My little sister's new boyfriend got a tattoo for her about a month ago and he wanted matching tattoos so he decided to get uh. The tattoo on her ankle of her ex boyfriend's name that she hasn't gotten covered up yet

I need everyone to know that the ship Götheborg, the world's largest ocean-going wooden sailing ship, answered a distress call the other day.

Imagine waiting for the coast guard or whatever to show up and instead a replica of 18th century merchant ship pulls up and tows you to the coast.

Midoriya: After two hours of dramatic emotional breakdown and a cup of ramen later, I realized that I was, in fact, hungry and not sad.

Petco, in recent months, has really been pushing sales for GloFish. They are tetras, danios, and sharks that have been genetically altered in embryo to produce brightly colored, neon florescent fish. Or…. so they claim. It’s what I had believed, but today I got a good look at a GloFish that had died and been returned. The owner had frozen the fish but it had thawed by the time they returned to the store, and the water that it had produced was the exact shade of bright neon pink as the fish.

Petco GloFish are dyed. Thats the only explanation. If they were really genetically altered the water would not have been the same color as the fish. Dying or injecting fish is extremely cruel and harmful, with a high mortality rate and for survivors a shortened lifespan. This is not a practice that should be supported. So, please don’t buy them.

Please, for the love of god, don’t ever keep a fish in these conditions. I found these, and countless others frequently shared under fish tank ideas and I’m genuinely terrified that more people are going to do this. Like… There’s so many things wrong with these how can they NOT see the problem of keeping them like this. Fish aren’t decor. They’re living, breathing things, with specialized needs and I’m fucking angry that people can be so ignorant.

A lot of people recommend 100% water changes on here.

Which is fine, sometimes they’re necessary. But an important part of that gets missed - you can’t just plunk your fish back into your tank after you completely switch out all the water! Water parameters in our tanks change over time for a lot of different reasons in a lot of different ways - and I’m not just talking about the nitrogen cycle. TDS, pH, gH, kH…those parameters we don’t much think about and rarely test for can undergo a lot of gradual change from the things we put in our tanks. If you plop your fish into new water with even one notably different parameter, it could go into shock or die. That is a LOT of stress on them. Think if you were suddenly teleported from way below sea level to way above. You couldn’t breathe. So if you do large water changes, you need to acclimate your fish slowly. If it’s 100%, drip acclimate. If it’s less than that, even if its just a 50% change, make sure you add your water SLOWLY and keep an eye out for signs of stress. It’s much better to let your tank run a little low for a day or two while you add water as your fish can handle it than to add it all at once and watch your fish struggle for their lives. Trust me, it sucks to lose fish over something so easily preventable. (But whenever possible, frequent small changes are much better than spaced out large ones.)

This is my girl Zelly. She's a bit bloated and it's lol sided and I saw her poop with some red in it, so I'm scared. Anyone have any ideas what this is??? I'm currently doing a water change which is when she pooped. I haven't tested the water (currently in the middle of the change) but she's in a 5 with a snail. Any ideas???
