In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Tiger barbs are aggressive fish and are very notorious fin nippers! Bottom dwellers or larger fish without longer fins, such as Mollies, Platies, Bala sharks and Parrot cichlids, are likely to be successful in the same aquarium as tiger barbs. Avoid pairing tiger barbs with fish that have large fins or tails and those that are slow swimmers, such as long-fin Danio, betta fish, Angelfish, and other veiled fish. Tiger barbs are likely to attack wounded fish, as they establish a pecking order and exert their dominance in an aquarium. It’s best to remove injured fish from the tank and house them separately until they have healed. Tiger barbs are omnivores, meaning they eat both animal and plant life. Tropical flakes, brine shrimp or other small crustaceans, daphnia, glass worms, and bloodworms are good options for your tiger barbs.  Feed your tiger barbs twice a day if you can, or once a day if that's better for your schedule. Give your fish a high-quality flake food every day. Treat them to bloodworms, brine shrimp, boiled lettuce or zucchini once a day as well.  See how much your fish will eat in 3 minutes, if feeding twice a day, or in 5 minutes, if feeding once a day, to give you an idea of the appropriate amount of food to feed them. To keep the tank clean and the water at a high quality, replace 25 to 50% of the tank water with fresh water at least once a month. This will provide oxygen as well as remove nitrates and phosphates from the water. For tiger barbs, the pH level of the water in the tank needs to stay between 6.0 and 7.0. To lower the pH, add driftwood to the aquarium or peat moss to the filter. To raise the pH, remove the fish from the tank and add 1 teaspoon of baking soda per 5 gallons of water. Always acclimate the fish to the new conditions before adding them back to the tank. If you have several tiger barbs, they will pair up naturally. However, they do eat their own eggs, as well as the eggs of other fish, so it’s best to set up a separate tank for breeding. Introduce a pair of barbs to the breeding tank and allow them to spawn. Remove the adult fish after they have spawned to allow the eggs to hatch.
Summary: Choose tank mates wisely. Quarantine injured tank mates. Feed your tiger barbs a mixed diet. Add fresh water to the tank once a month. Monitor the pH levels. Breed tiger barbs in a separate tank.

Use bleach powder and creme developer to bleach the section you’ll be dyeing. Bleaching first will let the color show up in darker hair, creating a blank canvas for the color. Once you've rinsed out the bleach and the hair is lighter, you're ready to start applying the color dye. Pour the color dye and cream developer into a plastic mixing bowl and mix them together with a clean applicator brush. Use the instructions on the box to measure out each product. With your applicator brush, start brushing the dye onto the hair. Applying the color a little higher than before will create a more natural gradient, blending together the natural hair color and the bleached hair. Fully saturate the hair with the dye, so every strand is coated. The plastic wrap will help seal in the moisture and keep the dye from drying out. Check on the dye’s progress every 5 minutes. Once the hair reaches the color intensity that you want, it’s time to take off the plastic wrap and rinse out your extensions. This will help seal in the color. Rinse out the dye and shampoo with lukewarm or cool water. Keep running water over the extensions until it runs clean. Don’t use a hydrating shampoo or conditioner during this step—these products close up the hair cuticles and make it harder for the dye to absorb into the hair. It’s important to replenish the moisture in your hair after using 2 rounds of harsh chemicals to bleach and dye. Spread a deep conditioning treatment through the damp hair and lay it out on a new sheet of foil to soak. Run cool or lukewarm water through the extensions again to remove all of the deep conditioning product. Brush your fingers through the hair to get rid of all the product residue. Towel-dry the hair with an old towel, then lay it out on a towel to air-dry completely before you wear and style it.

One-sentence summary -- Bleach the hair before you apply a brightly-colored dye. Mix the dye and developer in according to the box’s instructions. Start applying the color dye 1 inch (2.5 cm) above the bleached section. Cover the hair with plastic wrap and let it process for 30 minutes. Shampoo and rinse out the dye until the water runs clear. Soak your hair in a deep conditioning treatment for 15 minutes. Rinse out the conditioner and towel-dry the hair.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Wash your entire face and scrub your hands well, since you’ll be using your fingers during this process. If you’re wearing any lipstick or lip gloss, remove it before proceeding. You want to begin with completely clean lips. Take a damp washcloth and rub it gently over your lips, going back and forth over them several times. This will remove any dead skin cells. Scoop one tablespoon of Vaseline into a small container. Mix in two drops of cinnamon leaf essential oil (if you aren’t familiar with essential oils, you can buy them in most grocery stores on the health and wellness aisle). Make sure you are using cinnamon leaf oil, not cinnamon bark oil. Mixing with a toothpick is a handy trick.  Cinnamon oil is a natural product and doesn’t generally cause any side effects to the skin. However, if your skin is very sensitive, or you are pregnant or nursing, it is suggested that you consult a physician before trying this method. Cinnamon oil, when applied to the lips, can also reduce anxiety associated with motion sickness while traveling. Another bonus – it freshens your breath Rub it gently on your lips for 2 to 3 minutes, and then allow it to sit on your lips. You’ll feel a slight tingling sensation, which is completely normal. The cinnamon mildly irritates the skin on your lips, causing them to redden and swell slightly, producing that tingly feeling. If you feel a burning, uncomfortable sensation rather than a tingling one, remove the mixture completely from your lips and start over, creating the mixture with 1 drop of cinnamon leaf oil rather than 2. After a few more minutes pass with the mixture on your lips, you’ll notice your lips slowly start to plump and redden slightly, creating a very natural looking pout. This effect will last several hours. Once the effect wears off, you can reapply your mixture as needed, using it just like a lip gloss.

SUMMARY:
Start clean. Create your mixture. Apply your mixture. Wear the mixture as a lip gloss.
