I've had a somewhat of a good run here. But I've seen what I've needed to see, and no it's not just a "few select" members, it's a general consensus among a good chunk of the forum. I've seen what harsh and hateful comments that have been made, and though there are those I know who dont share...

Oooo it's Crazy Rich Asians for me.

Ugh, tell me about it. I haven't been to mine since last September! It especially sucks because they've been hit hard by Covid's economic effects. They're still open though, which is good!

I'd agree with that statement! I personally dont own jewellry, so if I wanted to look dressed up I'd actually have to dress up! :p

Ok? Isn't that obvious? I'm not the one trying to tell you your opinion is wrong? What's the point of bringing it up over and over again?? Responding to you doesn't make less of your opinion? People are allowed to challenge other's opinions, which I wasnt. All I was doing was saying that your...

Yes, I did. Why you feel the need to question that is beyond me. You seem to change your point a lot. I responded to you saying that Rolex watches were barely even functional...which was simply not true. When proved wrong you went on to counter with what seems like "but G-Shock are better than...

....Rolexs are waterproof....to a minimum of 50meters... Again, Rolex was designed to be used for hard work, not for designer purposes, though its quality has elevated it to that sort of audience. Mind you, the Submariner was designed for diving.

I'll take the watch! :p In a way, but it's just more of a collector's item rather than jewellery. I'd have to agree with Deanasue here. It's extremely extravagant, yes. But being more extravagant does not define you as a greedy person. They are very functional.....there's a reason why they...

Please send prosecution towards my snails! :P

That took three days.... :P Well only because of procrastination but it is not easy haha.

(deleted forr personal reasons)

......I was referring to new cars....in which that makes sense. :/ It's also just an average.....

Let's break it down then, shall we ;) : The two watches I mentioned in my post: The Hermes Apple Watch and a Rolex. The Hermes Apple Watch costs around 1,249-1,499 USD, which is definitely less than a car, considering you aren't buying a used car. Rolexes will (obviously) vary, starting from...

Big fan of the rolex! Not a watch person, but I do have an interest for luxury goods so this caught my eye :P! If I were to buy a watch, I'd wait until my finances could agree with me buying a Rolex or such :P. I do know for one that Rolex watches are seen as an investment, but personally those...

Haha, it's quite the popular phrasing in Asia :P!

Nothing could be closer to the truth!

...and now I'm craving some watermelon, or some honeydew bars. :D

Ah then when I run out to the store tomorrow I'll grab it. You're fine lol. So should I get granules, cartridges, or a sponge? And also, should I go pick up some medicines or is that too extra?

Right, so I'm assuming @NCaquatics meant carbon but it came out charcoal, as Activated Carbon makes sense :). So what should I be looking for, what should I using. Any medicines you'd recommend as well?

@NCaquatics went to petsmart and pet supplies plus today, we saw activated carbon but not charcoal?

I'll have to go to PetSmart tomorrow to check that out. Currently not home at the moment, and the shops will close soon (not that I could go anyways at the moment), so if Armani survives the night then definitely.

Do they sell this at pet stores? Where/what should I be looking for?

I've been doing that :)

I did do a total water change last night actually, and can you explain the charcoal?

Update.... I'm totally prepared for the fact that Armani will pass soon. I hope he doesnt, but if he does I'm at peace with it, I'm ok and at peace. Just a matter of acceptance.... Water parameters were the same, lower ammonia and nitrate levels (yay). Took out the tank divider today, removed...

Possibly, bad news is I dont know what it is.

Yes they do. Almond leaves, I can prepare some tannin water. Some bad news tho....Giorgio has passed away. What seems to be a chemical burn at his gills is something I've just noticed. Well....I saw it coming. Something tells me Armani will pass within the week. Splendid....

Worrying update..... Water parameters are the same, but the fish both remained lethargic today. Armani showed some activity, but was on his side, as well as Giorgio. Giorgio takes breaths but then sinks back down, sadly. Armani, somewhat of the same. I noticed that they began swimming on their...

First red flag I see is that you've planted your anubias plants, that'll kill em actually. You should either let them float around or attach them to some driftwood or some decoration. I'll leave it to a more experienced member to help you with that. But welcome to the forum and I hope you enjoy...

Right. On Sunday I did a 90%, yesterday I did a 20%. Is it fine if I continue they daily 20%?

Does this image help? I'm not too sure lol

I do use prime, actually. Can you convert the 300ppm into the values that the API test kits use?

A little update before sleepy time. Did a water change today. Armani seems to be doing better, but still seems week so he's still in the cup. He did eat two bloodworms at feeding time tho! Giorgio ate one, refused to take another. He's been lethargic most of the day as well. Water test results...

Giorgio and Armani are seeming to perk up, but now is the time I turn off their tank lights. I decided to test the water tonight. I'll have to go pick up some RO/DI water from the LFS since my water is hard. PH : 7.6 Ammonia : 0.25ppm (my water is generally like that, so the RO/DI will help...

Right I'll be sure to do that tomorrow.

Quick little update : I've added aquarium salt into the tank. The healthier betta seems to be moving around more now. The sicker one is kind of moping around, some sort of activity.

look who decided to take a breath!

Hi everybody, I come to you today with grim news. I had been putting off a water change for the past few weeks (which we all know is bad but I couldn’t help it, I was so focused on school and balancing that, which was easily 10+ hours of that a day, even on weekends. Waking up late doesn’t help...
