Feathered animals freak me out not sure why maybe the cold dead eyes he looks like he's about to attack me at any moment lol

I've been tagged by bristle worms a lot and I've had them imbed some spines in my jawbreaker mushroom too. With the stings to me I removed what I could but broke a lot off in my fingers it's just itchy for a loooooong time (2 months) till they work out by themselves but I had my finger swell up a lot 2 months after an initial sting, once. What happened was it was cold and I lost circulation in the finger when it returned my finger swole up big time, like a sausage lol. Then the spot blistered and when that was over no problem(they worked themselves out). No biggie just be careful! Just got bored so I shared a bit of experience lol

Oh no, he is a lovebug! I have some nerve damage on my arm from a cockatoo bite, so I should be terrified, but I can't stay away haha. I actually was talking with someone the other day about how chickens have the most human like eyes of any birds I have seen up close.

Ouch! I am glad I avoided that lol. I would be so mad about the shroom, more so then my finger lol! I have had a few steal food from my rock nem, so once I get a chance to go somewhere that isn't work or home to get supplies, I will be declaring war

Well pack it up because I've already had a few lol. They are like sugar free cookies, there isn't anything weird like gizzards in them lol. Actually my son grabbed one and ate all the icing off it the other day lol

I freaked about the shroom but it was fine after I used a powerhead to wash the spines out. It wrapped all around a 2 1/2 inch shroom. No one knew what to do lol you got some biggies if they're eating your nems food :0 Arrow crabs keep them in line though!!

They really aren't that big, just tenacious lol. I had some huuuuge ones in my old 120, but they never bothered anything. I've thought about an arrow crab, but I don't think I would want to keep him after the bw are gone. That's good about the shroom too

Haha I'll give you a pass, unless you really wanna learn lol. When I worked at petco we used to eat the oreo cookies off the treat bar, they are actually really good lol. Some of these dog treats are pretty much the same as real cookies nowadays, just without all the delicious sugar hahaha.

Thanks, it really wasn't as bad as it looked. I'm just glad the tape worked and got them all out pretty easily. Idk what I would do if my middle finger was out of commission. I live in Pittsburgh, home of the "Pittsburgh left" and the (for some reason) dreaded squirrel hill tunnels after all haha.

How's the finger!

It is back in commission and working just fine

An aptasia rating filefish will also eat bristle worms. I always found mine with bristles all over his mouth. I've gotten hit by a few bristles. The tape trick works wonders. I'm also one of the lucky few to be allergic to the fox face and spent 2 days in the hospital getting antibiotics run through me non stop. I was the med students favorite patient. They came by he dozens to ask dumb questions haha.

Haha he is fun. I am hoping he will be the new store pet since we can't actually sell him in city limits. He was supposed to be a she...

I am going to try the panty hose method before another fish I think.

That thing posed like a champ
