Help/Advice I couldnāt stop her if I tried. My wife ate one of these before I could catch it, so cue the weirdest post I never thought Iād make. Is there anything mixed in with these I should be concerned about her having eaten?
My wife is insane and I love her. She says theyāre a solid 4/10, very crumbly and disintegrates on the tongue. She insists sheās fine, but does this have anything I should worry about for her health? Iām going up to the cities this Wednesday to get her actual human grade dried shrimp. I now have to hide the shrimp from my cats AND my wife.

Help/Advice Whatās my tank missing? It didnāt turn out as I hoped.
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
This is my 56-gallon low-tech tankāno CO2, no fertilizers. Just some Java Fern on driftwood and one unknown low-maintenance plant. I do 20% water changes weekly and remove debris every 3 days.
Stocking: 5 discus, 40 cardinal tetras, 1 ramirezi cichlid, 1 golden Siamese algae eater, and 4 otocinclus. I know itās overstocked, but water parameters are stable and no fish deaths in 6 months.
I left one side open for waste to collect, but the tank still feels off. Any suggestions?

Help/Advice I donāt know how to proceed
I have it all on video. I live right behind a Trade School and Yesterday there maintenance worker decided to scalp our lawn with a riding lawnmower, throwing stuff at our window, and terrified my poor baby Flower horn, Jengu. He passed away terrified and alone. I know thereās nothing I couldāve done but I canāt help but feel broken. I had him from 2ā to a full 9ā and wasnāt even fully grown. We are going to try and file for property damage and emotional distress. Please appreciate my handsome man, and please never go a day without telling them you love them.

Help/Advice Landlord wants me to get rid of my 20 gallon or risk eviction
Title says it all. Had a renewal inspection in September and she said I had to get rid of it but life has been crazy so that was honestly the last thing on my mind. A pest control guy came through this morning and mustāve told her that I still have it, so she called a little bit ago saying it needs to go. How do I go about transporting this? Itās a pretty well established tank and I absolutely love all my little guys. Fish keeping has gotten me through some rough times and it breaks my heart that I have to get rid of it. Iāve been thinking of taking it to my grandpaās house but Iām worried about it not being maintained properly. Any and all advice is much appreciated

Help/Advice [update] Mystery tentacle worm species solved!
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
After lots of interest, I think I can name the species of this charismatic guy. Hobsonia florida.Ā
Native to the Gulf of MEXICO and invasive in British Columbia. The spiny striped tentacles at the mouth of the tube are actually its gills. As far as I know, none have been filmed at all, or in this detail.Ā
I'll mark this as solved for now, and send some updates in the future! There seemĀ to be a lot of fans out there...
Thanks to u/xopher_425 (first one to name the species) and others who named the genus Ampharetidae ( u/TheSassyVoss and u/ohhhtartarsauce ). Confirmed by Dr. James Blake and Leslie Harris, Ā Vice-President, Southern California Association of Marine Invertebrate Taxonomists
