#fish jumping

Close encounters!

My beautiful koi betta Bisby has had a jumping spider neighbor taking advantage of her tank light to hunt bugs under for some time, and recently they met face to face! Very happy to capture each of them acknowledging the other - and Bisby's quick look back at me as if to say "you're seeing this too right?!" 🧡

Edit ✨️ For all those concerned, yes, she does have a lid! I'd just cleaned and was hanging out right there where I filmed from at my office desk. If you are new to fish keeping, please invest in a good lid or when picking setups, favor tank kits that include one!

- My Son

- old sport

- sport

- little guy

- sir

- child of divorce

My study partner and I got to weigh our rainbow trout, and wow have they grown! They came to us weighing an average of 10 grams, and only in a month’s time even the smallest fish have doubled in weight! There were some very hefty guys too, from a randomly selected group of fish the biggest weighed 81 grams, a massive amount of growth considering how small they were before! We’re aiming for an average weight of 100-150 grams, so we’re well on our way there.

To weigh the fish, we put them under anaesthesia so they wouldn’t be too stressed about the situation or thrash around in the weighing bucket. Here’s a picture I took of some rainbow trouts still coming to from said anaesthesia, absolutely zonked:

You can see some drastic size differences between different rainbow trout individuals. Not to worry, every fish recovered and was swimming normally with their buddies after a few minutes!

thinking about getting sick during dissections, and cleaning fish with my dad when i was little, and animals going extinct

I saw a post and had to draw it

Btw, Wild is doing the ASL for “why” I probably didn’t get it perfect cause I don’t know much asl but I tried.

i can not imagine being proud of a set up like this. and yet it is Depressingly common. You have three Incredibly expensive fish that also happen to be extraordinarily aggressive in a tank that's on the small side for one of them. with an additional aggressive predator that's half the size of them and so likely to get mauled. and at least one ray that will outgrow that tank quickly.

and then on top of it all you have no substrate layer, and thus no where for the microbiome to set up and keep the tank stable following water changes, no enrichment, no line of sight breaks nowhere for any one of your incredibly aggressive fish to hide from eachother.

This is a tank that only looks stable because all the fish inside it are too stressed to risk attacking each other. but the Moment one of them starts showing weakness from the cortisol poisoning happening here the others will turn on them and the tank will collapse.

these are animals. They're not just decorations. If you want that aesthetic ™ just spend the money this nightmare cost you on a resin mount.

hey do you guys think that grian has gone a bit too f-aha-r with fishing this season? i mean it's become a problem by now, it's pretty bad, boys. it seems like he's really raised the b-aha-r with commitment to a bit, which i gotta admit is pretty rad boys

no cgi in she-hulk charlie cox can just do that

[forcedhesitation]

cute wyll & astarion dialogue that can trigger when you explore the cliffs around wyrm's rock fortress. wyll would fish when he was younger! I would imagine he continued to do so, while travelling the sword coast as the blade of frontiers :)

Got my first shrimp goby pair last week and this is my impression of them so far.
