Hi!

Can some experienced fish keepers confirm if this stocking should work?

- Celestial Danios

- Cherry Barbs

- Pair of Apistogrammas

- Burmese Glowlight Danios

- Possibly Ember Tetras

- Nerite Snail

- Clown Pleco named Bud

- Some other bottom feeder/algae eater (Suggestions?)

This is for a 40 gallon long that will be heavily planted with driftwood/rocks and sand bottom.

Thanks!

Hi, i never thought id be asking reddit for advice but im pretty in the dumps about it so here it goes:

I am M19 I have been with my girlfriend F21 for 5 years going on 6 and we had a teen pregnancy. Throughout the years ive been growing up as a regular teen should, working my butt off but also trying to be the best bf i can. I went to college and try regularly to take care of myself and try to be there for my child as much as possible.

Now the issue. She doesnt do any of it. I love her so much, but she has issues cleaning herself and after herself. Along with many trust issues, self esteem issues, and eating issues. Of course i knew this and it wasnt as bad and ive tried to get her help but she just ignores it. It doesn't help that being a father is harder due to complications at the end of the pregnancy making some resentment there. I feel like i have grown into a reasonable young adult but she hasn't grown since she was a teenager.

Again, i love her. I never want anything bad to happen, and i hope she gets the help she needs. But i have been having fights with myself over if I'm hurting myself by staying with her as i have to pay for everything and constantly coax her to clean herself after long days of work.

I tried to explain it the best i could. Im not good at this stuff. Brass tacks are she wont grow up, but im trying to but shes keeping me down with her.

Thank you for reading this, and any advice is very appreciated.
