Took the Snakeskin back today and picked up some Rosy Loaches, a very cute addition to my nano 22 gallon.

Lovely addition. I was so close to getting these or chipmunk (dwarf chain) loaches over the weekend. Do you have any pics?jinjerJOSH22 said:Took the Snakeskin back today and picked up some Rosy Loaches, a very cute addition to my nano 22 gallon.

What's a phone?
Well my employer and colleagues hate me but I routinely turn it off or lose it for days. Also don't have whatsapp (which my work made obligatory this year, so I finally caved and installed it) linked to notifications so I actually have to open to see if I have new messages. Try it, that should really help.TheDitherFish said:This may come as a surprise to some people but life still exists without your phone and it is not the center of the universe. SURPRISE.

This, I get this so much. Whatever happened to in-person communication?Crispii said:I had a bad experience whenever it comes to phones and certain people.
During the very last day of middle school (the time when we hang out together for the last time, even though we might not see each other again), my friends and ex-crush were constantly using their phones the entire day. For the most part, they didn't acknowledge me and were continuously using their phones. When I was leaving for the day, only two out of like twelve of my classmates said goodbye to me. To me, that was the worst day of my life and it's all because of my classmates bringing phones to the last day of school. Mind you, I didn't even have a phone at the time.
After that, I never saw them again. The thing that bothers me the most is that I kind of got "rejected" by my ex-crush. She was one of those person that was constantly on the phone for the entirety of the day. Not only that, but she was not one of the two people that said goodbye to me.PascalKrypt said:This, I get this so much. Whatever happened to in-person communication?
My brother and sister-in-law and just like this whenever doing an activity that doesn't demand 100% of undivided attention to do successfully.
THEY ask ME to watch a movie together, then after about 10 minutes they start doing stuff on their phone and online half-looking at the screen. Then after an hour they complain about how the plot is too complicated and who is this guy that just showed up again and blah blah. Like maybe actually do what you're doing instead of trying to do fifteen things at once? Geez.
Very sad to hear the experience was that bad for you though I honestly think this sort of stuff contributes to depression because even those people on their phones feel disconnected.

Here's the thing. The people who had phones hang out with each other. I was alone because I didn't have a phone. So trying to squeeze in with a bunch of peers who had phones would be awkward. It's like being a third wheel on a date.jinjerJOSH22 said:Whenever I get together with my friends to play board games or consume alcohol they're constantly on there darn phones it does my head in
I only got a phone maybe a month ago, never really desired one but between posting here and general convenience I caved.Crispii said:Here's the thing.

I never even had a Snapchat account until one of my friends told me to make one during my Junior year of HS.jinjerJOSH22 said:I only got a phone maybe a month ago, never really desired one but between posting here and general convenience I caved.
I had Facebook for Two days, started it New Years 2 years ago because I asked a childhood crush out (Blackout drunk) and didn't have a mobile, probably made a donkey of myself (Not clear) then realized what happened, deleted it and never looked back sinceCrispii said:I never even had a Snapchat account until one of my friends told me to make one during my Junior year of HS.
No, but I'm celebrating New Years tomorrow.jinjerJOSH22 said:Anyone else buy Easter Eggs in January? They're the best chocolate.
Hows that work? Going out?Crispii said:No, but I'm celebrating New Years tomorrow.
Going to my uncle's place on Sunday. I'm hoping that he has some aquarium stuff for me to take. Let's hope that it's another tank.jinjerJOSH22 said:Hows that work? Going out?
Nice, I just realized I haven't been "out" in months that being said i'd rather spend the money on my fish babiesCrispii said:Going to my uncle's place on Sunday. I'm hoping that he has some aquarium stuff for me to take. Let's hope that it's another tank.
Yeah I noticed it. I usually use my phone to communicate and go onto fishlore. I try to stay away from phone but I needed it this weekend as I have away meets for sports/stuff i'm doing with friends.TheDitherFish said:Don't know exactly what it is but I think it rots your brain and makes you a zombie

This. Though I can relate to phone problems when it comes to my younger colleagues (and sibling, sadly), fortunately it doesn't happen with my friends. We also play board games together! And last summer I went road tripping with one. No phones in sight.. well aside from conveniently asking him to google stuff when we need to know information because I'm a cheapskate without mobile internetFeohw said:I really haven't experienced much wrong with phones. My friends actually talk to one another when we are together, and phones are what keep us together when we are apart. Though I'm not great at staying in touch with people as I don't really use social media. Glad I don't experience the horror people seem to make phones out to be!
Also yes, easter eggs are the best chocolate. Though chocolate is meh.
I haven't used Facebook since 2014. The very day of graduation (bachelor), that was the last time I logged in. My unI unfortunately used it as an easy communication channel so I couldn't really not have it. Glad to be rid of that basket of poison.jinjerJOSH22 said:I had Facebook for Two days, started it New Years 2 years ago because I asked a childhood crush out (Blackout drunk) and didn't have a mobile, probably made a donkey of myself (Not clear) then realized what happened, deleted it and never looked back since
Sssst. Let me hypothise you. Whenever you think of her, from now on you will picture her top half as a trout, flailing about on fry land.Crispii said:But yeah, I got a bit depressed for the past few years after the incident and was constantly thinking about her. However, something amazing happened. I started to get involve in the aquarium hobby. Since then, I started to think more about fishkeeping and less about her. At one point, I was stalking on one of my peer's Instagram account because she posts pictures of my ex-crush on it.
D: Blashemy! Dark chocolate is where it's at. If it's not at least 85%, I won't eat it.jinjerJOSH22 said:Anyone else buy Easter Eggs in January? They're the best chocolate.
Altums! Leopoldis!Crispii said:Oh my goodness! I checked to see what WetSpot has in store and guess what they have!
wild betta?Crispii said:Anyone?
Yep! Neon ninja Betta!FinalFins said:wild betta?

You realize he has almost 4000 posts on a fish forum right?
Nope, the google just takes me to FFxivCrispii said:Btw, has anyone even heard of ninja Bettas before?
Aww, that really sucks.Crispii said:UPDATE:
I have to sacrifice the 5 gallon Betta tank... Love it, but because of the male, I have to tear it down.
The whole scape has been torn down. However, I'll be using some of it for the enisae tank.CMB said:Aww, that really sucks.

my family celebrates as our roots are connected to asia.
I've heard reports of Leopoldis leaving livebearer frys alone, however I never tried it so I can't confirm if it's true.FinalFins said:Ok, so my tank needs more fish. Lots of brown so I was thinking of getting honey gouramis BUT I know I will def get leopoldis SOMEHOW in the future so I need to condense most of my tanks later on so my question is can HG coexist with a group of 5-6 leopoldis? And would CPD's get gobbled up by leopoldis?
Oh BTW could I move my CPD's to a five gal? It has a betta and the nano fish in a big tank doesn't appeal to me because half of the school died out so the school isn't as big.

Sorry to hear. Are you planning on doing something else in the 5? Am I sensing ninjas?Crispii said:*sigh* Today's the last day for the hendra pair as they will not be under my care anymore.
My CPDs where originally in a 6 gallon setup, I had 5, lost 2 and kept 2 males, 1 female with a Betta I later added for a couple of months. Obviously it will depend on the Betta and might go differently if you're adding the CPDs into the Bettas lair.FinalFins said:Ok, so my tank needs more fish.
