I've been a huge fan of brackish species for many years now, had a tank about 15 years ago and would love to do another some day. I do have a question I've always wondered about. Most people ask which freshwater species can tolerate brackish conditions, low to moderate usually. But I've always wondered are there any fish commonly sold as saltwater species that can be acclimated down to a brackish level and actually survive there for extended periods of time? I'm talking about a salinity of around 1.010-1.015. I'd just be curious if it's possible.

There are two answers here - a general and a specific. From a general standpoint, I think many marine fish possibly have more tolerance for hyposalinity than we give credit for. At least one significant, well respected author and aquarist, Lance Ichinotsubo, states he keeps his fish only marine tanks at 1.010 over the long term with great results. I couldn't say myself how effective or ethical this is but I imagine it's an topic that is vastly underexplored.

Specifically, there are a good handful of marine species that can tolerate this range. Of course there are the brackish water staples like Scats, Monos, Tete Sea/Silver Shark Catfish, and any number of flounders/soles, killifish, and livebearers that make their way into full salinity for long stretches of time. But there are also several Puffer species, not to mention Needlefish, a few Stonefish, Lionfish, Zebra and Peacock Bennies, Batfish/Spadefish (Platax spp being well known), Stripies, Barramundis, several Snapper species, Sergeant Majors, and a few Waspfish. And these are only the species that appear in the aquarium trade! I suspect several hundred species can make that transition.

Double and Valentine have finally debuted in Episode 13 of the Skullgirls webtoon

So that ending was good. Double and Valentine finally showing up and helping an injured Marie, and Double looking so scary in the picture. Double is such a manipulative asshole and it looks like some wild stuff is about to go down in Maplecrest. I suspect that's where Filia and Carol will make their debut.

Parasoul continues to just have so much on her shoulders. She's an awesome older sibling for Umbrella and really cares about her but also takes her responsibilities as a princess very seriously and is always doing things herself. As an oldest sibling that has had to juggle looking after my siblings and work stuff I've always found this very relatable. Umbrella is really adorable and I loved the little training session.

Was really hoping we would get to see more of Peacock vs Dahlia but it looks like everyone else is going to be joining in on the brawl with the Black Egrets and Medici's goons. Also was I supposed to read the interaction between the fish people in the Fishbone gang as romantic? Where the puffer fish says they wanted to nab Vice Versa and the open shirt fish said they'd look good in a hat? I know it's pretty much nothing but I can totally see that and some queer male rep would be much appreciated. Not assuming they are male because I don't think their pronouns have been said, but I mean more in general and if they are.

Rare freshwater fish

The Black Ghost Knifefish rounds off our list and is an elegant and cool freshwater fish. Black Ghost Knifefish Scientific Name: Apteronotus albifrons. Large fish may also see them as prey due to their slow speed and tiny size.Ĥ1. It’s better to keep these in a single species tank as they can be aggressive and nip the fins of other fish. You should keep these fish in groups of at least five, with one male for every two females. In fact, studies have shown that keeping Cabomba plants with these fish can help reduce mortality. They include Green Cabomba, Fanwort, and Carolina Fanwort. These are readily available in aquatic stores. The best plants for these fish are of the Cabomba variety. Try to limit the water flow as they are not strong swimmers. You should keep these fish in a smaller, well-planted tank. Sometimes known as the Bumblebee, Malabar, or Indian Dwarf Puffer, this is a small fish that is undeniably striking! Image source: Robert Mollik via Wikimedia Commons is licensed under CC BY-SA 3.0 Kuhli Loach Scientific Name: Pangio kuhlii. You can feed them fish flakes or pellets, along with live or frozen foods such as brine shrimp.ģ5. These loaches are omnivores and will feed on any algae in your tank. Do also keep your water parameters in check as they need very clean water. Their wide fins which look like the skirt of a racing car definitely make them a cool fish!Īs they are bottom dwellers, you should use sand or fine gravel as a substrate. They originate in fast-flowing streams in Asia and have adapted to cope with this. Another name is the Gold Ring Butterfly Loach. They are also sometimes called the Chinese Hillstream or Reticulated Hillstream loach. One of our team used to keep these loaches and I think they are really cool freshwater fish. Peacock Gudgeon Scientific Name: Tateurndina ocellicauda.

