Do you think you guys can tell me funny stories/funny quirks about your pets? Or send me some silly pictures of them? I’m not doing well
Here’s Miku… She likes to jump out of the water for food and managed to jump up get a live fruit fly off the bottom of a leaf that stuck above the water…
Hello Miku. You are stunningly, breathtakingly beautiful
One of my loaches in their tank today. 😂
I wanted to send a photo of Noodle but I couldn’t find her! She’s so good at hiding!
So here’s a photo of an empty tank with No Visible Eels I guess….
Hey I want you to look at some Pikeblennies (the genus Chaenopsis). At first they just look like neat long boys:
But then! Look at those big ol’ branchiostegal rays! (Those are the bony rays under the jaw).
And they scream!
So small! So much rage!
Anyway I think they look like little duck-snake-dragon hybrids and I love them very much.
That last two are ‘yelling’ at mirrors. That’s a territorial display meant to impress. They are Very Determined to be impressive.
These photos are great. In addition, a territorial fish that sees a mirror image, flares at the image, and stops seeing the image, like if you take the mirror away, thinks it’s won. It’s probably satisfying as heck for them.
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.
