this. jews are not le ebil chosen people. they are just people. there is no difference between a jew and a normal person. they aren’t smarter. they aren’t dumber. they dont have conspiracies that are impossible for other people to have. claiming “the jews” control anything or are extra special is highly antisemitic.

Ty! Yours is very cute as well. I like the asymmetrical patterning. It's unique.

Apparently snowshoes are quite a rare breed, so I was kind of shocked a random ass super friendly kitten just appeared one day.
She was 5lbs when I found her and was intact, so she must have either been a stray or someone was keeping her to breed kittens with.
Is yours super friendly towards strangers? For the holidays I have the extended family over and there will be like 15 people in the same room and she's just in her usual spot on top of the recliner like nothing has changed.

No she's kinda shy but her mother who is a tabby kinda hates strangers so she might have learned it from her. She is way more social than her mom tabby

Fishkeeping in the era of endlessly accessible information btw
>>
>>5152827
No, I understand and immediately noticed what caused the spike.
I'm asking why.

I also, previously, added java fern, anubias, and amazon sword. None caused a spike.

>Fishkeeping in the era of endlessly accessible information btw
And I'm coming here for that information. The other option is to turn to r*ddit.

>>5152807
Right. So you think I can quarantine it for, like, a week? Or do I just call it a loss?

5 gallon with just pest snails and a betta. I wish I could add shrimp but I know this guy will go crazy chasing after them and I didn’t time things right, otherwise I would’ve loved to have seen cherry red neos in here to pick at the mulm.
>>
>>5152890
Very nice! I think Amanos could hold their own, especially if you make a little shelter with the wood. Not as exciting as the cherry shrimp but they're great jannies.

>>5152877
Plants will sometimes "melt" when added to new environments, especially environments they're poorly suited to. That could be what happened, although generally, biological filtration will handle the ammonia spike. Perhaps your filtration is insufficient?

Hello /an/,

You are now reminded that Bumblebee season has officially begun in the northern hemisphere. Bumblebees and Solitary Bees are in massive crisis so this thread will be to discuss ways to help them, ask questions about how to plant for them, and general bombus chat.

Note that Mellifera (‘honey bees’) are NOT in crisis, are actually a major culprit in the decline of Bumblebees and Solitary Bees, and aren’t even native to most of the northern hemisphere anyway - so they are banned from this thread. Wasps are fine (but still shit).

Animalistically speaking, what are the consequences of piranhas being dumped in North American lakes?

Finally something that will kill the lamprey
>>
>>5151641
We get this story every year and all it does is just rile up people with "MUH INVASIVES WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE!!!!!" and them the state workers ask for more gibs
There has only ever been one established population of piranhas in the USA (Florida of course) and it was eradicated in the 70s. No pacus don't count and they can't reproduce in the wild anyways so they're also a non issue.
>>5151662
>where it will devour all the native species
Wait until you find out the actual range of all those "native" fish species
>and completely take over
And you retards don't understand ecology because why would a predator eat all its prey
>>
>>5152574
if there's one thing invasive species are known for, it's having a stable predator-prey ecology
>>
>>5152823
Yeah because it is basic ecology
It might take a few decades but eventually their population collapses and they become part of the greater ecosystem
>>
>>5152916
it's really not difficult to find counterexamples to this
>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lord_Howe_Island#Feral_animals_and_plants
>Pigs and goats were released on the island as potential food sources in the early 1800s; the goats destroyed shrubs and grasses used as nesting sites and the pigs ate eggs and chicks and disturbed the land by rooting for food.[207] Several birds have become extinct on the island since the arrival of humans. The first round of extinctions included the Lord Howe swamphen or white gallinule, the white-throated pigeon, the red-crowned parakeet, and the Tasman booby
>In 1918, the black rat was accidentally introduced with the shipwreck of the S.S. Makambo, which ran aground at Ned's Beach. This triggered a second wave of extinctions, including the vinous-tinted thrush, the robust white-eye, the Lord Howe starling, the Lord Howe fantail and the Lord Howe gerygone, as well as the destruction of the native phasmid and the decimation of palm fruits.[208]
sure, naturalisation and a return to equilibrium is one possible outcome of a species introduction, it might even be the most likely outcome, but the other outcome is extinctions, and every introduced species rolls the dice

Sometimes they will eat the other wolves they kill from territorial disputes, eat sick/injured pack members in extreme conditions, and alpha females will sometimes kill subordinate females pups so more resources go to hers (and eat them to not waste food).
