[infodumpingaboutnature]

I’m currently visiting my bf in Florida for two weeks while we’re both on winter break and he’s just as crazy about animals as I am so here’s all of his pets.

1. The fish tanks

He has two fish tanks: a larger personal tank that he keeps at home and contains neon tetras, panda corydoras (that I couldn’t find because they like to hide in the plants), cherry shrimp, and ghost shrimp. Then there’s his smaller tank that he usually keeps at his dorm which also has some shrimp, some limpets, and bladder snails, but also has some rummy-nosed tetras and three African dwarf frogs named Fufu, Fumbwa, and Frank Sinatra. However, since that tank doesn’t have a lid and he didn’t want the cats messing with the fish and frogs he moved them to his larger tank over for over break.

2. Ganüsh the White’s tree frog

He usually likes to hide so it’s hard to get pics of him.

3. Bocaj the Chahoua gecko

His name is literally my name backwards because when he was a baby he hated me and would always bite me and no one else but now we’re friends and he lets me hold him sometimes.

4. Keshet the Brazilian rainbow boa

She’s absolutely stunning and I wish I could get a full body shot but this was taken right before she was fed and now that she’s eaten I don’t want to disturb her while she’s digesting. She’s still a baby but she’s grown a lot since he first got her. She also has a hidden Mickey on her but I don’t think you can see it in this pic.

Those are all of his pets though his parents also have two dogs and two cats. The cats are named Winter and Priscilla and I love them despite being allergic to them. The dogs are both white golden retrievers named Willow and Aspen. Willow is a gremlin and she scratched my foot but Aspen is a nice old man so we’re chill.

One of my honey gourami letting me know it's time for a second breakfast...

SOME INFO ABOUT HONEY GOURAMI

These little golden gems are some of the more easy-going members of the gourami family.

Unlike some of their more temperamental cousins like the dwarf gourami, honey gourami are far from aggressive and may even hide from larger fish in their tank.

They work well in most standard community tank setups with tetras, rasboras, corydoras, and other peaceful fish.

Just be sure to provide hiding spots with plants, rocks, or driftwood as they can become stressed in open tanks. 🐟🌱

Got some new fishies~

Some new oto friends for my 40 gallon

Also...

Some more emperor tetras~

They were originally going to go in my 40 gallon long, but they came in super tiny.

You can see how small they are next to the endler babies. They're pretty much babies themselves! There's no way I could put them in with my angelfish at this size, he'd eat them. So looks like I'll have to grow them out in here.

Also I got some Amano shrimp for the 40 gallon, but they've disappeared since I put them in, so no footage of them unfortunately.

I'll probably wait another month or so before adding some other fish in here, but I want some sort of pseudomugil rainbow or threadfin rainbows. Also getting the dwarf neon rainbow is tempting. For bottom dwelling fish I'm thinking panda corydoras. Or one of the smaller nano corys. We'll see~

[kaijubrains]

In a sour mood today, so I've treated myself to a pair if african golden dwarf frogs. They're so tiny compared to my corydoras, but everyone is getting on really well, chilling under the driftwood together:

Bonus bloodworm madness:

Anyway, I need to name these beasts

[1spooky-dad]

Today, i was invited to my teacher friend's fourth grade class to bring in fish for their aquarium. I had set it up before school started, and it's been cycling for a good 3-4 weeks.

The kids have been so anxious about when they would be getting fish for it. Every morning, they'd rush to see if there were fish in it yet. My friend had told them that there would be fish in it by the end of September, so you can imagine their fury when they walked in this morning - the last day of September - and there were still no fish.

We'd planned for this, of course. Betrayed as they were, they didn't see me sneak by the cafeteria when they went to lunch, fish in hand. While they ate and went to recess, i did a quick water change and acclimated 3 mollies, 15 danios, and 5 Corydoras. It's a 20 gallon tank, so they've got lots of room, and i planted it out with lots of anubias, java Fern, and dwarf hair grass. They've got a lot to explore.

