Daily fish fact #485

European bitterling!

This species lays their eggs inside live freshwater mussels! The developing eggs and young fry will then stay protected inside the mussels for up to a month after hatching.

Once again outlining a story idea by repeatedly asking myself: what’s the stupidest thing that could happen to these characters right now? How can I really inconvenience them?

Tfw your husband’s dead previous wife turns out not dead after all but was stranded in the space bermuda triangle for a while, and for some reason now you’re the one who has to pick her up from the hospital and bring her home, but all the planes get cancelled so now you two gotta drive a cheap rental car all the way across the country. Also you hate each other because you both think the other one is way sexier than you. You might decide to kiss angrily about it.

In past days, it was possible to obtain, at least for aquarists in the UK, at least two species of bitterling, Bitterling, which are cyprinids of the genus Rhodeus, are of interest for their fascinating life cycle, one that is based on depositing its eggs within a freshwater mussel, as a protected environment for the growth of its offspring. Sadly the bivalve is difficult to care for in aquaria, and almost always dies. So it is very difficult to breed bitterlings in the home aquarium, and it should not be attempted by those unable to respect and care for the mussel, that must live with the breeding fish. Bitterling possess a very large, tubular ovipositor, for the purpose of positioning their eggs inside the living mussel. Indeed the size of this structure, relative to the length of the bitterling, is visually striking.

One of the species traded, was R. ocellatus, the rosy species from East Asia. In fact the species once had a much smaller range, for it was once restricted entirely to the island of Taiwan. Centuries ago, this species was introduced to mainland China, as well as Korea and Japan. Since those days, populations have invasively colonised quite far flung locations, but the latitudinal range of this species in Asia, ought to inform us as to its tolerances. For it is established in Beijing just as it is in Hong Kong, although the latitude of Beijing suffers far more severe winters.

Rosy bitterlings are common in vegetated farm ponds and irrigation channels, and they grow to around 9 centimeters, or under 4 inches long. These species display sexual dimorphism, with the females growing to only a mere 2/3 of the length of their male counterparts. Originally this species preferred lakes, natural ponds, and sufficiently slow moving rivers. But now it is quite synanthropic, and is considered a nuisance on fish farms, where they are believed to compete with the juveniles of the cultivated species.

Rosy bitterlings appreciate a rather neutral pH, and a temperture range suited for a warm temperate to subtropical fish. 28 degrees centigrade might be regarded as a good upper limit duriǹg the summer season, dropping to a few degrees below zero, in the wintertime. Although this fish has become established long ago, in some regions where the winter air temperature is often below freezing, most of its populations do not. And it is unnecessary to expose this fish, to such low winter temperatures. Although a winter drop in temperature, is natural for these bitterlings.

When intending to accommodate R. ocellatus, their aquarium should be well planted, and the provided substrate fine, to reflect their natural habitat. Other peaceful fish can cohabit with bitterlings, although they will need to share its requirements as a non-tropical species. Like a great many cyprinids, R. ocellatus naturally form schools with their conspecifics. Their diet is recorded in the wild, to be omnivorous with a vegetarian tilt, including both algal and small arthropod components, but diatoms are their primary food source in the wild.

<<Farm!Elllie Williams x Fem!Reader>>

Sinopsis: Just a regular night at you farm house, but recently you've been having nightmares. Luckily, you have your girl right besides you to let you know you are safe.

Warning: just fluffy and soft Ellie with a big heart.

"Tess!" You screamed, opening your eyes suddenly.

Your breathing accelerated and your heart beating in your chest, ~for a moment you felt like it was going to come out~.

You sat up on the bed and placed a hand on your chest, while the other one rested on the mattress to help you maintain your balance.

Warm tears began to run down your cheeks just by remembering the nightmare you had had.

Your daughter, your baby, your little world, in the middle of a horde of infected, completely alone and helpless as she screamed for you, and you couldn't do anything to help her.

You had found her one day when you were out hunting. She was wrapped in a blanket next to a stuffed rabbit, completely asleep. There was a note on top of the stuffed animal.

"She's only 2 months old. Please take care of her before it's too late for her as it is for us."

The first time you held her in your arms, you felt as if that baby had automatically taken over a piece of your heart. She opened her eyes and you fell in love with the little one.

You decided to name her after your mother, Joel's smuggling partner who died more than 6 years ago. You loved your mother, and losing her was like losing a part of you. And as you held the little girl in your arms, It was like finding that lost part again.

That was 6 months ago.

You heard someone calling your name next to you in bed and you finally snapped out of your thoughts to turn your head, meeting your lover.

"I'm sorry. Did I wake you up?" You asked Ellie in a whisper.

The green-eyed sat up in bed and cupped your wet cheek.

"The dreams again?" She asked you and you nodded.

"I'm sorry." You said wiping away tears.

"You don't have to apologize for anything, love." She assured you.

You had met Ellie when your mother and Joel were assigned on taking her to the Firefly's base, so they could make her the cure for humanity. That same trip was the one on which your mother died, and the rest is history.

You turned your head to see the crib your daughter was resting in peacefully, two meters away from the bed you and Ellie were on.

You slowly got out of bed and walked towards your baby. Tess was curled up in a ball, a pacifier between her lips that she sucked freely, and the same stuffed rabbit that you had found her with, in her arms.

You were hypnotized watching her, her blonde hair reminded you of your mother, and you smiled slightly when you saw her so healthy and calm, without any worries going through her little head.

A pair of arms were wrapped around your waist, and Ellie's chin rested on your left shoulder. You closed your eyes and enjoyed the small moment.

Those simple gestures from Ellie were what made you fall in love with her. She knew exactly how to make yourself feel safe with a single action.

"I'm really sorry I woke you up." You said and Ellie gave you a kiss on the shoulder.

