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!

Soooo, i got a pet leech.

His (their? Its?) Name is Larry. I got him from a swamp in Tacoma.

He seems like a *Placobdella* leech, usually feeding on snails and frogs. But i got him to feed on me.

Here he is all stretched out, lounging.

The thing is, there are so few resources about how to care for leeches, especially of this variety. Does anyone know? Any fellow leech lovers on tumblr have any idea about what they need to be happy?

For anyone interested in my crayfish: Scissoring molted on Friday and now has absolutely massive pinchers

Look at how chunky!! and colorful!! For comparison, here’s how his claws looked before the molt (left) vs today (right)

#I literally went ‘Dude you’re HUGE’ out loud when i saw him post molt #they grow up so fast :’) #crayfish #pet crayfish #fishblr #shrimpblr #i also have shrimp i swear i’m not just mooching off the tag #aquarium #aquarist #scissoring and christ

Wesson is an absolute treasure. He makes the hardest days as an aquarist worth my while.

The Art of the Planted Aquarium 2023 / Live Aquascaping Contest

Two weeks ago I was at a German live aquascaping contest and set up this aquarium.

It is a Dennerle Nano Tank with 35l. It was a lot of fun to set it up.

The aquarium has reached the 4th place at the nano category.

Here you can see a small process of the set up.

I'm never buying aqueon filters again this is the second one I've bought and it only lasted about 2 months. I'm going to try a marineland filter which is a little more expensive but I've heard good things about it. Mr Pinchy is one expensive old man.

I’m obsessed with this fish! He’s so pretty and colourful. I read a lot about bettas. Did you know they are in the gourami family? And that they are some of the only fish to show parental care until they are free swimming.
