Ok, edited. 666 be silent if it ever comes to fruition lol. I'm not a raging lunatic, just my normally calm demeanor gets tested way too often. Plus when your significant other is upset and crying I just tend to see red. I can be a real shit but she is 100% good person.

Fuck the commercial real estate company my lovely g/f WAS working for. They harassed her at work, made her work 80+ hrs a week and tried to get out of paying her, humiliated her to the point where she would often come home crying and my g/f is tough as nails. She had back surgery over the summer and was set to go back to work this coming Monday and they fire her listing a bunch of really bullshit shady reasons.

Sounds like a bullet dodged. If something that makes you THAT unhappy, you shouldn't be doing it regardless of financial necessities!

Life's too short!

Corydoras bitching 2.0...

I got a peppered cory and big emerald cory to live with my finless albino cory. (long story short, I was away for about a month and my parents over fed the fish, resulting in a bad nitrate spike which seemingly burned off it's fins... And it lived just fine once I fixed everything.)

The peppered cory had some kind of sore on its fin which I attributed to a bumpy car ride, but then it started spreading over the next day to all his fins and BAM, dead.

I check all my other fish, and they're absolutely vibrant and fine... Except for Mr. Albino. His fin stumps look funny. BAM, he's dead the next morning.

I have one cory left. Big fat happy emerald cory, no sign of any illness. We watch him closely and he's doing fine. Finally the tank is happy and healthy and blahblahblah.

THEN one morning I turn the fish light on and THE CORY IS GONE. I'm going nuts and my boyfriend shines a light under the dresser we keep the tank on, and there he is, fucking dried and mummified. HE JUMPED OUT THE 2x1 FEEDING HOLE IN OUR FISH TANK COVER.

FFFFUUUUUUUCCCCKKKK.
... I should really stop keeping fish.

Awww! I'm sorry to hear all of that...

For the future, it sounds like they got skin infections (duh, you say). There are a few things that can be done to help rehabilitate such a problem:

  • Stress Coat and other similar products can be added to the tank to help replace a fishes' natural skin defense.
  • Freshwater Aquarium Salt, it sounds funny, but most natural bodies of water have a nominal amount of salt in them. Tap water usually doesn't, so it needs to be added back in small amounts for an optimal environment. Adding salt to the water has a similar effect on the fishes' breathing as a human going to a higher elevation; it ups the oxygen concentration which can aid in healing and stress relief.
  • Melafix is a topical tea tree oil solution for fish. It's antiseptic properties can help to kill off the offending bacteria/fungus and keep the wounds clean.
  • Pimafix is a specifically anti-fungal medicine made to work alongside Melafix.

I didn't really intend to pimp put Aquarium Pharmaceuticals products, but in my limited experience they do work well in aquariums smaller the 100 gallons. If you use the salt, you can try something neat that we used to do at the store: put the salt dosage into a clear solo cup or glass, and place in on its side on the bottom of the tank. Fish will go and visit the little "decompression room" to hang out occasionally. If you notice one individual is in there a lot it can be an early sign of illness/stress.

About the poor fella that committed "suicide"; when a schooling fish like a Cory is alone they can get worked up and race around the tank, including jumping and bouncing off the lid (especially the corners, where access points tend to be located). It was probably just nervous about being alone and trying to entertain itself when *bam* it ended up on the floor. :cry:

My sympathies!

Thanks for the condolences, boo and Purple. It's been quite a bummer losing these guys.

I went to PetSmart (I really should stop shopping there but it's really closeby) but took your advice and picked up some Stress Coat and Melafix. I had Stress Coat to begin with and always put some in when I got new fish, but I think it's something like 8 years old... So I bought a new bottle to be on the safe side. Also got an emerald, albino, and julii cory.

I'm playing it super safe this time, putting Melafix and Stress Coat, floating the bag, taking out the filter so the Melafix can circulate... And keeping the damn receipt this time around in case they all kick the bucket anyway.

Got my fingers crossed.

And oh hell, that is so immensely depressing that my emerald cory got lonely and became a nervous wreck... I knew they were social little buggers, but I didn't think being without another cory would be so hard on the little fellow. :( Never going to keep a cory solo again!

Fuck I am so tired but can not seem to sleep a full night or day.......

Do electric sheep care about a dreaming Android?

SLEEP why are you so elusive? I have not got a good nights sleep in
almost 4 months now. Totally serious I sleep in 3- 4 hour shifts at the
very best. I am not a fan of pills but I am considering trying sleeping
pills to see if it will help. Anyone take these on a regular basis?

Any problems waking up or side effects otherwise?

Post Re: F**K YOU thread again
I've been having similar issues since the beginning of summer. I sleep in a 3 hour shift, wake up, am up for about an hour to three hours, then I get sleepy again... Except that for second shift, I can sleep up to 10 hours. If I don't sleep enough for second shift, I'll get sleepy midday. If I don't take a nap midday, I'll have a terrible headache by the evening.
Talk about a vicious cycle...

I've tried Benadryl and melatonin to no avail. I've tried staying awake for 16 hours but I still wake up 3 hours after going to sleep. Nothing seems to work so I've just had to learn to live with it and use the early hours that I'm awake constructively. :(

As for pills... I really don't recommend them. I used to be on Lunesta back in high school and it was awful but necessary. (Had trouble falling asleep, not staying asleep.) Most sleeping pills don't put you to sleep, but instead turn you into a zombie by affecting your mind. I would sometimes take Lunesta and make the terrible mistake of going on the computer to check something, and then 3 hours later I'd remember that I was supposed to go to sleep. You just completely zone out. If you don't get a full night's sleep while on Lunesta you sometimes feel weird in the morning, like a little electric sensation in your head. It's unpleasant. :/
Not to mention all those crazy stories of sleepwalking and cooking food while on Ambien!

