I upgraded my Lightly Salted Shrimp and Snail Soup (aka my Opae Ula (

Halocaridina rubra) brackish water tank). They were in a 1 gallon tank (the first two pictures) and they will now be in a 3.5 gallon tank that just finished cycling (last three pictures). The new tank has a lava rock, much more crushed coral, and a large shell for hiding. It looks pretty bare without plants but they naturally live in anchialine pools in Hawaii so not many plants thrive there. Thinking about buying some macroalgae though.

The tank will hold my 9 shrimp and my snails, though the snails recently had offspring so I will have to wait for them to be larger in order to transfer them. Hopefully soon the shrimp will berry! (Both the shrimp and snails are captive-bred so that none came directly from Hawaii). Hopefully they all thrive in their new home.

Thank you for tagging me! Brackish tanks are always so interesting to me

Hey, my Opae Ula are in that exact aquarium! They have white sand and some coral rock that I found in Hawaii. Also a big ole clump of macroalgae. 

That’s awesome! Do you have any snails

No snails, I wanted to keep the tank no-feeding for as long as possible so they’ll do well while I’m away at college. I have 10, since January this year. One berried up for a little while but I haven’t seen babies yet. There’s algae all over the place, so they don’t need any food. I found the rock for their aquarium washed up on a beach, and I think there must have been algae spores or something of the sort on the rock, because it only took a couple weeks for ~5 different kinds to grow. I haven’t fed them once and don’t think I’ll need to until the colony at least triples in size. All I have to do is top off the water once a week. 

They’re such great little pets! I like watching them doot around the tank. Cute round guys. Hopefully mine will breed soonish. I’d eventually like to upgrade them to at least a 5 gallon, preferably more, and add snails. 

Did you get yours from petshrimp.com? That’s where I got mine. I suggest ordering the macroalgae from them if you decide to get some, it’s a neat algae and has been doing well under just the little LED that came with the tank. The bundle has about quadrupled in size since January.

Someone told my ex-dad (not a sex thing; he just disowned me) that I’m trans and now he’s threatening to come to work and make a scene, and I know I should be upset, but like. What’s he gonna say exactly? And to whom? Because imagining a haggard and likely shitfaced Pennsylvania construction worker barging through the grocery store like, “HEY!!! THAT BROAD-HIPPED 5’3” EFFEMINATE KID WITH THE CONSPICUOUSLY BIZARRE NAME WHO SPEAKS IN A CARTOONISHLY AFFECTED CARICATURE OF MASCULINITY AIN’T GOT NO DICK!!! YOU GONNA BUY SCRATCH OFF TICKETS FROM SOME KINDA DICKLESS ABOMINATION??“ is wild. What’s it going to accomplish? Or is he gonna call my manager? “HELLO, I’D LIKE TO REPORT A FRAUD IN YOUR DELI DEPARTMENT. THERE IS NOT SAUSAGE AS ADVERTISED.” What the fuck.

i was babysitting a little boy and girl once and the boy asked me if i had a boyfriend and i said “no!! but i have a girlfriend!” and he said “like a friend thats a girl?” and i said “no like a boyfriend but they’re a girl instead of a boy! we still do couple things but we’re just both girls” and he said, without missing a beat, “oh ok! are you gonna marry her?”

like it’s literally that easy for kids to understand

the cutest part of this was when afterwards the kid said ‘so i could have a boyfriend if i wanted to?’ and i said yes, but to be careful because some people are mean to boys who have boyfriends and he pushes up his sleeves and goes ‘well then i’ll beat them up! if i wanna have a boyfriend i’m gonna have a boyfriend!!! i’ll even marry him if i wanna!’

oh hey it got more adorable
