LGBTQ+ Poultry Keepers

I IDed as Ace for quite a few years. For me it turned out that I was very uncomfortable with my body and it took the right people and hormones to help me gain my self confidence. That being said, the asexual community is filled with wonderful people who helped me out and let me know that there was nothing “wrong” with the who I was and how I felt. I will always be grateful for them. And I wish it was a term more commonly known, as there are a few women in my life who I think could benefit from that community.

Hey you! Long time no see!
 
I may have gotten. A few books. Just a few though.

Any idea which of these I should read first?
 
Frankenstein is probably one of my favorite books of all time. Really gorgeous writing and so many ways to interpret the messaging.

I wish I liked Dorian Gray. I remember really liking the first half, but felt disappointed with the writing and plot of the second. I haven’t read it since high school, though. Probably around the time I started this thread! Still worth reading and an important part of Queer history.

I use methylene blue for my Thai Orandas; I use it before I put them in their new home. When I buy new fish I request the breeder to use clean water in their bag with no medicine.

Methylene blue are medicine after all; you don't want to put them in medicine throughout the entire travel. It's kind of like we don't go drown ourselves in medicine.

What I do, is bathe them in Methylene Blue for 10 min; it's best you do it after acclimating them to the new temperature; open their bag put methylene blue into their transport bag (two drops would do) while you're at it pour water from their new tank into their bag so they can get use to the new water (assuming the water source at your new place is different from your current water source) this is to prevent new tank syndrome. Repeat the tank water into bag water process 10 times using a little cup (a small measuring cup would do).

Then if you have a big bowl or container you can put tank water into the container and add 1 tsp of potassium permanganate to the water add an airstone bathe the fish for 5 min if you can; if you see them floating or gasping for air move them into their new home immediately. The potassium treatment is optional; it's just for parasite prevention because they might be stressed during transport and immune system would be a little down, which parasites would take advantage of (especially during the change of seasons).

After you move your fish to their new home; if you use air stones blast the water with oxygen, add salt (salt help gills function, slime production, and get rid of extra parasites), and turn off the light so they can rest. Leave them like that for 1 day. Then you can do a water change 25% by the end of the week to remove the salinity in the water. (If you have plants it's best not to put them in the tank when adding salt)
That makes sense. Thanks for the advice! I'll take a couple notes of this!
