Help. I took my beta fish out of their tank to clean the water, all of it. Apparently you're not supposed to do that, what do?
Please guys, dont let Ornstein and Smough die.
>>2237067
better dead than living in this tiny shit tank
>>2237064
Slowly add the clean water to their cups and wait 30 minutes to get them accustomed to it. And while waiting, fill up the tank part of the way
Dump out some of their cup water into the tank, then add more clean water to their cup and wait another 30
Then dump them into their respective spaces in that tank.
After that, I would see to getting them larger, individual tanks. No matter what the Petco/Petsmart employees told you, Bettas need at least 1 gallon each minimum for survival, but preferably 2.5 gallons each to be more comfortable.
What's their appeal anon? Aside from those badass wannabe, i don't see what's so good about having them.
>>2236900
You get to prove to the world that pitbulls are friendly and lovable all whilst putting those around you at risk
>>2236931
This. Also normies think their mouthes look like smiles and project human emotions on dogs.
>>2236900
It's like being vegan, you get to tell the whole world your life choices
What's the appeal of having a dog, /an/?
Basically they're a friend that loves you unconditionally, does whatever you say(if you treat them right), and can't talk. 3/3
I dunno. I think they're annoying.
>>2236869
Its basically a child. You are programmed to crave the responsibility of taking care of something less intelligent than you, a dog fills the void for half the work. Also a dog is always a good laugh because they are stupid, or do something "smart" despite being stupid.

Keep up the good work

Just more evidence of mudslime "tolerance" and peas.
Why can't we just fucking nuke them already? I'm sick of this quadrillion dollar war and Halal slaughter is damaging for a regular human being (white) to watch.
You're either against the mudslimes or you're literally ISIS.
I've been arguing with my gf for the past hour about which would win in a fight between a lion and a tiger. I've been saying lion because they are the kangz of the jungle and are probably used to fighting all the time. Tigers are antisocial cowards that hide and pounce on unweary people/animals. So tell me who wins/an/ so I can put this argument to rest.
>>2236584
Oh boy, this old meme
Lions average about 300 to 600 pounds, Tigers average at about 900 pounds. That's all muscle. Tigers are solitary and thus must be able to single-handedly take down large prey. There have been many instances of Tigers killing Lions with only a single swipe. Tigers are more adapted to go for the killing blow and fast, too. Male Lions just wrestle with eachother. Any big cat expert will tell you the siberian tiger is the most dangerous cat in history, as Pantera Tigris is the largest feline ever. Depends on the subspecies as well, but a bengal or siberian tiger will take a lion down no problem 9 times out of 10.
>>2236590
>t. Tiger
Also the American Lion was the biggest cat to ever live and it would shit on a siberian tiger. Plus lions have the main which means tigers couldn't get at their necks plus lions are used to fighting cats and other larger predators. Tigers only hunt deer and shit and sneak attack baby to teenage bears. Tigers are fucking cowards.
>>2236599
Tigers hunt water buffalo too, and those are incredibly strong animals.
Hello /an I have chickens and they are just sitting in a hole,why?
They're tired.
>>2236556
But why go in a hole when they have a coop?
>>2236560
They don't want to be "cooped" up.
My cat is dying. She was at the vet and they said to take her home and let her pass away in a familiar environment. And the moment she was in the house, she seemed a lot happier. She just sat at a corner of the house and I patted her for a while and now, she has retreated into her hugeass cardboard box and I have no way of checking on her unless I shine a light in or tear the top off slightly. Should I just focus on something else and leave her alone? Or keep patting her? I'm afraid she will die in the box during the night all alone while the rest of us are sleeping
>>2236495
Who cares it's a fucking cat. Get a new one.
>>2236495
>my cat is dying
Say no more
Can you post the corpse when it dies please?

