏻‍♀️

I recently decided to get into fish keeping as i have had a lot of success with my axolotl pinky in the last year, A lot of research went into cycling tanks. I decided to use my axolotls old tank (85L) to set up a shared home aquarium. i started with cycling the tank (adding dr tim’s ammonia) conditioning the tank with prime and adding live plants, (the majority being java fern, after a couple of weeks i started adding fritz zyme and tested the water with the api testing kit, the results being 0 ammonia, 0nitrite, and 20 nitrate, as well as doing weekly water changes, i then decided to add some schooling fish, 6 of each, neon tetra, green neon tetra, rummy nose tetra. i added them over the course of about 4 weeks. They were thriving, eating well swimming around and doing great, then i decided to add a beta, a long fin male beta. He was beautiful. when i got him he was noticeably pale (1st photo) fins disheveled and altogether unwell hiding a lot , he didn’t eat much which concerened me a lot, after a couple of days i noticed immense improvement, (2nd photo) His colours were improving he was eating, swimming and thriving, filter pressure low, and heater and water temp consistent. i will share a photo of the full tank to add some contex (3rd and 4th photo) but yesterday i was going to feed them as usual, (feeding my beta a diet of aquacare pellets and once a week bloodworms) and i saw him against the filter obviously dead and pale, i feel distraught, this happened in the timespan of one month, i wonder weather i bought him sick or that this was my fault, all my other fish are fine and still thriving, water conditions still well and everything looking fine besides my dead beta. i feel horrible, RIP💔
edit: also wanted to mention the other fish never caused him any stress, he was definitely the boss in the tank
