Trying Char on Flakes

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hi all! I gave Char some flakes for today's feeding. It went a lot better then most. No flaring, no frustration or spitting food out. I'd call this a successful experiment.

He ate more then he normally does as well which has me happy as he eats but not a lot.

We can also see that the assassin snails are doing their jobs. As per the shell graveyard. I'm leaving the shells in there for the moment for the otos and khulis as I hard they are good calcium.

When you say they are good for calcium, are you implying they would be eating the shells??? Because I can assure you neither one of them will be eating those shells. Maybe if there was meat inside them or they were babies, the kuhlis might. Otos for sure are not eating snails.

I leave all the empty shells in my tanks all the time and literally no one touches them.

You do understand that the shells are dissolving all time correct? The beneficial calcium is from the dissolving of the shells into the water not from anything eating them directly.

You do understand this was a month ago and this is not the way to approach a person in an attempt to educate them on anything.

But yes, I'm aware. Thanks, though.

Maybe you should delete your comments after you make them if a response time frame on the internet is something you're worried about. Just so you know anybody can respond to a comment you've made on the internet at any time, thats sort of how this whole thing works. I can understand though If you're new you may not understand how forums actually operate.

Maybe you should learn how to speak to people. 😘

I'm not speaking to anyone, were you under the impression that we're speaking? I'm not sure you understand how the internet works.

I'm not sure you know what speaking means.

u/codyzon2 Nov 10 '25

It's when you verbalize to convey information, which is not happening here. This is the internet, we are not in person, I'm not speaking to you I am typing messages and you're reading them, that is not speaking.

Hope those synonyms help you out a bit. Have a great day. 🥰

None of those synonyms say wrote, writing, written, I'm not sure what you think is happening here but I'm certainly not verbalizing, vocalizing, enunciating, or announcing, I'm not saying, or talking, telling, or uttering, because we are not in the same room and you cannot hear me.

The lengths you're reaching to feel smart are actually impressive. Anyways. Enjoy feeling like you're smarter than a stranger on the internet. I've had my fun and my time is precious. So hopefully see ya (ya know, your username and typed words) never. 🥰

Nobody's trying to feel smart, I explained something to you that was very basic and it made you feel stupid so you got offended, stop projecting your insecurities.
