How to make money in the aquarium hobby?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
So I’m public school you spend one day learning multiple subjects you walk around and move class to class while the way that I homeschool I spend one or two days on math and what I’ll do is maybe a worksheet or something and then in a day or two I’ll work on history and I’ll rather read from a history book or do some type of assignment and so on with all other subjects but I see it as more productive, if you spend one day learning 7 different subjects everyday for years then your bound to eventually forget something and say you have a test next class but you forgot some of the information, the way I homeschool if I have a test then it’s the day after I finished learning for that subject for the day or days, also in public school they say that kids with disabilities or anything have extended time and I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with that I was always in those classes but one example is language arts, we would have a big essay to type or write and since I was in the special help class I would always get extended time, I have adhd, adhd and extended time don’t work together because the way my brain works is that when I have something to do I will set it aside and literally do anything else until last minute no I don’t like that I’m like that but it’s how my brain works there is no way to help it but my meds do help a bit but anyway when I hear that I have extended time I don’t see that as anything other than more
Time to not do it, with the way I homeschool I’ll have a timer set for 10-15 minutes on a test that should take 1-2 hours for most anyone else, I have to have pressure or feel like someone is depending on me for me to really concentrate and public school just couldn’t understand that with me so I decided to leave.
Interestingly, I have a bit of adhd as well. It’s so mild so it’s hardly recognizable, but i agree it’s hard to concentrate sometimes and definitely doesn’t make it easy to learn a subject you aren’t interested in. Therefore, if you are being homeschooled, that may be a good thing as you can learn Highschool material at your own pace. That said, getting a home schooled Highschool diploma should be what you are targeting. I was under the impression you quit school, but if you are home schooled then that is totally fine. Make sure whoever is teaching you at home is following some kind of guideline so that your education is equivalent to public school education. Again, don’t let your disabilities hold you back! You are not alone!

Thank you and yea I should’ve mentioned homeschool before and my adhd is bad is you say your is barely recognizable then that most likely how I am when I’m on my meds
 
I introduced the male to the female betta on monday. The male was being kind of aggressive so I put them back in their tanks. The male made a gigantic bubble nest and I re-introduced the female. I thought they spawned at the time so I took the female out again. I thought the eggs would hatch by now if they spawned, so maybe they didn't? Its really hard to tell if there are eggs in a bubble nest. As for the cherry shrimp, I think the betta ate all of them. Stupid waste of $30.
 
When breeding shrimp for money it’s best to keep them alone. No idea about betta breeding besides it’s safer to have multiple females to spread out aggression on the female.
 
man- I notice more and more that this forum is mostly kids.13-16 years old.
This forum is mostly adults, you just tend to notice the kids more. Either way, there needs to be kids on here as if there are then it shows that the younger generation is getting interested in the hobby. When the old people die the hobby will too without some young people showing an interest and being there to learn from the old people. We must not run them off, instead, we must put up with their childish antics occasionally until they mature enough and take the hobby seriously, thusly we pass down the information in the hobby into the new generation.

Yes! Somebody finally said it!! No longer a kid (at a fully fledged 24), but the patronizing of some people on hobby topics is...vexing.

On second thought, for the cherry shrimp I did a closer examination I can see all of them! They were in the filter!

I will probably pick up a new tank of see if i can find one in my basement for the shrimp.
Why not put something into the filter so that the shrimp don’t get sucked in but the water still goes through

Examples would be: filter sponges, pantyhose, tulle mesh, and anything super fine.
