An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.

https://dullmensclub.com/

1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.

2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.

3. Avoid repetitive topics.

4. This is not a search engine or advice forum.
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions, identify objects or get advice. We accept very few questions, and they must be over topics much more difficult than what is easily discoverable with a search. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.

5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.

6. Not hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.

7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

8. All polls must have an "Africa, by Toto" option. Why? Because we hear the drums echoing tonight.

I was going to buy a clown loach but the local store's delivery was delayed.

Edit to add: I forgot that I bought some bib coveralls on my way home.

I'm not a big believer in the supernatural, but I didn't buy a clown loach neither.

Coincidence? I think not, bibby.

I would love to see the tank you have set up.

This os the 20 gallon the clown loach was going to clean snails in. We have t assassin snails but the pond snails are proliffic.

Just added charcoal back to the 75 gallon tank after an ich breakout and treatment. Lost a pictus catfish and our bala sharks but everyone else seems to be ok now.

Thanks! My wife built all the rock and driftwood, I did the planting, and all four in the family got to pick fish.

Well, there really isn't much to eat on one of those. I hope you settled on something more substantial.

Packed with fiber, though!

This is also a day that I did not buy a fish. Happens to me a lot tbh.

Followup: they're not very active but there are a few aquarium and aquarist communities on lemmy. When I am on desktop and can format better I will link them but if you search communities for "aqua" you should find most.

I too did not buy a fish. None of them was willing to come to the house.
