I have a betta that was fine when I put some ghost shrimp in the tank. He just looked at them, pecked a few times and stopped. After the ghost shrimp I put and amano shrimp in there to look nice and see his cool ass crawl around and eating shit, but then my betta has been hounding his ass almost non stop. Is my betta racist? If the shrimp lives long enough will the betta get used to it being around and stop fucking with him?
Also does anyone have any luck with cherry shrimp in a planted tank with no filter? I have a 10 gallon with a big java fern and two guppies that I may put some shrimp in.

You'll need a lot of plants. Java fern doesn't take in as much as other plants do. You'll also need at least a air pump. At that point might as well get a cheap sponge filter. Just my thoughts.
Can Bettas live with lyretail swordfish? Or are they too flashy? What other species go well with a Betta?
Also is salvinia minima a good or bad idea?
Planning to get a greyhound (spanish galgo)
I read that they are good for houses because they sleep all day
They don't bark , they don't bite their owners and they are very lovely
Btw I'd be rescuing him from having to participate in races or hunt to be later abandoned when he is old by his greedy hunter owner

>sleep all day
You didn't fucking read the fine print.
They sleep all day AFTER you spent at least 1h walking them every day.
Don't fucking expect absolute running dogs to just lay around while you stuff yourself with cheetos.

So I've got 7 female mice and 4 male mice. The females are in the tank, the males are in the travel box.
The main question is, which one of the 4 ought to get the entire harem?
Background: I originally bought one male mice and two female mice with the intention of setting up a threesome harem. I then bought what was supposed to be 5 extra female mice, but three of them were sexed wrong. Since then, I bought 3 extra female mice.
The male mice are named: Shinji, Kaworu, Toji and Kaji (Mana). I noticed Kaworu and Toji were wrongly sexed early. I just noticed that small balled Kaji was sexed wrongly today.
The female mice are Rei, Asuka, Misato, Mari, Madoka, Sayaka and Kyouko.
The names are beyond the point. The question is, who gets the harem, while the others are forced to watch from their travel cage?
Kaworu: Long hair grey with red eyes.
Shinji: Short-haired white with black eyes, huge balls
Kaji: Short black with black eyes and extremely small balls.
Toji: Grey on top, cream on bottom, huge balls.

Kaworu and Kaji are grooming. Shinji and Toji are reaching to try and escape.
Set up little mazes, obstacle courses, and experiments for them, and test them.
The mouse with the fastest feet, wittiest brain, and greatest endurance shall get to procreate.

There's ants in my fucking room
>ant hate general thread
nobody wants to hate ants with you PAL
ants are good buddies except the only thing i dislike sometimes is trying to read a book under a tree and my legs tickle constantly
>>2348428
>ants are good buddies
ants are freeloading niggers. and you are disgusting for putting up with them crawling on you
>>2348428
Ants are the very opposite of good buddies. They are invasive species pretty much everywhere.
I have one, he's a little chicken shit that is scared of everything.
>>2347170
Mine is scared of strangers like when friends come over she'll hide or run away, shes not scared my mother though.
I have/love a black cat
EMERGENCY: my scottish highland cattle herd of 10 bugged out! How do I chase them back into their fence?
>>2356002
Go outside to start.
Why did you take up cattle farming if you were not prepared for this?
>>2356003
Start with what this anon said, then offer food inside the enclosure.
What does it mean if I find a dead snake in front of my car on the street? It had no visible signs of injury, it was just lying there, dead, by my driver side door. I think it was a grass snake.
>>2355692
It means that you found a dead snake.
>>2355692
It was a message from the Snake Mafia.
You'll be sleeping in the grass soon.
please post photos/gifs/videos of yours or others shiba inus! they're definitely my favorite dog and it would make my day seeing a thread full of them.
Can anyone identify this wasp for me?
Or hornet. Idfk
Looks like a female polistes fuscatis
>he hasn't taken the Vernepill yet
Face it, dinosaurs never went extinct.
How long do you plan on sleeping before you wake up to the truth?

>>2354870
That's a dimetrodon, a mammal-like reptile that preceded the existence of the dinosaurs by millions of years.

Do you allow your dog to sleep with you in bed?

As a kid I always liked sleeping with stuffed animals, my shibe is a good, if not better, replacement.