Following up on the Lacey Act expansion, I'm not as convinced it will be worse for threatened species. Aren't the number of responsible, species-saving captive-breeding hobbyists dwarfed by average-to-poor keepers who just want a unique pet? The international exotic pet trade is one of the worst contributors to species disappearing from the wild. From what I can see, this would actually benefit wild populations and encourage trade in captive-bred individuals instead.

Thanks for the question! That's a valid point and I'm glad you've brought it up. A few people have shared that sentiment when discussing this with them.

For those reading this, I want to quickly reiterate why the amendment has been introduced: it's meant to prevent any potential injurious species that could harm agriculture or the environment by implementing a whitelist of approved ones. It isn't aimed at protection of non-native organisms, it's a extreme prevention measure. (The Lacey Act itself was created to prevent poaching and illegal harvesting, so piggybacking this onto it is odd. The Presumptive Prohibition should really be its own Act.) This new amendment is likely trying to prevent any more incidents like brown snakeheads in the Potomac or micropopulations of tropical fish in Florida. However, it's perfectly fine and accepted to introduce peacock bass and clown knife fish into open waterways so fishermen can target their populations as they grow.

So, the amendment itself is meant for the safety of the US environment, but conservation is what me and others are truly concerned about here. There are two sides to the declining populations thing. On one side, we have things with stable habitats but large levels of overfishing for the pet trade. Pea puffers are a huge one here. The juveniles have a low survival rate in captivity, they're hard for the average person to feed, keeping more than one in a tank runs the risk of them killing each other (they're often recommended to be kept in groups), and they CAN be captive bred. This is a fish that we can clearly point at, say "this needs more protections and a heavier focus on captive breeding," and put on a list that states this. Same with clown loaches and denison barbs.

The other side is species with rapidly depleting habitats and wild populations. This is where it gets complicated. If an animal's native range is disappearing, the focus should be on creating the most diverse possible gene pool in captive populations. Zookeepers do a fantastic job of this with avians and mammals, but when it comes to the cold-blooded things, hobbyists are the main people driving the car. I have seen exactly one zoo with a certain species of extinct-in-wild snail and about 25 hobbyists. The wildly diverse mini-ecosystem peat bogs of Southeast Asia are being bulldozed for palm oil plantations at an alarming rate, and the rainforests of South America are also being destroyed for the logging industry and agricultural use. SEA is of importance to fishkeepers, and SA to amphibian lovers. The general consensus from conservationists is to get all the healthy specimens from areas in the line of fire while you can. If you don't, they're just going to be swept away, they don't have a chance.

I rarely, rarely ever see people keeping fish that are going extinct in the wild as solo trinket pets, unless they already have stable populations, like some species of wild bettas and asian arowanas. Their habitats are often tricky to replicate, and you'll have a tough time finding specialty fish stores offering them in anything less than breeding pairs or groups. Parasphromenus, wild bettas, obscure cyprinids, peat bog spiny eels, and tiny specialized catfish/loaches are all in those peat bogs mentioned above. Most people are aware of these in some capacity, and know that you shouldn't keep them as a unique pet. Pretty sure other hobbyists would bite your head off for that, honestly.

Then we have things such as Chitala lopis. Ever heard of them? Nope, me neither, until a couple months ago. They've been declared extinct by a few scientists due to overfishing and habitat destruction. However, I met a guy who has one that came into the USA in a shipment of clown knives as bycatch, and he's taking excellent care of it. If he can find another and there's a way to breed them, I'm sure he'll find it out. Hobbyists who respect endangered species are dedicated. The little freaks who find an unappreciated animal to obsess over are the future for that animal. See: those extinct snails.

In a sensible world, there would be a proposed committee that does risk analyses on potentially harmful fish, then bans them, and reevaluates down the line. It's incredibly backwards to ban everything and assume guilty until proven innocent. Same with species that are threatened by poaching. We have the ability to analyze what is actually declining their populations and what we can do about it.

However, the flipside to that is that once things go on the Lacey Act for good reasons, they... might just live on there forever. They're plentiful due to captive breeding, you can buy the juveniles for a $10 USD equivalent, 99% of Asian arowana are bred on farms, and any bred on farms are microchipped. There are very, very few being poached from the wild these days, and those that are are being distributed around Asia to the people who actually are willing to pay the insanely high prices for the wild-caught clout. And yet, they're firmly placed on the no-entry list with no plans for removal. The USA is notoriously bad for banning things and never accepting critique or revisions. I don't see a sweeping ban on everything going well, because a lot of those organisms will fall through the cracks and never be reconsidered.

