This is the most common disease among neon tetras. The first sign is swimming away from tankmates. Affected tetras will also lose their neon stripe and develop spots or cysts on their dorsal fins. As soon as you recognize early symptoms, relocate the sick fish to a quarantine tank immediately. The disease is almost always incurable, but it never hurts to ask the vet for advice. It's normal for neon tetras to become dull in color at night. This is the result of special skin cells called chromatophores taking a rest. However, if the dullness continues during the day for several days in a row, the fish may be ill. Ich is a highly contagious parasite that takes the form of small white cilia-covered spots on the fish's body, which look like salt. To fight it, slowly raise the tank temperature to at least 86F (30C) for three days. This should kill the parasite. If the spots don't disappear after three days, put your fish in a quarantine tank and add cupramine (copper solution) to the water. Follow the instructions on the label. Keep the copper levels at 0.2 ppm. You can measure copper levels with a salifert test kit that you can buy in hobby stores. Kill the Ich in the original tank with aquarium salts, which you can buy in pet supply stores. Add one teaspoon (5 g) per gallon (4 L) of water every 12 hours for 36 hours. Let the salt remain in the tank for 7 to 10 days. If you have plastic plants, aquarium salts will melt them. For the sake of your tetras, toss the plants. Unhealthy neon tetras can also develop skin flukes, bacterial infections and diseases, and parasitic infections. Talk to your vet or read books that detail the symptoms and treatments of all diseases your fish might develop. In many cases, catching the early symptoms and taking immediate action can save your fish.

summary: Quarantine fish with Neon Tetra Disease. Treat Ich through environmental changes and medicine. Research other diseases.

Mindfulness meditation is one of the most popular styles of meditation for reducing anxiety. To practice it, you must simply focus all of your attention on the present moment, which helps retrain the brain not to fixate on the past or on the future. It's natural for your thoughts to wander, so don't get discouraged. If thoughts or emotions come up, acknowledge them, but do not judge yourself for them. Then do your best to replace them with thoughts about the present. Keeping your eyes open will help you stay focused on the present. Many people like to consciously focus on their breathing while meditating, which helps keep breaths deep, while also preventing other thoughts from taking over the mind. If you are having trouble staying focused on your breath, you can try counting your breaths or repeating the words "inhale" and "exhale" to yourself silently. Loving-kindness meditation is similar to mindfulness meditation in that you replace unwanted thoughts with other thoughts. Instead of focusing your thoughts on the present moment, however, you can focus them on anything that involves love and kindness. Your thoughts should express love and kindness towards yourself, as well as towards others. You can practice mindfulness meditation and loving-kindness meditation together, as they complement each other nicely. Guided meditation is sometimes called visualization. This meditation style involves thinking deeply about a place or situation that you find relaxing. When practicing this type of meditation, you should try to engage all of your senses by imagining the sights, smells, sounds, tastes, and feelings that you would experience if you were really there. Guided meditation can be done alone, but it is often done in a class under the instruction of a teacher. If you choose to practice transcendental meditation, you will repeat a mantra to yourself to help achieve relaxation. This mantra can be any word, phrase, or sound that you find comforting. The way you say the mantra is also important. You should be focusing deeply on every aspect of the mantra. Meditation does not always have to be done sitting down. In fact, there are a variety of practices that combine exercise and meditation. If you don't like sitting still, this may be the perfect option for you. Tai chi, qi gong, and yoga are all practices that involve movement, as well as meditation. If you are interested in learning one of these practices, they are offered at many fitness clubs and community centers. You can also try watching an instructional video. If you want to add a less structured physical component to your meditation practice, you can also consider walking while you meditate. As long as you are able to stay focused, this movement should not inhibit your meditation at all.

summary: Practice mindfulness meditation. Consider loving-kindness meditation. Try guided meditation. Experiment with transcendental meditation. Incorporate movement into your meditation.

Do you remember the first time you saw dinosaur bones at the museum? Or the first time you ate a really good peach? Your world expanded at that moment by a fraction and you became a little wiser. The Buddhist concept of "beginner's mind" refers to the approach of a person just starting out, filled with the wonder of new learning, and being challenged anew by it. Always keep a curious and open mind. Rather than prejudging situations, learn to keep your mind open and tell yourself "I don't know what to expect," which will allow you to learn and gain wisdom. When you cease to have a fixed idea of people, things, and situations surrounding you, you grow in wisdom by soaking up changes, new ideas, and don't set any person above or beneath you. . Learning doesn't stop just because you might have graduated from high school or college, or that you've got kids and have lots of experience you'd like to teach them. Even if you're a teacher at the highest level or an expert in your field, you're not done learning. A wise person questions their motivations, questions widely accepted knowledge, and learns to love asking questions in moments of ignorance, because a wise person knows when it is time to learn. Anais Nin neatly summed up this need to continue learning: "Life is a process of becoming, a combination of states we have to go through. Where people fail is that they wish to elect a state and remain in it. This is a kind of death." When you share knowledge, you also learn better since you recognize your own understanding and how you may organize the information better. . Be still at least once a day, to allow yourself time to rest and to stop taking in the rush of the world. Being constantly busy and worrying incessantly about being seen as inadequate may make you a paragon of workplace virtue but it does not make you wise. Stop. Stand still. Take in what the unhurried perspective brings to you. Fill your time with contemplation. Fill your free time with learning rather than distractions. If you find yourself filling downtime with television or video games, try to substitute an hour of television with 1 hour of reading or choose instead to watch a nature documentary you've been meaning to watch. Better yet, go outside and go for a hike in the woods. . It's not always important to voice your opinion in a group or to contribute something just because you can. Wise people don't always need to prove their knowledge. If your opinion is necessary, give it. An old adage goes, "The best samurai lets the sword rust in its scabbard." This isn't to say you should withdraw socially or never speak. Rather, be receptive to others and be a good listener. Don't just wait for your turn to speak because you think you're wiser than everyone else in the room. That's not wisdom, that's egotism.
summary: Cultivate the mind of a beginner. Ask lots of questions Slow down Think first and talk second
