What a wonky piece It is probably good in a pleco tank? I would sand some spots though, or soak it for a long time (3-4 weeks to soften the edges and then see what it does. Usually the outer layer comes off and then you're slightly more better off for fish use. Not necessarily betta use, but in general if you have a piece like this. Worst stories I've heard is barbs and other fish spearing themselves on fine manzanita branches 😞 .

Geppetto lowered his landing gear and touched down for the inspection. 😂 Now we're just going to imagine you make little rudder sounds when you edit his videos and see him swimming around. Hopefully it does well for you!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s awful. I added more to the post so you can see how I prepared it. I used your moss idea. The edges did not feel rough and were not a concern. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nabokovfan87 Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 Maintenance done for the day for me. Now I need to find out if any of the local shops will actually buy fish I breed.... most of them are salt only. Clean water for the sick fish and then just keep up with that. We're officially in a "dope blackwater tank" competition now. Here's to hoping I can grow plants for once! I think the heater burned the bolbitis I had that was "near it". Leaves are all black.

Maybe take a few and grow out some moss and sell it back to em? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if it is because it was next to the heater or it was acclimating to submersion. I moved it and trimmed (butchered) it. It has long, sturdy taproots now so I think it is going to do something again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chick-In-Of-TheSea Posted November 30, 2022 Author Share Posted November 30, 2022 When a drawer is left open… https://youtube.com/shorts/v--jshLJkvE?feature=share 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guppysnail Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 A few years ago I left my sock drawer open which is about halfway up my chest of drawers. I went in my dressing room later that day to get a different pair of socks and stuck my hand in and screamed bloody murder. My cat had buried himself in the socks and went to sleep and I did not see him when I stuck my hand in. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My cat had buried himself in the socks and went to sleep and I did not see him when I stuck my hand in. My first cat apparently went in a drawer while I was getting ready for work. In a rush, I shut the drawer and left. I worked a double. Came home, couldn’t find him. Retraced my steps. Started looking random places; I lived in a small apartment at the time so not many places he could go. I opened the drawer and he yawned, did a huge stretch, and lazily stepped out with his eyes half open. I was traumatized, and he was like, whatever. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few years ago, my dog ran off while on a walk in the mountains. I’d been walking him by myself and knew I was going to get into hot water with my parents if I didn’t find him. I spent half an hour calling his name, then had to give up and go home because it was almost dark. Guess who was sitting on the doorstep…🐶 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chick-In-Of-TheSea Posted December 2, 2022 Author Share Posted December 2, 2022 (edited) So last night my husband and I went to a free event called Christmas in the Park. We got there pretty early: 5-something, and the event started at 6:15. Christmas in the Park is a lighting of lights and Tiffany stained glass windows by the museum that showcases Louis Comfort Tiffany’s work (you might be familiar with Tiffany lamps. Those were made by him too.) Also a symphony would be there playing Christmas music as people strolled around the decorated village. The place was a zoo. We drove around the village for one hour trying to find parking, and literally everything was filled, even the parking garages. So we went to PF Changs and then went home. 🤣 Oh also we had our own concert in the truck with Bing Crosby, so there’s that. 😉 Edited December 2, 2022 by Chick-In-Of-TheSea 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