Tl;dr: I do support stronger protections on species that can be captive-bred and have a great chance of continued survival in the wild. I would love to see this amendment revised in a more sensible manner for the sake of those species! Same with invasive species, please put together a committee to identify them and implement protocol to prevent disasters. But I do not support the current whitelist ban in HR 4521.

Wildlife of the Windswept Plateau

Hey I've decided to make this a series. Next on my list of "researcher documents the Flights native wildlife" we have the Wind Flight! I hope this is at least a good jumping off point for you writers/RPers/Worldbuilders!

Includes little personal notes here and there about possible uses, ecology and real-life equivalents, and interesting notes from the items bio too. Calling this series “Ecology of Sornieth” where I detail: Wildlife.  Aquatic life. Insects. Plant life. ???.

Long post ahead. Cut for convenience.

Wild Life:

Balsas Anole (Able to change color based on mood. probably a popular catch for hatchlings) Plague Bat (Bats native to the Scarred Wasteland. Most likely purged for spreading diseases.) Sun Flecked Fieldmouse (Fur sparkles in the sunlight. can leap great distances and has a tendency to brood.) Zephyr Sparrow (Flies very high but is prone to oxygen deprivation. Tend to be short lived due to this reason. Possibly kept by dragons for it's plumage) Broad-footed Moles (Stubborn. strangely tend to dig in opposite directions from their mates. Possibly dug up as food by hatchlings) Cottontail Rabbit (A decent meal for dragons, probably farmed for meat and fur. hilariously large dragons might use them similarly to cottonballs.) Hooded Hen (Can be ornery maybe? A decent meal for a dragon. Probably farmed for meat and feathers.) Steppes Box Turtle (Known for the pattern on it's shell) Hooded Skunk (despite being a skunk its rather docile. Probably hunted for as wild game for meat and fur) False-Peacock Quail (Pretty plumage. A decent meal for a dragon. Probably hunted as wild game for meat and feathers) Mallard (A decent meal for a dragon. Probably hunted as wild game for meat and feathers. Note: Irl only male Mallards have the signature green hood.) Golden-Laced Rooster (Can reached running speeds of up to 15km an hour. Probably hunted as wild game.) Arroyo Toad (Most dragons have developed an immunity to it's skin toxin. Mirrors however are allergic.) Firebearer (A type of squirrel monkey. Has been observed spreading forest fires by carrying burning branches to new areas. Possibly done to flush out game from underbrush or usher in new growth in remote areas.

