My piece I’ve made over a year ago won first! So did my traditional doll I spent like 2 months on (it got third) which isn’t bad the two other dolls were flipping crazy! But I’m glad I got this story drawn out as well as placing for it! Two years in a row!
It is believed that this fish's name comes from a misspelling of the Hawaiian island O'ahu, as old maps often called it "Wahoo" and this fish is abundant near it. Wahoo hunt in the open water, having a diet of mostly pelagic fishes and squid.
do you have any good recommendations on where to get high quality aquatic animal plushies? specifically realistic ones/very big ones. I have a whale shark from the georgia aquarium and she's my favorite plush ever but i would love to find some other animals that are similar (especially manta rays)
thank you in advance!
I'm actually a bit lacking in aquatic creatures myself! Aquariums would be the main place I can think of. Any followers got specific recommendations?
If you're up for handmade plushies though, I will totally recommend Palaeoplushies! She's got an amazing range of realistic fish species, and some shrimps too (and prehistoric marine reptiles, of course). Look at my eel!
Tautog: Slow reproduction and growth make tautog more vulnerable to overfishing. The species is managed by focusing on reducing fishing mortality rates, as well as restrictions on gear, size limits, possession limits, and limited fishing seasons. At present, the Blue Ocean Institute recommends that consumers avoid eating this fish because the populations are at low levels that are not considered sustainable.
PSA: Bettas are very intelligent fish. They all have different personalities, likes and dislikes. What works with one, might not work for another.
In this case, Piccolo doesn't give a fuck about guppies. In the beginning I put him in this tank temporarily, because he was wrongly delivered to me. I left him in there after seeing he doesn't mind the guppies and he's been there for a year now. Even if he didn't, I have many tanks, I could have put him in another.
That being said, if you only have one tank, do not keep guppies and Bettas together. Most Bettas do NOT like guppies. It's often unhealthy for the guppies (torn fins) and stress for the betta.
