“Around sundown, an adult Scorpio and several adolescents came trundling into our camp and attempted to communicate, clumsily. After we got the xenoanthropologist in to help translate for us, we discovered that they were attempting to initiate a trade for supplies. Pictured, research assistant Max haggling for a crude hand-axe.
It seemed rude to turn them down.
The hand-axe was purchased for a single protein bar after we ensured that it contained no ingredients that posed any threat to the Scorpio, and they left with their bounty, satisfied.”
Alright, this is adorable. Might not have much use for a hand axe, but isn’t that a cool souvenir? “oh, yeah, I traded a snack to a member of a sapient alien species for that.”
Finally got my dream tank running. My little Ryukin water puppies seem to enjoy schooling around which is really cute to see. They like to follow the tiny little babies around for some reason? The smallest fish I have is the gang leader.
If you’re wondering why
there is a bucket in there? That’s because while I do have
my dream tank, my dream filtration system is still on the to-buy list.
If you ever find yourself short a filter something like my bucket idea might help you. It’s a cheapo ebay pond pump in the bottom of a hardware store plastic bucket, the biological media out of the old canister filter poured around it and some cotton filter material on top of the ceramics and a couple river pebbles to hold it down.
Didn’t actually cost me a cent because I had the stuff lying around already. You could use something similar. All you need is water flow and something to direct it over your media.
Oh, nice! I bet your goldies love it, all that sand to play in, and they’re gonna look amazing once they get big.
Give them a couple ping-pong balls, goldies like to play with them.