When a gorilla tells you to do something, you bloody well do it

Author: LuridLolly

Year: 2010

Rating: PG

Characters: Naboo, Bollo, Jones, Vince, Howard

When a gorilla tells you to do something, you bloody well do it, because you’ve just met a talking gorilla and when reality gets that ridiculous, you shouldn’t fight it. At least, that’s what Jones reasoned when a gorilla approached (see: ambushed) him after a gig and told him that he was going to have to pretend to be someone named Vince for a few days. So Jones let himself be driven to Dalston in a spray-painted van by a laconic gorilla. When they walked up to a flat as bizarrely decorated as the House of Jones and met a tiny man dressed as the shah of Persia, Jones barely registered these things as surprising (though he did fleetingly wonder if someone had slipped pills into his alcopop at the club). It wasn’t until the tiny man and the gorilla were dyeing Jones’ hair black in the kitchen sink that he started to feel a touch of panic. When they put him forced him out of his own shirt and into a pink blouse belted with something both fringed and glittery, the panic turned into irritation. Jones stood in front of the mirror in what he had been told was Vince’s (and thus his) room. “Fuck no.” “Outfit very fashionable, like Vince,” the gorilla grunted. Jones watched in the mirror as the tiny man crossed his arms. “If you don’t pretend to be Vince, I’ll turn you into a puffer fish and leave you on the windowsill to shrivel up like a raisin.” Jones nibbled his thumbnail thoughtfully. “Mm. So wha’do I have to do, exactly?” The tiny man almost smiled. “Sleep in, fuss about your hair, chat up birds, worry about being fashionable, show up to work in the shop downstairs about mid-afternoon. Antagonize Howard for a bit, faff about, then go out to a club and drink too much.” Jones looked at his worried nail a moment before nodding. “And who’s Howard?” “Howard a ballbag,” the gorilla scoffed. “Yeah, a ballbag who’ll be your best mate for the next couple days,” the tiny man clarified. “Brilliant.” “And if Howard finds out you’re not the real Vince, Bollo here’ll rip off your arms,” the tiny man continued, indicating the gorilla, who helpfully mimed ripping out Jones’ arms. “Right. Can I know why?” “Howard’s absolute rubbish with secrets, and no one can know that Vince isn’t in Dalston. He’s in enough trouble as it is.” Jones nodded, because it was the only response he could think to give this vague explanation. “We’re off, then. We should be back in a day or two. Good luck, and remember—don’t fuck this up, or you’re dead. Bollo, get the carpet.” When his captors left the room, Jones climbed onto the mess of pillows that was probably meant to be the bed and curled up for a little sleep. Hopefully he would wake up to find this had all been a freakish dream and he would have a laugh and tell Dan about it. Maybe the story would even make Dan smile. Jones woke with a start when something touched his shoulder. “Vince? Are you awake?” Jones peered suspiciously at the lilac pillow in his immediate line of vision. It didn’t look familiar. Jones turned his head slowly, taking in the Bowie poster on the wall and mobile of bus tickets and bottle caps and peacock feathers that turned above him. “I made you some tea and toast, if you want it.” Apparently the dream wasn’t over. Jones looked over at the man standing next to the bed with a plate of toast and a mug. “Wotcher, Dan—this is my bad dream.” The man with the toast looked confused. “You, ah, had a bad dream?” Jones blinked. The man with the toast looked like Dan, but wasn’t. Dan was scruffy and shrewd; this man had on a cardigan and a trilby. “Terrible dream.” The man sat down on the edge of the bed, balancing the toast on his knee. “The balloon animals again?” “Sure.” “Well, no worries—it’s not real.” The man stood and placed the plate and mug on the bedside table. “Right.” Jones picked up a piece of toast. So, this bloke must be… “Howard?” The man turned back at the door. “Yeah, Vince?” “Thanks for the toast?” “No problem, little man.”

Jones spent some time eating his toast and riffling through Vince’s CDs (lots of electro rubbish and, inexplicably, Kings of Leon). Then he sat in front of the vanity and set up all the little bottles of nail varnish like dancing partners, with a canister of mousse working pomade-jar decks. Jones got tired of setting up a tiny bar on the back of hairbrush at about half two, and decided he would go down to the shop and see just how far he could push his luck in this unlikely adventure; he’d already managed to meet Howard and, seeing as he hadn’t been turned immediately into fish jerky, he hadn’t mucked it up too badly. And Howard looked a bit like Dan, and a familiar face might be a bit comforting. Especially a familiar face attached to someone who made toast. “Alright?” Jones ventured when he stepped into the shop. “Afternoon, Vince. You got in awfully late last night.” “I…got kidnapped by a monkey.” Well, it was true. Howard, who was stood at the counter, looked up from his book. “Are the monkeys trying to steal your face again?” he asked, his voice lacking the derision Jones might have expected. “Uh, sort of.” Jones ducked into the bubble chair next to a rack of shirts that had looked like they had been lifted from the seventies and idly picked up a copy of Cheekbone. The silence that followed was apprehensive, at least on Jones’ part. After pretending to study an article on the rise of the headband over the past ten years, Jones finally said, “So, ah, how has your day been?” “Oh.” Howard sounded a bit surprised. Weren’t these two best mates? “I’m glad you asked. I have, in fact, sold three jazz records this morning. Yes, Vince, I think you’re going to have to come to grips with the fact that people are finally embracing jazz as the true music of the world. They feel its power. They respect it.” Jones glanced at Howard, who was smirking self-importantly. “I see.” “You do?” “Or, ah, no way?” “You’d better believe it, little man; we are standing on the precipice of the Age of Jazz! Chickah chick-aaah.” Jones smiled to himself. This bloke was a loon. A pretty girl in a checked pink minidress came in and smiled at Jones. And in the ensuing conversation, with much giggling from the girl in the minidress having nothing to do with Jones actually being funny, Jones somehow managed to sell her the pop tab iguana statue in the corner. The girl giggled her way out of the shop, iguana clutched to her chest, leaving Jones with sixty Euros and her phone number. Jones handed the money to Howard, dumbfounded. “You’ve made a sale and gotten a number after half an hour of sitting about. Everything’s so easy for you.” “Apparently.” The resignedly bitter way Howard said it reminded Jones so much of Dan that Jones asked, “Do you like tikka masala?” before he really thought about it. Howard fussed with the till. “The tikka masala from the restaurant down the street is awful. We’re better off getting something from the chip shop.” “No, I could make some for dinner.” “You don’t cook.” “I don’t?” Howard closed the till. “Remember when you tried to make a Panini and ended up lighting the bread on fire and getting melted provolone all over one of Naboo’s books? He docked my pay for a month.” “He docked your pay? Never mind. I can cook now. I…read a pamphlet.” “Alright, but if you make a mess, I’m not cleaning it.” “I’ll nip down to the store.” Jones drummed his fingers on the countertop. “If that’s alright.” Howard smiled. “I think I can manage here without you.”

