hmm I’m sorry I don’t have any idea.

Nice that you go back in September. Sucks that you have uniforms at all Though.
 
School starts in August for me. :’)

Sorry for disappearing again. I pretty much all of June was super duper busy. I’m tired.

Replies to old things:
To those of you who are Gravity Falls, Amphibia ect. types, just yes. Those are my favorites, and most of the tv I watch.

anD OVER THE GARDEN WALL omg
OTGW is my favorite show. I love it sm. For all that it is. Fyi, my personality is a combo of Dipper, Mabel, Wirt, and Greg.

Stranger Things is a total vibe tho, I am the last person who people would expect to like it, but idk. I like the mystery, the vibes, and the characters/cast chemistry are just delightful.

Also I have read PJ and am about to read another Rick Rordian book, 39 Clues.

I'm dying right now. don't take this seriously, but there's so many mosquitos where I live. I probably have 100+ mosquito bites rn. Theres so many in our house as well, even though we were gone the whole day, and there weren't any open doors or anything. This is so frustrating. how about you guys? do you have a lot of mosquitos?

100+ might be a bit much. probably more like 70

A lot here in Singapore. There are like 100+ dengue cases in my area rn. Normally there are more mosquitoes in like trekking areas where my mother force me to trek at.
 
I am basically a walking mosquito magnet but thankfully this year they all seem to be a bit too busy burning in 100+ degrees to be biting me (much) :)
 
would you guys say you are 1/3 of the mosquitos parents, because they wouldn't have hatched without your blood? lol, sorry for the silly question

Thats like wondering if fish feel wet all the time. Or similar to the fact that pop tarts are ravioli and waffles are just pancakes with abs. I will now not sleep for a week or two.

But the parents passed their genetic information down to their young right? So we are not parents. If you think this way aren't animals and plants and other stuff that we eat our part parent too? Imagine a mushroom and a salmon being your parents.


By the way, I got covid. No symptoms rn and just chilling at home. I get to wake up late, that's the best part!!! Going to miss english supplementary class tomorrow which is great as my english teacher sucks. But I'll be missing art on fri too, that's sad. We are going to be doing electronic art and I am going to miss that :( My class already missed art for the last two weeks because of some events.
 
Have any of you thought about what you’ll do with your tanks, especially 30+ gallon tanks, when you go to college? I have a moderately planted 40 long and I just don’t know what I’m gonna do with it.

I’m probably going to sell off most fish and keep 1-2 groups of fish I adore.

No idea yet. I’m like 6 years away from college so I’m not going to think about it just yet. Maybe I’ll just go to NUS. It’s quite a good school and since Singapore is so small I can live at my own house and go to college.
 
Been I while since I've posted on this thread and I've had a cut ( not bleeding) on my finger and I did wc and other maintain everything wad fine no health issues
 
i have no idea. One of my fish is very sick right now (no clue with what) and this morning i woke up with an awful headache/super dizzy and ended up throwing up before my game after messing with that tank..also ate a hotpocket right after without washing my hands. also have a few large open cuts that i couldve possibly wiped water on?

I honestly don't think that fish diseases really harm humans. I haven't done any research tho

I’ll keep my tanks. I’m going to go to a local college so I can dorm there then come home on weekends to do water changes and water tests. Plus my dad helps with tank maintenance, and my little sister also loves fish and says she wants to own a Glofish and Corydora tank when she gets older. As she gets older she may realize Glofish aren’t good and get a colorful beginner fish like guppies,platies, tetras, etc.

cool. how old is your sister? you obviously don't have to answer if you don't want to.

What was your guys first fish you've kept? mine were zebra danios. They pretty much all ended up deformed or sick when I re-homed them, but I did learn how to keep fish from them. Ive never kept bettas, guppies or other beginner fish like these. I don't know why

She’s turning 8 in a couple months. She’s very invested in my fish keeping, she even made up a game called fish-school where I am the teacher and I have to teach her everything about the fish I keep, their food, their natural diet, care, etc. Then we did this project, she made her dream tank, it was 15 corycats and 50 glow fish in a 150 gallon. I’m sure that will change.


