i definitely don't think it's dropsy. if anything i was worried maybe she's not able to release the eggs? is that even possible? i'll try the cooked pea tonight though. like i said, i don't think it's urgent or dangerous, but it definitely doesn't seem normal. thanks!

I have this danio that has looked like she's carrying eggs, but she's pretty much looked like this for the past year. Her size has never gone down much. She seems otherwise healthy, and has no trouble swimming, so I'm not too worried. Is it just eggs, or could there be something else going on?

My distinctive ones get names, but not so much the schoolers. My male bettas get princess names, this is Princess Cookie from adventure time, and one was princess peach from Mario. The angel is frank. The Bolivian rams are Lenny and Squiggy. Still debating on the bristlenose. I call...

He's probably just shedding. They do that every so often as they grow. One of mine did tonight, it all came off in one piece, like a frog sock. It's kinda cool, kinda gross. They like to eat it too... Here's a bad picture of it:

Poor thing. Think of all the stress and noise when kids slam their lockers, in the pitch black. :( It won't live long. If she doesn't care, there's not much you can do but report her. Hopefully she'll find some common sense.

That's what I was hoping to avoid! Haha.

I'm actually only hoping for a couple. After the last ones I can see drop off, I might just toss the rest. Thanks though. :)

Just an update, they're getting big! Hard to get a good group photo, but about 14 or so made it.

Just thought I'd share, kinda cool. :)

Yeah, the one on my shoulder blade just felt like someone was drawing on me hard with a pen. I almost fell asleep in the middle of it. The one on my shin... not so much. Also depends on the artist and what kind of machines or needles they're using, and how they have it tuned.

Even if it's safe, I would just think it would burn!

Needles are always disposable (in any shop worth their salt), but tubes and whatnot are autoclaved. Generally, the artists will have a portfolio in the lobby of the shop, look for clean lines and solid shading/color. If you don't know the artist before hand, I wouldn't go in expecting to get...

Looks like brown diatoms to me.

I wouldn't use tap water on the filters either. They still hold bacteria, and the chlorine in tap water will kill it. When you do water changes, it's good to swish it in the bucket of water you've removed, so you're not rinsing the gunk back into the tank.

Seriously! What are the odds! Haha @ the blonde. :)
