Update on my cherry shrimp. I added six of them last month to a 20g community of black neons, corys, couple honey gouramis. Theory was they would PROBABLY be okay in this group and PROBABLY NOT be eaten due to size. Theory correct. They're fine. Not shy either. I just caught one apparently schooling with my black neons for a couple minutes before it fucked off to go pick at the good log some more.
>>4782275For freshwater that is often true, but for saltwater it is just as often not.Also, if you are already doing water changes regularly and something is still wrong, what are you going to do? Oh right, test the water and observe your livestock.>>4782835Obviously a facetious post, but I think it still bears mentioning that a super common misconception is that hobby-grade ICP is bullet proof accurate. There is no hobby-grade testing facility that even gives you a confidence interval for their tests. Several people have sent in identical water samples to several of these companies and have come up with a pretty wide set of results. If you have pretty good test gear and practice good lab technique, you will often be able to get more consistent results than ICP, whether it be OES or MS. ICP does give limited insight on trends, especially for things we have difficulty testing at home though.
My fish have become entirely too tame. I stick tongs and scissors and sometimes my whole arm in, fish are right up front thoroughly investigating all of this. I have to be careful with the scissors as i do not trust the curious georges not to swim directly between the jaws as i am about to snip.
anyone here ever kept crayfish? would it be cruel to keep them in a 6 gal?looking to keep the full size one not the dwarf
>>4783452Crayfish we eat? I kept one as a child. Probably not a great idea because they can get surprisingly large. Inverts aren't like fish where fish so they can do quite well with much less space, but common crayfish really do get much larger than people expect. It's just that we don't harvest ones those size.

>>4783136>>4783155Need recommendation for STRONG leashes/collars for STRONK doggo. Boerboel/Neapolitan pup is closing in on 70 kg (currently 67 kg) and still growing but his equipments are starting to get too tight. Most other “XL” equipments are too small and the companies that sell “XXL” products are just not very durable I.e made for giant breed but pets not working breeds. The collar on his pic rel is the biggest one on the store near me that fits a 27” neck. Also looking into harnesses with handles and stuff but they’re mostly for medium sized malinois/dutch shepherd or other shepherd type dogs and what have you.

>>4783136>zak georgeIsn't that the guy with the reactive border collie who also has a terrible recall? Aren't BCs one of the easiest breeds to train kek.
>>4783499Despite collies being easier to train, that also means they learn things too quickly and can easily gain unwelcome traits and much more effort is required with working with them. They are still not recommended for beginner owners.

For the people who are tired of being told they are abusing their dogs due to baseless claims.For dogs who are allowed off-leash or working towards being off-leash because no dog has true freedom like running around with their own will.Only webms of training dogs are allowed.
>>4783282based and true. no dog is ever 100% trained. they are not robots. even police dogs trained like roman soldiers, and even service dogs that have never known evil, bite their handlers and disobey - and dogs are apex predators. off leash dogs are disrespectful and dangerous to other peoples property. what if someone was walking their rabbit or cat? that's their pet on a leash, controlled, it doesn't deserve to die, and no matter how hard you hit the shock collar or how reinforced you thought your training was, dogs can and do decide that today, your pain isnt enough, and your treats arent enough, for them not to eat that tasty animal. the dog is not dangerous to people, they are still a good dog, but it is just their nature and you will never, ever fully suppress it, and the laws in your area might treat your dog more like an inanimate object and mandate they're destroyed as reparations.
>>4783307Seeing eye dogs are trained using the inclusion of positive punishment as all dogs should be. The best method has won time and time again and proven itself to be non-abusive as guide dogs are one of the most docile and stable dogs available. People rely on them to obey with their lives.From the seeing eye dog manual:>Use a snapping or popping motion with the leash while the leash is still slack.>If the puppy doesnt stop trying to pull… strengthen each correction.They also encourage the use of headcollars and chain training collars.https://www.scribd.com/document/291083588/Puppy-Raising-Manual
>>4783307>you shouldn't let your dog be happy b-because there's a 1 in 20,000 chance something (entirely preventable) happensJust watch your dogs’ surroundings and call them off before that and you'll be fine 99.99% of the time. Also what dog do you have? Eitheir none or some geriatric senior dog whose mind is broken to think the world only exists with a 3-foot tether. Sad. If you don't train your dog to be off-leash you're doing it wrong and don't deserve one.

>>4783222If the plant wasn't currently really fucked up, I would post it. It was a plant that I got my mom, but she has a bit of a neglect streak with her plants because in her mind she can just go buy a new one. So she just stopped watering it(spidermites love it dry) so spidermites infested it. I had to cut the flowers and a few leaves off that were basically turned into nests, and due to all the dust that accumulated on it, I gently wiped it down with some water to try and clean it up a bit.What I was unaware of was just how much chlorine was in the tap water(I assume this was the cause, because I genuinely don't know) which caused large portions of all its big leaves to turn brown. Said leaves are still alive, even though its like half of the leaf which surprises me, but it has a new flower coming up and is putting out new leaves.The plant honestly looks horrible, but spidermites are total bastards.The plant is in exile along with a bonsai that ended up catching them too for being in proximity. Both of them a product of just being neglected.It frustrates me because I got into plants as a hobby, and now the majority of my collection are plants that I've had to take over and nurse back to health which is sucking the enjoyment out of it.
>>4783245If you manage to get them back to full health it really pays offYour anthurium doesn't get direct sunlight right? I let mine get like 30 minutes of sunlight at around 4pm Idk get garlic and use a blender then just spray all over the infestation see how it goes
>>4783261Its always sat in a window that gets morning sun, but I live in Canada so direct sun doesn't hit that hard. I don't think its an issue with light because it was doing great before she stopped watering it and it was always in that spot. If it didn't have spidermites, I would bring it down to where I keep my collection where it would be under a growlight.