The first fish I kept was like 6 mollies in a 20 tall. I didn’t know much about cycling, I dropped the dosing of quick start, waited for algae to grow, then added fish. They honestly lasted a while especially being on low quality food (Aqueon flakes). I added like 3 platies and a swordtail a couple weeks later, and a Molly died. A couple weeks later I added 3 cories who all died. A week or so after that most of my fish except for one swordtail died. It was that one swordtail for a while. I didn’t know what was wrong, I had no test kits. Looking back I’m sure it was Ammonia poisoning. The story was kept in that condition along with low quality food for a while, I still have him but the poor little guy is stunted. He’s still happy as ever, swimming around being goofy and trying to mate with his female swordtail friends. Also, don’t worry, I have the hang of it now. I have 4 female platies, 3 swordtails, and I am growing out 6 fry right now! I’m planning to keep 2-3 of them (females only) The father of both of these fry batches I believe is a dead fish. He sadly passed after my cat knocked down a bottle which knocked my heaters plug, it got too cold and then warmed up, he got stressed and caught a disease, passed away a couple days later. Tragic but he brought at least 6 lives into the world! I’m sure others were born, I found 1 fry days after it was born (different batch), 4 the day they were born, and 1 the day after it was born (same batch as the 4)

Sounds like a fun game. Having a 150 gallon tank as the first tank ever would be crazy cool probably.

I'm sorry about your fish loss. The first algae eater that ive ever kept were Chinese algae eaters. I bought them off pet smart thinking they were siamese algae eaters. a few months later I realized I kept the fish in a too small of a tank, and tried to sell them. no one wanted them, so I had to give therm to a pet store

She doesn’t have the 150 gallon tank, but she drew it on paper. The paper is sitting on her “desk” which is really just a shelf that I put a piece of cardboard over so she could write. Although I’m sure if my parents let her she would go straight for the 150 gallon with Glofish and cories, and then I’d be stuck taking care of that tank, lol. She’s pretty lazy and since she’s the youngest and I’m the middle I’m usually stuck with her messes. We share a room, I keep my side clean, and then on hers there are toys everywhere and I have to clean it. She drops something, I have to pick it up. So I assume it’ll be the same with fish. She picks them out, and I’m stuck with tank maintenance and feeding. (Not that that’s bad)

Still 4-5 years away from college but I think my parents will look after whatever fish I still have then. I hope so anyway as some of my current fish might still be alive then...

What was your guys first fish you've kept?

I kept a betta as my first fish (I've still got him).

Just to say you don't have to read all of what's below as it's mainly me ranting about what's going wrong in my big tank.
Ok so here's what's been happening recently in my 180 litre:
Just before I went camping for a week one of my Corydoras died after gasping at the surface and losing control of its swimming direction (probably swim bladder issue). I treated the whole tank with fluke solve before I went away as I saw some of the other Cory's showing the same symptoms. Got back and only 2 out of my 5 remaining Cory's were still alive. Luckily my last 2 haven't shown any of the symptoms yet. The Cory's were fairly new to the tank.
I've experienced almost the exact same thing before when I first got Cory's in my smaller tank. They were all ok for a few weeks. Then 1 started gasping/having difficulty swimming and then the rest followed suit and I only had 2 remaining.
So now I'm left with 2 Cory's in each of my tanks (2 adults from the first time and 2 young ones from the most recent). I have no idea why these ones survived and I don't want to put them all together in case the same thing happens again. Luckily the first time the other fish in the tank were all ok, and so far so good currently. It's just safe to say that I will not be attempting to keep Cory's again for a while, which is quite sad as they were the first fish I loved when doing research and I was even planning on having a whole tank set up for them when im older (also wanted to have a job with them at one point)

Did you do an Ammonia/nitrite test? I don’t know if that’s the exact cause but that sounds like what my mollies had when there was a ammonia spike. They would sit at the bottom, seemingly gasping for breath, and then spin to the top of the tank or swim up like they are fighting something, take breaths at the surface and then sink back down to the bottom.

Edit: They also died off one by one, as if it only affected one fish at a time.

Thank you, I'll do one of those soon!! Although it's just odd as it is only the corys

Well it really depends what the other fish are in the tank. Cories are very sensitive and can die with just 0.2 ammonia from my experience. If the other fish are hardy, like tetras, danios, and livebearers, then it could be that a small amount of ammonia or nitrite is in your tank which killed your cories.
 
If you don't want de-motivation today, !!!DO NOT READ!!! jk, but it is a bit of a rant

So, I found a local person, who's selling pea puffers a few weeks back. We text back and forth, she's holding them for me, and we're waiting for some time where I can go to the city and pick them up after her work right? well, we had a few times where I was almost able to get them, but it never worked from her side. Now, she just starts talking about her life, why she can't be home before 2:00 pm, even though I never even asked, and stuff like, "I'm trying to breed snails, but can't find any". Like bro, I never asked. I just try to be polite and stuff, but its starting to get harder and harder. I just wish I had the puffers already

Man I feel you. Not necessarily the oversharing of everything but what you want, but the difficulty getting fish. Especially goldfish. I think I might make a thread.