Jones had been looking for a spoon for ten minutes. He’d found a cauldron, and a drawer full of whisks of all sizes, and what appeared to be a fully operational dish-sponge discotheque. He’d managed to locate the plates and bowls, and some cereal (one box of Weetabix and a dozen boxes of something called Sugary Sugar Rings). But he couldn’t find even one bloody spoon. “Need any help?” Howard asked from the doorway. “Do y’have any sodding spoons?” “Oh-ho, Vince, we haven’t any spoons for that sort of thing. Wooden spoons, though, we do have—top drawer by the fridge.” Jones could have sworn he’d checked that drawer already, but when he looked again, a spoon had appeared, lying coyly between the can opener and the vegetable peeler. “Cheers.” The cooking went largely without incident, though the spoon kept trying to sneak off with a dish that was lurking about the perimeter with a tiny knapsack. Jones finally had to lock the dish in with the whisks just so he could get anything done. He brought Howard a bowl of tikka masala and flopped down on the couch with him. “What are we watching?” Jones asked. “The news.” “Do we have to?” Howard chuckled and flipped over to a rerun of Colobos the Crab. “Only because you made dinner, though,” he grumbled good-heartedly. The tikka masala was good and Jones felt better than he had since this adventure started, and he fell asleep quite suddenly, fingers still around his empty bowl. -- Jones woke up eyeing the same lilac pillow that had greeted him the day before. It was a moment before he could remember where (or who) he was. He didn’t recall getting into bed last night, and had to assume that Howard had carried him. That, and the fact that his shoes and blouse had been removed (again, presumably by Howard), made him feel a bit squidgy about the head and he was tempted to go back to sleep to escape the feeling. But his mouth tasted like sorrow and he needed a wee. So Jones got up and prepared himself to face another day as Vince. -- He opted for a slightly less mortifying outfit for his second day “on the job” as it were. Vince owned several hundred brightly-coloured t-shirts, so Jones figured Vince must wear them at least occasionally, and that it would be alright for Jones-as-Vince to wear one, too. Jones tried to fluff his hair as slowly as possible, but he had run out of things to keep him busy by half nine, so he made himself some tea. “Alright?” he asked Howard when he got downstairs. Howard looked at the clock and then at Jones. “What are you doing in so early?” “I woke up early.” Howard waited expectantly. “A woodchuck…came in through my window…and told me I had to…get up early?” Jones had never said anything so stupid in his whole life. But Howard seemed to accept the statement. “Well, good. You’re just in time to help me reorganize the stoppered bottles in the cabinet.” Two hours later, after shifting some 600 bottles about in a glass-front cabinet (bottles that often shifted right back when Jones wasn’t looking, so they had to be moved two or three times, cheeky bastards), Jones decided that if he ever saw a decorative glass bottle again, he’d smash it. Possibly against his own head. Howard closed the cabinet door. “Captain cabinets, trapped in cabinets,” Howard chanted, grinning mischievously at Jones. Jones backed away slowly. “Um?” “Can he get…out…Vince, are you feeling alright?” Jones had backed in the coat stand. “I guess not.” “Come on, it’s time for lunch. I’ll make you a Panini.” “Cheers, Howard.”