With 5 minutes to spare, i stuffed myself under my friends desk and text her to let her know everything is ready. Moments later i hear her outside the class, using the pinnacle of teacher-voices, "ok fourth grade! Let's calmly and quietly go back to the classroom, and get ready for the next lesson!"

The shuffling and loud whispering of 9-10 year olds follows. I can't see them, but i listen as they return to seats and rummage through backpacks until-

"THERES FISHIES IN THE TANK!!!!!"

And with that single child's yell, the class erupted into utter chaos. Children cheering, yelling, and scrambling to the back of the classroom to see for themselves. My friend acts just as shocked as them for effect.

"we must've been visited by the fish fairy!"

Some kids scoffed at that, up until i sprang out from under the desk and yelled "I AM THE FISH FAIRY!"

To which they screamed at, because a stranger just appeared out of nowhere and yelled at them. Pandemonium. Truly.

The following 2 hours, i gave them a talk about fish care and ecosystems, and all sorts of science things, and apparently it was kind of the most well behaved my friend had ever seen them. She was genuinely surprised to see so many of them actually raising their hands before speaking, and that there were barely any side conversations. Now that i think about it, i am too. Cause that's. That's 2 fucking hours of kids sitting still and listening and asking questions. With minimal interruptions.

I mean, given, my autistic ass is So Happy to talk about my hyperfocus in animal care, that i absolutely did not limit myself to talking about fish, like i was supposed to. And kids, of course are terrible at keeping on track. So perhaps it was my willingness to jump from marine life to snakes to birds to spider and back to fish, and snakes again, and oh that reminds me did you guys know this about frogs? But I'm shocked i had most of those kid's full attention.

I let them fiddle with things as i talked, cause i fiddled with things. Half the time i didn't notice if they raised their hand or not (though often my friend would stop them and make them raise their hand before continuing. Then both me and the kid would give her a funny look. I'm sorry friend, i was in Talking About special interest mode.) As soon as they learned i was THE person who cared for all the animals at Petco, they jumped at every chance to get me to talk about every other animal under the sun, and we're So Enthralled that i had an answer for nearly every "what's your favorite (thing)" question that they asked. I could have stood there answering all those questions all day, had my friend not cut us off to get us back to talking about the class tank when a kid asked me what my favorite planet was. (I told them i didn't have a favorite planet, but that the moon Eris was my favorite space object. That's how far i got into that subject before my friend cut me off, because she knows that Deep Space Objects is ANOTHER hyper specific interest of mine, and if they got me talking about black holes, we'd never come back)

This is all to say, god i fucking love working with kids. Ive really missed it. I'd never want to be an actual teacher, but I'm so good at being that weird adult who shows up in a kids life and teaches them the wildest things. The outdoor educator is so strong in me, and it really shows in which kids were my favorite. My friend loves the kids who are quiet and don't interrupt, whereas my favorites were the ones who wouldn't shut up, even if i constantly had to tell them not to interrupt me. I'm just so enthralled with seeing the passion and excitement to learn!! The quiet kids, while i didn't have to tell them to be quiet, they never asked me anything (except one timid girl who i could barely hear, bless her heart) i wanna yoink those loud chatty kids and set them off into the wild and show them bugs under rocks and dig a hole with them. I wanna teach them, but not in some stuffy classroom where they gotta sit still. These kids would flourish in an outdoor classroom where you learn hands on.

God this is such a long post but today was so fun and makes me wanna be some sort of sub or guest speaker so much more.

i feel like people who just point people to aqadvisor without any other pointers don't realize it's a useful baseline but it doesn't take into account any live plants you have among other things, just the fish species and quantity compared to your filter and tank size. it told me my stocking was at like 90% and needed 33% water changes every week. that's a bit excessive for my tank. i have a 20gal with maybe about 10 platies of various life stages, four dwarf gourami, an adf, and 5 albino bronze corydoras and a really good fluval filter that covers more than the amount of waste my fish produce AND my tank is full to the brim of live plants and i only do about a 25% or less water change each week to keep it stable. doing a third of the water every week would throw my parameters off a ton. like again it's a good baseline but do not rely on it for exact numbers if you have a properly planted tank.

i think it's integral that you all see how stupid our new children look
