So, I was cleaning out peafowl eggs for art/painting and I accidentally cracked the bottom of one irreparably. I sometimes will clean and dry some shell to put into the shrimp/snail tank (the snails need calcium to make their shells strong), so I figured heck. I cracked the bottom a little wider so I could clean the whole inside, and put it in there for them. Enrichment!

Well, Wolfe, my longfin bristlenose pleco, has decided it's For Her*, which comes with the hilarious side effect of making this eggshell look like it's hatching into some small eldritch horror, an effect not lessened by the fact that when she moves, her tail twitches and the shell wobbles, OR by the fact that she lives in my Eldritch Horrors tank.

She is such a delight.

((*before you worry, yes she can get out, I have watched her wiggle in and out a few times now, she just likes it in there. Plecos are made for getting into tiny spaces and backing out again, including in rough/sharp environments))

My blue dreams came in and as I was recording clips to make a fun “announcement/fan cam” video I noticed fuCKING SCUTARIELLA JAPONICA (the little white thing hanging off its face)

so FUCK YOU -immerses you in a cup of salt water for 30-60 seconds, thus killing the parasite via osmosis and leaving the shrimp unharmed-

Now comes the fun part of pulling out all the molts for the next month, because although the salt kills the adult parasites, the eggs (which are laid inside the exoskeleton) are protected from it. At least it's a relatively easy parasite to remove, compared to, like... ich. And it's not all that dangerous to begin with either, I just don't want to give it a chance to become an infestation.

Some Pics of my current two Bettas.

Piccolo

And Joanne

I just love the look of her silver scales. She was the only one I kept from my breeding project last year.

She doesn't like keeping still for pictures though.

Piccolo doesn't like keeping still either.

I’ve just now realized that I haven’t posted a single thing about my little container pond on here.

It’s just plants, right now. I have a mass of pennywort, a water hyacinth, some creeping jenny, and a dwarf papyrus. I finally ordered a solar pump off Amazon, today (there’s no outlet close enough for a regular one). I think about the only fish I’d consider for it is rosy red minnows, as it’s only 20 gallons and no other fish seems to fit our temp range, but I want to see how the pump works, first.

There are 87 live baby snails, 4 empty shells (cannibalized most likely), and 3 slug (infertile or bad) eggs. Two of the slugs were definitely gone bad, the last was still big and white, so I left it in a container with another snail in case it just needed some extra time.

My whole day so far has been spent modding containers and crafting moss cover out of what I cleaned. It covered about half the containers, which means I'll be cleaning more tomorrow morning for the rest, which is fine because the rest of the food dishes arrive then. The snails are all one to a container, so no one eats anyone else while they still can. I'll be grinding up feed for them the rest of tonight that has enough protein to make up for sibling cannibalism, to go with the greens and veggies and oyster shell.

A photo of a chili rasbora swimming through aquatic plants staring head-on at the camera, and a photo of an image of the blushing emoji with a fish eye lense applied, looking much like the fish in the first photo. ]

My new fish tank!

Well, technically not new. I set up the hardscape months ago at an aquascaping event at The Aquarium Care Center, which was a ton of fun.

...Then realized that maybe I needed to work on making my new place liveable and getting a couch before I set up another tank 😂

But it's finally running now! I've tried to seed it with bacteria from my other 2 tanks (That's the right term, right?) but I'm still going to wait for the levels to balance out before I get my first non-betta fish! 🥳

#my tanks #Fishblr #Aquascaping #planted tank #I love the hardscape...sadly it does block the filter's flow a bit 😭 #So may have to swap the side its on #Other side does get some movement when i pump up the filter output #So maybe ill periodically adjust the filter whenever the noise wont make me need to pee #Maybe i should invest in a filter baffle lol
