I should be asleep. I am dumb and decided to rearrange my nail polish since the baby was asleep instead, as Zoya is running a big grade in sale for Earth Day.  Also man I’m tired - my husband had surgery yesterday and I’m stuck doing all the driving and lifting for some weeks. He was helping out a TON while I was sitting with McCrabbyPants nursing around the clock, but now it’s all on me. Fortunately my older four kids are quite helpful when they’re not otherwise busy with school or outside playing. It’s still a ton with all seven of them plus cooking plus medical appointments plus homeschool plus tutorial plus normal chores plus keeping the colicky baby alive and not screaming. I want to drink just thinking about it 😆🥂

Dang DUDE, and here I was thinking about my own simple problems... Nothing compares to your my dear.

I cannot take good fish pics for the life of me. I always get glare and reflection off the front of my tank? I don’t know why I suck with my iPhone so much - other people manage great photos 🤨

The one thing I have learned from taking photos. Make sure the light source it coming from the side, no flashes hun.. I try and take mine at night time, if I need to use the tank lights. If I do need to do it that way. Turn all the lights off but the tank light and do not use a flash. See if any of that works for ya

I gave these to my friends who can't eat pizza.

My two friends, who don't eat pizza, actually love that food.  I think they have such fishie taste for fishie food.  They did not thank me for giving them that birthday food (but they never do thank me for anything I do for them.)

[Miss Bad Wolf 34]

Everyone else had pizza and garlic knots and ice cream cake.

 

The food in the pictures were just for my two friends Summers and Loki.  For some reason they love sun dried baby shrimp and fluval bug bites.  They really love eating fish food.

I found this very interesting guys!

Urushiol is also found in the sap, skin, stem, and leaf of mangoes.

I had no idea. WOW! But that explains why I never see a Mango with leaves on it.

I agree. I love it very much. I am fortunate that I'm not allergic to poison ivy lol.

Two of my friends are goldfish.  The fish food is for them not my human friends.  I think goldfish food is an acquired taste that only fish have it seems.

True.  When I had guppies last, I also had a rodent problem.  Those annoying mice would eat up all my guppy food that was in plastic bag like containers.  They tried to get into the regular hard plastic containers. 

I hate house mice.  Not sure if I like or dislike pet mice.  I have never had one as I tend to have a cat or two.  Cats love mice it seems.  (Haven't had a cat in my place since 2012.  I now live in a group home and both cats and rodents are not welcomed.)

 

I'm so glad I can keep my pet goldfish in a group home.  Too bad I can't get a bigger tank than my twenty, but at least I can have the twenty.

I too have a mouse problem but am working on it .  

What is a “Group home”?  Something like an army quarters or Navy thing or a company contract site support?  These I have done and know.

Um, not sure what a company contract site support means?

It is a home where five to six residents live. Generally they have some mental illness type thing.  For me it is a place to heal mentally until I'm ready to live on my own.

come to Miami we have mango trees growing everywhere in June is when the fruits ripen, yes the sap is an irritant but no where anything like poison ivory. Has anyone here tried mangos that are green with salt and vinegar??

[Miss Bad Wolf 34]

Why does fish food and treats look nasty to me but the goldfish gobble them up as soon as the food hits the water?

Is it true that goldfish notice their food by smelling it more than seeing it?

[Arctic Mama 3,648]

Different tastes 😂. They prefer vegetation but won’t say no to bugs, guts, etc. if it can be grazed on they’ll do it. And yes, smell is a significant part of how they locate food

So how can one have a tank with real plants and goldfish at the same time?  Won't the fish think the plants are all you can eat buffet?
