Just bought her and she’s dying what do I do?

Ok she’s not dead yet, but she’s just sinking to the bottom, she’s breathing and flapping her fins but that’s all. She’s only in a jug right now because idk what it is that’s causing this. she hasn’t been put in the tank yet, only acclimated and added a bit of tank water after 20 mins of getting used to the temperature. The other girl that I got is completely fine and has been added to the tank. Please let me know if there’s anything I can do to help her!
If you need any other information just let me know!

I messed up..

Well I guess pets at home did, but also me…I love Mollys..(I’m sure you all know where this is going now) I originally only had 2 and I thought they were both female…I was wrong. I’m pretty sure the female is very pregnant. I just got 2 more today because I read that it’s good to have 4-6 Mollys…THEY GAVE ME A BOY AND A GIRL BECAUSE THEY KEEP THEM IN THE SAME TANK!! Now my original male is instantly mating with my female, or at least I’m assuming that’s what he’s doing, his anal fin keeps like moving? Towards the new female. I’m definitely going to go get more females now as I read that it’s like a rule of 2-3 females for every 1 male.

Would it be cruel if I just let the babies do their own thing? I won’t purposefully kill any ofc. But would it be ok to just leave them and if they get eaten they get eaten, if they survive then I’ll love and cherish them..I feel evil saying this but I never expected to be breeding Mollys. I hope to breed guppies in the future (the FAR FAR future) but I’m still new to all this, so what should I do?

Fish go crazy at dinner time

So I’ve noticed recently my fish have developed a routine (which is great, I’m autistic so my fish having a routine is great and matches mine!) I feed them at 10 every night and they have figured this out and get super excited around 9-9:30 they start shooting around the tank and only calm down after I’ve fed them! Is this the same for others?

Also a new development! My fish are eating out of my hands and love coming up to suckle on my fingers, tho I am slightly worried it’s due to not having enough food, but I’m also scared to over feed. I put in 1 algae wafer once every 2 days for my algae eaters and occasionally put in a slice of cucumber. For my other fish they get a decent sized pinch of flakes.

Is this normal? if not is it bad? Does anyone else’s fish do this?

Idk if I’ve broken my toe

(Please excuse my hairy toes and the free feet pics)

20F

So I have just slammed my toe under a door 😀 it’s 00:30 and I’ve just had to stifle a scream coz omg this hurts so much. It’s been about half an hour now and the pain is just as bad as it was when it first happened. The bruise immediately formed, I’m talking like in the time it took me to punch every surface around me and looked down to see the damage it was there. I’m currently elevating it in case, this might be the worst pain I’ve ever felt in a toe. I’m obviously no medical professional and overthink a ton so idk if my toes actually look to be in a weird position and swollen or if I’m just seeing things. I’ve never broken a bone before so I have no clue what it feels like.

I don’t want to waist the hospitals time if it’s just a really sore bruise. I can’t really think properly right now so if there’s any information needed please just lmk🙏

Slight update the pain is now going up the bottom of my foot

What’s wrong with my Bettas arm fin?

So we got Edward and 2 other bettas (Johnny and jack) a couple weeks ago all from the same breeder and the other 2 are completely fine. They are all in separate tanks. Edward is in a tank with some guppies, an albino corydora and a marigold catfish, we had issues with biters before we got the bettas but the biters have been rehomed, so it can’t be them. At first I thought it was fin rot but it looks nothing like the pictures I’ve seen of it. He still had his fin yesterday it just looked a little small, but it’s progressed so quickly and this is how it looks today (the photos). He’s fed plenty and even got his first bloodworms from us today. The water is perfect (I’ve done a test today) and we clean regularly, a 10% water change weekly and a 25% once a month. There’s plenty of soft places for him to rest including some driftwood and plants (he loves those 2 things the most). We are getting really worried about him as he’s resting a ton too, he moves around to different places but then goes straight back to resting.

Please if anyone knows what this is let me know and how I can help him!!

TW: self harm

It started back when I was 14 (I’m 20 now) I was at my lowest point with my mental health and was self harming daily, sometimes multiple times a day (that alone is a confession for me 😂)
Due to depression and to ground myself when I was overstimulated (✨autism✨) to ground myself. One day I accidentally spilt a bunch all over myself, it was on my arms, hands and even my legs. Naturally I let it dry so it would be easier to get off. I spent 2 hours peeling it off…I loved every second. I wasn’t thinking about anything else, just the sensation of peeling of the glue with a slight burn from pulling up a little skin too. After I’d got it all off the patches were it had landed were bright red and raw, no blood or anything it was kind of like a carpet burn.

After that when I got to the point were I thought I was going too far with other stuff I would just pour it on my hands and peel away. I still do it to this day, I have scars from where I itched scabs too much but I just told people it was from my cats (cliche I know). TBH it’s stopped me from properly self harming numerous times, tho I guess it technically counts as self harm? Idk I just love the feeling and how quickly it takes my mind off things.

Put on some of those Minecraft Reddit stories, pour on the glue, be in peace.

I have never told anyone about this, not even my friends and we share some DARK secrets with each other😂

Anyways nice to have this off my chest. Tho I don’t encourage doing this as not only is it self harm but inhaling lots of nail glue isn’t good for you either, plus I gross myself out with it. My hands look like I have a rash going on which isn’t very fun…

Thanks to a previous post someone helped me with being able to recognise what’s a scam…but now I just keep getting scam emails 🤦‍♀️ I keep getting excited thinking I’ve got an order but then it’s just scam 🥲 any way to stop these emails? I’m blocking and reporting all scam emails but I’m still getting them. Anyone else had this issue and been able to fix it?

I HAVE READ THE RULES AND COULDNT FIND IF THIS WAS A SCAM THROUGH THE LINK GIVEN!!

So apparently I just got my first order, but the notification came through an email from supabase auth. the link took me to this website which is apparently an Etsy listing form. It says that my shop has been paused and I have to verify my payment details but then said my account needs to have £300 in it for the verification to work. So I need to make sure this is actually a real thing before I do anything.

My first thought was that it was just a bad case of razor rash when it first happened. But this specific time i remember being itchy and having the little dot cuts on my legs before shaving. I get especially itchy at night, so idk if the heat could be affecting it? There not spots, there definitely cuts as they bleed almost immediately when i itch (which im trying my best not to do). I do have eczema on my chest and arms and have had it since i was a baby but I’ve never had it on my legs so could it have spread? I’m not massively worried as I’m not in pain I’m just very itchy and keep bleeding, plus ITS SUMMER AND I DONT WANNA HAVE TO WEAR PANTS ALL THE TIME TO HIDE THIS!! Also the scratches are from my cats, which I think I have a small allergy towards but my fexofenadine helps with the symptoms I get from them, so I think that’s unrelated. Any suggestions for what this could be or how I can stop the itching is appreciated!