Ever try time release melatonin? It may help as it releases more as u sleep. Regular melatonin just helps u become tired or fall asleep but wears off quickly so it doesnt help u stay asleep.

Dang, they have that? Guess I either wasn't looking hard enough in the vitamin section, or maybe the place I bought my melatonin from didn't carry it... But that sounds like an awesome idea to try, falling asleep isn't an issue, it's waking up for no reason three hours later! :(

Thanks so much, I'll definitely have to look into that!

I've had insomnia my whole life but I'm convinced some people just need less sleep than others. Don't fight your body on that. The myth everyone needs 8 hours is bullshit. I routinely get only 5-6 hrs, which is ok but sometimes my sleep patterns are disrupted and I keep waking up. Usually the result is 3-4 hrs sleep max and in shifts. I dread those days because I'm tired all day and keep dozing off fighting sleep when I need to be awake in lecture.

I use to take melatonin which would help me fall asleep but not necessarily keep me asleep longer. I think most sleeping problems are related to stress. For instance if I'm thinking about all the papers I have to write and freaking out about finishing them, or I'm excited for the next day (because of something happening) those factors tend to keep me up thinking and preventing sleep. Or if I ignore my body at night telling me to go to sleep I miss my opportunity and have trouble falling asleep later. I think the key is just listening to your body and shutting down all stimuli. I've been taking Tylenol PM recently help establish a sleep patten with mixed results. I try not to take it every night because I want my body to naturally acclimate itself to a bed time. Unfortunately my work/stress level varies from week to week. Mainly use it like a force shut down option on a computer and not have that 3-4hr keep waking up horrific sleep lol.

I used to be an insomniac. I would never feel sleepy even if I was tired. ANd when I fell asleep anything would wake me. I went to a sleeping disorders clinic. They gave me pills for two months. They said they 'activated' my sleep. And it worked! :shock: After that I would sleep anywhere at any unsuspected time! :lol: But then I went back and they gave me different pills for another month to regulate my sleeping needs. It worked perfectly, now I sleep almost immediately when I go to bed, and don't wake up as easily. They also gave me a list of 'sleeping hygiene' to dos. They included doing a list of things you have pending or stressing you. Not drinking water 3 ahours before goint to bed, having some nice blinders, courtains, etc... ear plugs if necessary, only using your bed for sleeping. No t.v., working, reading (which I actually do), eating... it included others but I really can't remember, it was 8 years ago and I really stopped doing all of them when I discovered I could sleep pretty well now.

Huh, never been to a sleep clinic. And stress is definitely a huge problem for me at the moment. Lots of family bullshit going on.
Maybe I'll give the sleep clinic a shot if this continues into my next semester, seems a lot more constructive than just saying "hey doc, I can't sleep" and getting prescribed some pills without knowing the actual cause.

I've found it can also help to condition yourself to sleep with a noise machine/white noise. This always helps me as I have trouble sleeping anywhere but my own bed (maybe I'm over condition!) and I always take a noise machine or use an app on my phone when at a hotel or elsewhere. I definitely suggest following the rule of only sleeping in bed (well maybe not just sleeping :P ) but no tv or any other stimulus that may keep you awake... unless of course you have conditioned yourself to fall asleep to the tv. You can pretty much train yourself to associate anything with sleep.

Post Re: F**K YOU thread again
sometimes i just do not have words to relate how
much it eats me up inside. a simple FU really is
not as effective in any such relevant contexts

man's inhumanity and destructive nature seems
oblivious to others where as it has always hurt
me to the depths of my personal existence

i wish at times that i could just really get away
from everything but the impact would simply
just hang on and feed like a true parasite

i used to try to focus on anything that would
distract the negative unproductive thinking
then over time got consumed- am i a ghost?

its like trying to see the sunlight and feel its
warmth while standing on the bottom of the
ocean. like holding on to grains of sand.......

nothing can soothe the bitterness this has
caused and continues to gnaw way at the
foundation of reality itself until i am drained

i can neither accept this nor alter the damage
to some semblance of acceptable living. as if
there were an alternative- what a fool i am?

i will not hold my breath for the respiration no
longer sustains the part of me that cared at
all. please understand it was not as i wished

no not FU i will not give you the satisfaction
of taking pleasure in your perception of the
results of what you did- i withdraw you lose

thank you friend for offering the kind words
and suggestion to stay in the light. may you
find peace and your dignity be untarnished

ghosts are unaware they remain which is
why they seek the light and if that light
can not be found they will never really die

On the sleep issue - Try cutting back on your caffeine. I used to say that caffeine didn't affect me and that I was able to sleep even if I had just downed lots of it, but over the past couple years I've learned how wrong I was. After reading up on what it does to you (it stops your brain from receiving the chemical it needs to fully relax / rest), I started only drinking caffeine on the weekends and never after 3pm. Caffeine has a half-life of about 6 hours, meaning that if you drink a cup of coffee at 4pm, you still have half a cup of coffee's worth of caffeine in your system at 10pm. And that caffeine is preventing your brain from getting the rest it needs.

After changing my caffeine habits, my sleep greatly improved. It wasn't that it was any easier for me to fall asleep, but I definitely stay asleep for longer, and I feel more rested when I wake up. I would definitely suggest giving it a try if you feel like you're not getting quality sleep.