Howard frightened away most of the customers that came in during the afternoon with his overeager smile that showed too many teeth and his story about a pencil case, but Jones wasn’t bothered. He helped close up (much to Howard’s surprise), and they went down to the chip shop to pick up dinner. Jones was stretched out on the floor, sucking the salt off his fingers when Howard asked, “Round of cards, Vince?” holding up a deck with cartoon peacocks on the back. “Go Fish?” Howard laughed. “Get ready to lose, little man!” Go Fish was the only card game Jones knew how to play. Dan had once tried to teach him how to play poker; Jones had understood about the pairs and three-of-a-kinds, but got all muddled over houses and straights, and Dan had given up. Jones had wished he were cleverer, so he could make Dan stay and play with him, just make him stay at the kitchen table across from him and have a bit of a laugh. But Howard seemed content to play cards for hours, arsing his way through round after round of Go Fish, mostly losing, crowing and bragging wildly when he won—“I’ve won again! I’m king of fishing! A legend among men!”—and Jones laughed and joked and cheated just a bit to keep things interesting. At half eleven, Howard rubbed his hand over his eyes. “Good times, Vince, good times. Go Fish reminds me of the zoo.” Howard smiled wistfully. “Good times.” Jones shuffled his cards. “Yeah…the zoo.” “Thank you for spending time with me today, Vince. It was nice.” “Of course, Howard—you’re my best mate, right?” Jones reached across the fishpond and touched Howard’s wrist. Howard jerked at the touch but Jones held on tighter. “And I had a nice time today, too.” Jones knew somewhere in the back of his head that he shouldn’t kiss Howard, but he was all muddled from the stress of pretending to be someone he didn’t even know, and by how Howard was like Dan but nicer and sillier and how that made Jones miss grumpy impatient Dan all the more. So of course Jones kissed Howard anyway. Howard’s pulse skittered under Jones’ fingers, and Howard’s lips were unsure against Jones’, but his eyes were screwed up with nervous wanting and his moustache was tickly. Jones wondered if Dan’s scruffy cheeks would tickle like that. Soon there was a bit of needy huffing, and tongues were introduced into the proceedings, and Howard got his hand into Jones’ hair and Jones crawled over the fishpond to get his arms around Howard’s shoulders. “Vince, oh Vince,” Howard said breathlessly when Jones stroked his fingers along Howard’s jaw. And then Jones had to stop. Howard looked a bit lost when Jones pulled away. “Vince?” Fuck. “Howard. I’m…you and…we need to talk. But not right now. Maybe tomorrow.” “You’re just going to mock me and toss me aside again, aren’t you?” Again? Vince and Howard obviously had serious issues. Issues that Jones had just made more serious. “I…no. Just...we’ll talk.” And Jones kissed Howard lightly one more time before standing up and walking out of the room.

Jones wiggled back into his own clothes because he felt trapped and itchy in a stranger’s clothes. Bowie stared at Jones from his poster. “Fuck off, Bowie. I’m not him.” “What about Bowie?” Jones looked over at the window, where his face peered in at him. “Alright.” “Alright.” “Could you open the window?” Jones pushed the window fully open. Except for the god awful outfit—something orange with diamantes (Jones could almost hear Dan pulling out his hair over it)—the man who climbed in the window might have been Jones himself. “Vince?” “Cheers. And who’re you?” “Jones. All the…trouble sorted out, then?” Vince laughed. “For now,” he said, waggling his eyebrows. “Everything go alright here?” Jones thought for a moment before he responded. “Well, Howard gave me something, but it was meant for you.” “Really? Can I have it?” And then Jones really had no choice but to step up to Vince and kiss him on the lips. Jones stepped back. “Oh.” “It went on a bit longer and there was more tongue, but I’ll keep that bit.” “Oh.” Jones nibbled at his thumbnail. “I told him we’d talk about it tomorrow. But by ‘we’ I meant the him ‘n the real Vince. I hope that’s OK.” Vince looked down at the vanity. “I like the hair product club scene you’ve set up,” he smiled. “Vince, Howard’s really…well, he’s rubbish at cards and he only has the one story ‘bout a pencil case, but he makes toast and lets you sleep in and thinks you’re pretty amazing. Even when it’s not really you but some hack who’ s playin’ you.” Vince looked at Jones for a long moment before nodding. “Yeah.” Then Vince smiled. “Yeah.” “Oi, ballbags, let’s get a move on!” the tiny man shouted from outside the window. “Oh, right—you can go home now. Thanks for this, though.” Vince stuck out his hand and Jones shook it. “Cheers.” The tiny man stuck his turbaned head in the window. “Move it along; we’ve only just got enough juice to get you home.” “Good luck with Howard,” Jones called as he climbed out the window and onto the magic carpet floating outside the window (because this story had to end just as ridiculously as it started, Jones reasoned). As he found his balance behind the gorilla and the tiny man, he remembered something, and leaned back in the window. “Also, Howard thinks you can cook now, so he might be expecting you to make up some tikka masala one day.” As the carpet lifted into the night sky, all of Dalston heard Vince’s cry. “WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!?”