"It's okay, don't worry." She whispered and you stroked her arms. "I love you, you know that?"

"Yes. You remind me of that every day." You said with a smile. You turned your head and met her beautiful green eyes. "And I like to remind you that I love you much more."

"Don't start a fight you won't win." Ellie said and you both shared a small laugh before turning their eyes to the little girl in the crib. "I love you both, with everything I have." She said and you felt your heart warm.

"And we love you." You assured her.

"I know." Ellie's hands roamed your waist slowly and then positioned themselves on either side of you before guiding you back to the bed. "We have to rest." She dropped you onto the mattress and positioned herself next to you to cup your face.

"I hate those nightmares." You said bitterly.

"Everything is fine. Nothing will happen to Tess or you, I will make sure of that." She told you completely seriously.

You approached her face and left a sweet kiss on her lips, then settled into the crook of her neck and inhaled her aroma, which always brought you calm.

Little by little your breathing became slower and slower to the point that your eyelids became so heavy that you closed them and fell into a deep sleep, while the arms of the love of your life wrapped around you, keeping you warm and safe.

♡♡♡

The next morning, you woke up to the little girl crying. In the night you had moved and ended up with your back against Ellie's chest.

You opened your eyes trying to get used to the sunlight and yawned. Ellie's arms pulled you tighter against her and her breath on your neck gave you goosebumps.

"Love." You called her without getting any response. "Honey, Tess has to eat." You said and this time you heard a small whimper from your girlfriend.

Ellis slowly got up and stretched before getting out of bed.

"I got it." She said and walked slowly to the crib. When she reached it she put her hands on the bars and smiled at the little girl inside. "Good morning, princess." She greeted her, causing the crying to subside. The green-eyed girl took Tess into her arms and gave her a few kisses on her cheeks, making her laugh. "We'll go have breakfast and let mommy take a hot shower." Ellie said and then looked at you with a smile. "Say bye to mommy, Tess."

The little girl looked at you with her big eyes and you smiled at her, while she looked at you and let out a shout of joy, making you laugh.

Ellie left with Tess in her arms, leaving you alone. You went to the bathroom and took your time in the hot water, relaxing your tense muscles and simply enjoying the moment alone, knowing that your girls were waiting for you in the kitchen.

You dried yourself and when your hair was damp but not dripping, you went back to the room. You stole a light blue shirt from Ellie and put on some baggy gray pants.

When you went down to the kitchen you found a scene straight out of a movie. Ellie with the frying pan in her right hand, while holding the little blonde with her left arm.

She was dancing back and forth to the music that came from the record player, while Tess watched attentively as the green-eyed flipped the pancake, and the little one ended up clapping and laughing.

"I think she really likes watching you cook." You said walking closer.

They both turned their heads. Tess extended her arms asking you to pick her up, and Ellie passed her to you without a problem.

"We were already missing you." Your girlfriend said, turning back to continue cooking the pancakes.

You smiled and looked at your daughter who was now touching your left cheek with her hand. You could feel her hand was somewhat drooling, meaning she had put it in her mouth, and you laughed.

"Do you like watching mama cook, baby?" You asked and Tess laughed.

"Of course she likes to watch me cook. I'm quite a show." Ellie responded.

"You have a very cocky mother." You said softly towards the baby, but loud enough for the auburn-haired to hear.

"Hey!" She said turning around again and you just laughed and took Tess to the dining room table.

A few minutes later, Ellie appeared in the dining room with a plate of stacked pancakes, a jug of orange juice, and Tess's bottle. She left everything on the table and sat next to you.

"I see you woke up feeling like pampering." You said amused.

"All for my girls." She said the same way. You sat Tess on your lap and took the lid off the bottle full of warm milk to start feeding her.

Tess's little hands grabbed the bottle over yours and she drank the milk slowly and peacefully.

Ellie decided that today she wanted to spoil you completely. After last night's altercation, the aurbun-haired wanted you to clear your head and know that you were not alone.

She began to cut pieces of pancakes and poked one with her fork to bring it closer to your mouth. You smiled at her and opened wide so Ellie could start feeding you.

As you chewed, a drop of honey slipped across your lips and ran slowly down your chin. Ellie ran her thumb over the area, looking at you with love eyes.

You knew in that moment that you didn't want to be anywhere else but there. Not because you were surrounded by nature, animals and music. But because you were with the two people who made you the happiest, and you would have them forever.

C: hey guys! Carm here. Just wanted to let you know some things. First of all, english is not my first language so im really sorry if smt is not written correctly. Second, I'm not some Allan Poe haha. I'm just doing this for fun, ~as i think most poeple are~, so please be kind because we are here to have a great time. And third, if you have any ideas or recommendations im always open to hear you guys.

Rememeber to stay hydrated, sleep well ~with Ellie~, watch an episode of your fav tv show, and masturbate to get to know your body.

XOXO

I'm writing character bios for each of my SweetMagia OCs

SweetMagia #3 Licorice

She is 21. She originally was a Bitterling, but Candy Corn helped her realize she was being manipulated. She is now one of the SweetMagia, legendary warriors of sweetness. She's also trans

Her name is Rio Valenzuela. She was kicked out of her house by her parents because she felt she was in the wrong body.

She was originally brainwashed by Charantia, the leader of the Bitterlings, who wanted to use her pain and suffering to become a formidable Bittlerling. However, it turns out Charantia doesn't really care for her and was just using her as a stepping stone for total universal domination, and Charantia was going to force her to work with evil that aligns with bigotry

She's fighting with the SweetMagia now to help other trans and queer folk see liberation and happiness. She also has a crush on Carmela

Hobbies: sculpting, collecting plushies, makeup

Favorite foods: cherry ice cream, cemitas poblanas, pickled okra
