I caught my first IUH on rescue island today, pretty cool. Two horses after that, I caught a naturally dyed… 😅 I know it’s probably not that big of a deal but I thought it would be cool to share. What was your first island unique hair/special hair?
i posted asking about the name of a pride flag and got some of the rudest homophobic replies. people saying it’s not worth my time to learn about them and that people make up the dumbest excuses to put a label on something. i asked for the name of a pride flag. if people didn’t know the answer, they could’ve scrolled right past it. i don’t understand why it triggers people so much what other people do with their lives, it’s just a flag. glad to know i’m not welcome here.
i’m doing a project where I’m painting as many pride flags as i can and putting them on my wall. i forgot to label this one and i tried a google image search, i can’t find right answers anywhere. does anyone know what this is because i genuinely forgot 😭
edit: found it!
also, for the people that came here to be hateful or say something rude, good job being a pathetic loser. you’re not cool for being homophobic, you’re just an asshole. i came on this subreddit to ask a question and got comments being extremely rude and hateful or just giving stupid answers. congratulations, you’re what’s wrong with the world.
these aren’t anything special, they’re the result of me attempting to breed a sooty buckskin. i have two of each, so if anyone likes the new morgans and is interested in these, let me know!
edit: the regular buckskins are still available completely free.
i’m not a huge fan of iuc/iuh horses, or event horses. I’m not picky with offers. If I’m asking for anything specific, it’s shires. Not event or special shires. just common coats that i can breed. if nobody wants to offer for these two, I’ll just end up selling them to Larry. If you want to buy them, i’ll put them in my market with the price Larry offers for them. 20k for the Akhal-Teke, 10k for the Fjord. Comment if you’re interested and I’ll reply with my username so we can trade.
i honestly feel like they’re both switches but i would like to know your opinions.
does anyone have suggestions on what coats i should breed on shires next? and should i change some of the coats in my rainbow shire collection?
GO WATCH IT NOW IF YOU HAVEN’T
Please don’t look at these pictures if you’re squeamish or triggered by deceased animals.
NOTE: HE IS DECEASED. He was not alive when I took him out of the cup and placed him on the towel. I didn’t kill him, he passed away on his own in his tank.
Icee passed away last night. I had him since March of 2025. I made posts prior to this about his condition before he passed. For those of you curious about the photos, this is him before the burial. I have no clue who would be curious about this, but just in case you are, here you go. Check out my account to find the other posts I made about Icee’s condition prior to this.
I’ll shorten this for those of you who just want to know what happened: He accidentally burned himself on his heater, ammonia in the tank from overpopulation of bladder snails and 3 mystery snails infected the wound and he passed.
I am rehoming the mystery snails and doing my best to control the bladder snails. I’ve stopped feeding (except for mystery snails) and I’m just going to leave the tank be for now until I rehome the snails on Monday.
As for Icee, I’ve buried him by my pond where he can forever rest in betta heaven. SIP, me and your brother will miss you. 😢
i won’t include pictures because they might be disturbing, but this is what happened:

icee passed away last night. either from underlying issues or my carelessness. i thought he would be okay. it’s a 5.5 gallon with plants and 3 mystery snails (what was i thinking?). i feel like i could’ve been a more responsible owner and taken the right measures to keep him healthy.
my plan was to move the snails out and to a separate tank so icee would be less stressed but i was too late. thank you to everyone who pitched in to help. I’m so grateful to all of you that tried to solve the problem with me. from here i will learn from my mistakes and move forward as a better person and fishkeeper.
side note: I’m not a beginner in fishkeeping, specifically with bettas. i got icee in march of 2025 and he’s only had issues until about a month ago. just wanted to clear that up.
RIP Icee. me and your brother will miss you. 😢
enjoy a 20 second video of me bathing my boys in the morning.

i don’t know what’s going on with the top of his head but the scales on his side are completely white! could it be heater burn or something else? also noticed that he’s breathing really hard, not moving as much and looks thinner. he just lays sideways and doesn’t move. i test my water regularly, everything looks fine. what’s wrong with my baby?
quick edit: i’ve turned off his heater just now and I’m gonna trim the plants so he has less things that could be a potential hazard.
i was pet sitting for a client and got to hold the sweetest baby chick ever. didn’t fight when i picked it up, didn’t start screaming or anything. just accepted fate and fell asleep on my shoulder