ur mum's hermit crab preyed on me dick last night m8
ghost shrimp has been this color for a month now. What gives?
>>2236330
If you can't tell its under the leaf. He's a milky white. Read that means they are going to die but he's not dead.
as a pre-face to this situation i will give a green text to traumatic childhood events.
>be me 10-13, autistic, but not full blown. fat piece of shit.
>dad decides he wants me to get in shape so we should go biking out on dirt roads.
>most days are okay sometimes dogs barking from farms, occasionally they give short chase. most are on chains though.
>sometimes they get pretty close and its scary and have to move pretty fast.
>start to strongly dislike going past houses while biking.
>one day going past farm and one actually makes it on the road after us after jumping out of the bush.
>peddle as fast as I possibly can, follows me for another 50-100 meters before giving up. Dickhead dad is way the fuck ahead and isn't slowing for me to catch up. Dog would have gotten me if I had wiped out or something like that for sure.
>couple months later i'm 12 now, we go up a mile long and mile high hill (sure feels like it, you can coast for about 2-3 miles coming down it)
>tired as fuck getting to the top of it. there is a house at the very top.
>suddenly large dog bolts out driveway after us again, try to pedal away but tired still.
>It comes right up behind and tries to bite my tire, can feel the entire back of bike moving.
>REALLY starting to dislike going biking.
>one day we are going out again and we start to go towards those same roads.
>nope the fuck out. tell him i don't like the dogs.
>go home, never return to regular bike riding.
>develop distain for father since.
>never been able to be around a large dog without others close by since those days.
>million times worse when I'm alone. even with friends around sometimes still freak the fuck out.
Now i've moved into an apartment building out of town still on highway but out of the way. takes 5 minutes to get into town on bike these days.
past 2 years have been fine no dogs on our property, ocassionally the crackheads dog from down the street comes to visit but quite rarely.
cont.
>>2236244
4 days ago, around 11-12, cat starts hissing under the door. go to show her nothing is there pick her up and open door the tiniest hair and she starts to flip her shit.
Look out the window and there is a fairly large german shepard staring at my door.
Cat is full out defenses tail puffed and claws out, protecting her kittens i'm sure.
Dog stays around for another 2 hours before finally fucking off.
Figure it was crackheads dog and think nothing of it
Looking out the window next day, see a new guy who i'm 99% sure moved into an apartment here this month. he's got a german shepard and leads it on a leash to take a shit in the bush.
Seems to me like he takes it in during the day and then lets it out all night, as i've seen it at least 2 other night since.
Now I am terrified to leave apartment at night, scared that i'll be outside 1 day and it will attack, even though i know it's irrational.
I have no clue what to do.
Pet corrector air can, makes a hiss dogs hate. Sounds like an air compressor, may be obvious. Or get a dog whistle and give it a go every time the dog starts up.
>>2236248
the dog doesn't bark or anything as an added note, but to me at least the threat is very real, or it feels that way.
for whatever reason green text mentally fucked me up for life. will never be able to rid myself of it and probably won't forgive father for a very very long time for it.
I don't like to play the victim card on something serious like this, but yet I do not know how to act.
Would you talk to the indivual personally about it? I don't want to come across as "that guy"
>>2236248
I'm not sure i've ever heard of your pet corrector air can thing before, last thing i intend to do is agitate and make it angry.

Hey /an/
sometime ago I had lost a big bar of choc (2kg) after barely using it, it was wrapped in a plastic bag and with its own packaging inside.
The bar was disgusting, full of little holes all around, dirt and webs all around it, into the trash it goes!
But now I got a new bar about a month ago, still in the packaging, found a little hole riped and opened it only to find a couple larvae, but barely any holes and webs.
I quickly took those off ripped the big bar into smaller pieces, put on a safer plastic container, and then on the freezer to at least kill some of those.
After reading a bit on the subject, it appears to be quite common for larvae to be found on chocolate, and generally they are safe to be eaten.
So my question is:
What exactly are those? Moth larvae?
Did these come in eggs already in the bar, or do they get it in my home?
How safe are they to eat? What to would say is the point of no return?
>>2234933
btw, pic related came from this link
http://www.the-piedpiper.co.uk/th7d.htm
just throw it away whats wrong with you
>>2234948
your food is already full of insects, its not that big a deal
so this is supposedly a Jurassic world 2 poster and it looks like it has a Carcharodontosaurus skull. I'm sick of this forced diversity, no every movie needs to have African dinosaurs in the lead role? first the spinosaurus and now this? #stoptrexgenocide
I'm going to guess the plot will be
>"I'm not going back there/I miss my raptors"
>Goes back
>Dinosaur attack
>They leave
I want people that were left behind created a dinosaur society where they fight and ride dinos.
>>2234218
The source of entertainment you're looking for is Dinotopia.
And the plot has been rumored about the spread of other companies creating dinosaurs and not just Ingen. There were a lot of hints to that in JW like with Wong's line(which I forgot), and the fat guy was trying to use them for military.
>>2234202
Carcharodontosaurus is underrated if you ask me. However, It's probably not going to be in the movie.
>>2234202
What are you talking about? Carcharodontosaurus and T. rex are the same thing. In fact, all the famous, successful T. rex's from popular culture are actually Carcharodontosaurus. Don't you know anything about dinosaur history goy?
So /an/ I was wondering what animal were you in a past life and how do you stay in contact with your animal roots?
I used to be a wolf, I was the alpha of the pack and i was killed in a territorial dispute I only eat meat and berries, I love to be asked out for a smoothie wink wink and I take trips to the woods as often as I can
I am polyamoruos of course too and I don't see age as that is a human rule
>>2234080
>>2234080
wanna go get a smoothie with me sometime?
Is this the right place to discuss fossils? I've never seen fossils/paleontology threads here, but I'm not sure /sci/ would be the right place either.
Anyways, if so, just a fossil general thread.
>>2234044
there are prehistory and dinosaur threads here all the time, it's my main reason for coming to /an/
>>2234044
Ah, okay. I guess I'll start posting my fossils.
>>2234102
So i just got a new cat. She is white and has blue eyes, any cool movie or videogames names ?
Call it Ferrari, hope you have an outdoor car license though.
>>2233586
Garbage, because you got a garbage pet.
>>2233586
Name it Ford, it stands for 'buyer's remorse'
