after moving in with my two friends we started up our own aquarium. this is my personal fish, amore. he’s a dalmatian molly that’s also probably golden nugget molly due to the gold flakes on him

The simple pleasure of a bunch of mollies cramming themselves into the corner closest to you in hopes of treats never gets old.

Weeping wailing gnashing my teeth when people say that aquariums smell bad. cause you just know that they're talking about a bowl with three goldfish in it and of course it smells rank that's sewer water. But real, balanced, well stocked, cycled aquariums? Now that's a beautiful smell. It's not a good smell mind, it's pretty neutral and you can only really get it if you have your nose right down next to the water. But that's what life smells like, that's living water.

Went to the Canadian Aquatic Expo today! They had an aquascaping competition. Here's some of the tanks that were set up~

Trying My Baby Corydoras Catfish With Frozen Bloodworm!

My baby corydoras have more than doubled in size since I first got them so I decided to try feeding them some frozen bloodworm.

The adult corydoras in the tank ate most of them but the two babies definatley managed to eat far more bloodworm than I initially thought they would.

As they keep growing it will be easier for them to eat the bloodworm quickly so they will be able to eat more of them without their tank mates wolfing them all down first.

old man is always the first to figure out new food toys (even though ritalin is the one having instant success here)

I sketched out my tank setup idea and finally got around to inking it. I ordered spider wood and hopefully I can make it into a nice Alien From Arrival shape. If I can, it'll be soaking, boiling, and attaching Java moss for me!

I want to change it up for enrichment and also the hunk of wood I have in there now is soooo tannin rich it makes the water too yellow. also the corycats need more sand room on the bottom

Fish art ❤️ 🐟

The computer is a machine built for looking at pictures of fish you wouldn't otherwise see. Anything else you can do with a computer was an accident and unintended

Well I think my LFS is funny

Your day would be better if you saw an Ancient Egyptian faience fish