I’ve been planning to have several tanks in the future once I move home from college, and that time is finally drawing near.  I have none of the supplies I need to support my ideas yet, but I will get all I need in time.  For now, I just want to share my plans because I’m getting very excited about them.

Before I even get any tanks, I am going to buy a heavy duty 3-shelf shelving unit that is 48x24x48 that can support the weight of the aquariums I want.  

First off, I want a big tank.  Like a 55 or 75 gallon.  I want it to be a tropical planted community with a large piece of driftwood as the hardscape centerpiece.  I have done research on the various fish I want to keep in it, but I’m not going to have all of the following in the tank: 

Angelfish (several)

Apisto Double/Triple Red (pair)

Norman’s Lampeye Killifish (group)

Guppies/Mollies/Platys (group)

Tetras (group)

Ancistrus/Bristlenose Plecos (a few)

Honeycomb Catfish (group)

Otocinclus (group)

Yoyo Loach (group)

Corydoras catfish (group)

Neocaradinia Shrimp.  

I definitely want Angelfish, and from there I compiled the rest of the list above.

Next, I want to keep some species-only tanks made up of three 20 gallon talls.  I have always loved Betta fish, and I have recently discovered the beauty of wild Bettas.  I especially like the species Betta imbellis, Betta smaragdina (guitar and copper), and Betta mahachaiensis.  I’m not sure which species I would like to keep first, but I think I would keep all of them in pairs or trios in tannin-filled biotopes.  

Finally, I think I want to keep an axolotl or two.  They like floor space much more than height in an aquarium, so I’d have a 30 gallon long at minimum if I were to keep two of them.  More than likely I’ll just have one, so I may go with either a 20 gallon long or the 30 gallon long.  For decorations, I’d have sand as the substrate and plants in terracotta pots.  I’d keep this tank at the very bottom of my rack so as to keep it as cool as possible, and if that is not enough I would get a fan to cool the water via evaporation.  

After having said all of that, I would still have space for the two 10 gallons I currently have.  One would definitely be a quarantine tank, while the other I’m not sure what I’d do with.  Two other species that I may want to keep are Pea Puffers and Peacock Gudgeons, so maybe the spare 10 gallon could go to one of them.  However, if I am keeping pairs and trios of fish together that may breed, I may use it as a nursery for the fry.  Time will tell.  

As for equipment I want for my set-up, I need a large/high powered air filter that would be able to push air through at least 8 different sponge filters but is also fairly quiet as all these tanks would be close to where I sleep.  I also need several heaters due to the majority of the fish I have listed above are tropical (except the axolotls).  For lighting, I’m playing with the idea of buying long strips of LED lights and fixing them to the bottom of each shelf.  This would be cheaper than buying individual aquarium lights, but in terms of aesthetics and plants it may be better for me to buy three 48 inch long high quality aquarium lights instead.  Again, time will tell.  I also want to make the lids as seen in the tutorial video by SimplyBetta on YouTube (maybe not her original idea but she’s the first place I saw them) because of how they slide towards the back instead of folding hotdog style like typical Aqueon lids do.

Thanks for reading this super long post, I just wanted to share my ideas so as to maybe stifle my excitement for a bit longer.  Just a few more months of waiting and I can finally put my ideas into action!!

yammering about....fish

tavros  ✔️ ✔️

now that my quota is fulfilled-- other mermaid shit i might do?? i dont want to be too cliche but if i do go for a Usual Fish for a squad member, i’ll spice up the design

vriska: ??? arachnids are part of the arthropod phylum which include horseshoe crabs and giant isopods, i wont do a sea spider tho fuck those guys-- ideas for vriska always elude me but she will get something cool not 2 worry (docile shark species or maybe a ray?)

equius: mmm a nautilus might be cool... horseshoe crabs do have blue blood
