“Despite the UN resolution calling for a ceasefire, the IDF ramped up bombings of Gaza on Monday night, describing them as the largest in weeks. Damage and loss of life was reported across the Gaza Strip, including 18 people, nine of them children, in an airstrike on one residential building in the northeast of Rafah.”

バニリゾ/BANILIZO on X: "「完璧な複製体」 https://t.co/eua1ObwXYG" / X

it's just one water puppy now :'[ Yoimiya died just this afternoon. been heartbroken about it, gave her a little funeral but the chemicals in the experiment were definitely a bit harsh on her. she was already pretty slow and weak when she arrived.

I'll do better for the other one, which actually prompted me to get a couple plants and a little piece of driftwood for him to swim around. I got some amazon swords, and I was gifted some anubias (which I now know aren't edible, hope they'll grow algae that would entertain him, tho.) and I was planning to buy some cabombas but they were sold out. Gotta wait til stock is back on. I'm also looking for duckweed. Looks cute as heck and I think Brobbles would like nibbling on em.

I'll definitely buy some sand! I still have to research but I was lowkey swindled into getting pebbles by the petstore. I kinda do notice Brobbles just,, making out with the pebbles and it did make me a bit concerned that he might swallow them, but so far, none.

I'll also set up a better schedule with cleaning the tank and I might get another filter, just in case. I am a student, so I'm gone for most of the morning and the afternoon, so I want to make sure the tank is as clean as possible. I already have a sponge filter, but I'll try looking into more of my options. As of now, I clean the tank every week. Should I do it more frequently?

Thank you for these resources, read through them while looking for plants and stuff. I do hope Brobbles likes them. <3

Hi Fishblr people, I need help

So I wanted to ask for advice. I have two goldfish(?) that I may or may not have rescued from my uni because they were used for an experiment. Every other fish used in the experiment died, with only the two survivors. They are Brobbles and Yoimiya. I knew my neighbour had fish, I tried to ask if they wanted these two but they already had six full-grown fancy goldfish (I don't know what kind) and could not take them. So the responsibility kinda fell to me. I bought a tank. I know 20 gallons is the minimum, but I was forced to take this 30x25x30cm tank (it's a 5-gallon, I think?), and I know it's been stressing both of them. It's way too small, I know. Brobbles is really aggressive and territorial and nips and chases Yoimiya and I feel bad for Yoimiya because her(?) tail is cut short. I really was hoping to get that 20-gallon tank because I knew this would happen, but unfortunately, I couldn't. Is there any way I can lessen the stress? Make Brobbles less aggressive or anything? Yoimiya is struggling with Ich I believe and I've already bought a heater (it's shipping for a few days) and added in a teaspoon of no-additive rock salt (could've been aquarium salts but from what I saw, rock salt was fine as long as there aren't any additives), changed the water and added a few drops of methylene blue to it too. I know I probably shouldn't have taken them in being so underprepared, but I thought them being stuck in a water bottle left to die and seeping into chemicals was probably not the life they deserved. I just felt bad for them, and now I really truly do want them to feel better. Please be nice to me, I'm really a beginner. I just want these little fish to know life better than being stuck in a lab and suffocating in chemicals.

Hey lovelies this is a reminder to not listen to productivity influencers all the time. Please don't make every part of your day productive. You don't need to listen to self help podcasts while getting ready. You don't need to make all of your reading focused on mental health. You don't need to make a schedule to ensure that maximum productivity is reached. You aren't alive to rush to the grave babe.

Do listen to podcasts and music that make you happy and get you excited. Do read things you enjoy reading. Do make a schedule with rest time in it. Do take little breaks. Go feel the sun on your skin. I promise that taking time to actually exist and be alive won't somehow make you less productive. And in fact, you'll probably be more productive.

If you push yourself and focus on productivity and betterment constantly, you're going to burnout real quick. So take some breaks and go outside and stretch your arms and turn your head up and spin in the rain. Jump in the puddles and get those new shoes wet. End your study session early because you're frustrated and tired and make a cup of tea and get some cookies and watch a show. Read that fantasy book with moral lesson. Go take that night out with friends.

Please, please, please, PLEASE, P L E A S E don't let productivity be all you do. Live little. Relax. Really relax. Take personal days. Yes, get those grades and study and clean your house and stuff, but don't let it suffocate you. Ultimately this is your life love. Go live it. And don't feel guilty for living.
