Another fun thing I do with customers - specifically parents of very small children who don’t know they’re alive yet - is directly imply I think the coffee is for the baby, not the parent. and lemme tell you, like 70% of parents eat that shit up. They immediately go along with the bit and start discussing it with their newborn child, while the baby just stares at us like 😮

#I would eat that up like I was starving to death

Arcturus, α Boötis // Ivan Kuznetcov

The name Arcturus comes from the Greek word Arktouros, meaning "guardian of the bear," an origin its constellation, Boötes, also shares.

Catching fish out of a 20 gallon tank for a catastrophic water change was hard.

But. I caught all 10 fish out and back in. I caught the adult shrimp and at least one baby, out and back in.

Even Azure, the Betta, seems to be happier with the mass change.

More macros, you can see her egg pouch in the first couple ones! Isopods carry their babies in a pouch until they're ready to leave. See how many babies you can count! (Hint: the newest ones are pure white and look an awful lot like springtails, look for a uniform oval shape!)

a couple pictures of the blue velvet shrimp i got today 💙 they're soo much tinier than i thought they were gonna be. they're incredibly fast too though, and there's tons of plant cover in the water, so hopefully they can manage to not get eaten by the crabs 🥲

@wastedpotentialsblog submitted: Just wanted to share a momma I found with a bonus Isopod. Her being completely still while her children crawled all over her eyes and face had big "tired mom" energy

I love this mother and her 100 babies and her woodlouse friend. Luckily for her they look big enough to be moving out soon!
