Alright Fishblr...
Is it better to have a more cube-shaped standard 5-gallon aquarium for potential betta, plant, and snail buddies, or to seek the largest possible aquarium size that still fits in the space you have set aside (7.5 gallon) even though it's a little odd in construction and you likely will need to buy a different, less deadly-powerful filter for it?
My dream is to at least start with a nice planted little tank with one betta fish and either some snails or a pair of smaller corydoras to be buddies and cleaners. Maybe later graduating to have like a proper big 30 gallon community tank somewhere more central in the house and not on the empty part of my desk. I've had a betta before (with some embarrassingly bad husbandry during young tweenage years before upgrading slightly and having my Chompy live a good 6 years despite being a shoplifted sickly Walmart fish). Family have had a number of freshwater fish before---from Kissing Gourami to Common Pleco to guppies to Upside-down catfish to Shubunkin Goldfish (sadly, I can't find the larger tanks stored anywhere so I think mom or dad tossed them).
I've done some significant research in what companions are alright for betta fish, what time frame to cycle a small tank, and some into how to introduce plants to a tank and keep them healthy. My question for fishblr is: Does brand matter more than overall volume in tanks? Would a more tried-and-true 5 gallon be better than a more ordinary 7 or 8 gallon option?

Dallas World Aquarium And More Part 1
We are out of Disney World and in Dallas to visit the famous Dallas World Aquarium. Don't be fooled like we were the first time we visited this place. It has more than just fish and we hope that you will enjoy this place just like we do.

The Dallas World Aquarium is a for-profit aquarium and zoo located in the West End Historic District of Dallas, Texas, USA. It aids conservation and education by housing many animals that are threatened or endangered as part of a cooperative breeding program with other zoos around the world. It has been an accredited member of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums since 1997 and is a member of the World Association of Zoos and Aquariums. The aquarium was opened in October 1992 in an old 1924 warehouse that had been gutted and rebuilt on the inside. In 1997, "The Orinoco - Secrets of the River" opened in an adjacent warehouse that had been similarly gutted and transformed, and the alley between the two buildings became the divide between freshwater and saltwater exhibits. In May 2000, it purchased a vacant lot behind the original warehouse for its first new construction, the Mundo Maya exhibit, which opened in August 2004.In 2015 Ben Crair of the New Republic wrote an exposé exposing the darker side of the zoo. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Songbirds! The third place contestant for Bird Poll #3 :-)
I was originally going to post all possible songbirds here, but it was. So many. 3072 possible variants, between four attributes: body size (x2), pattern (x6), body colour (x16), and pattern colour (x16). In the images above, the "black" parts correspond to the "base" colour, and the "white" parts get coloured in with one ov the 16 possible colours.
Songbirds will spawn in Forest biomes! They're way more ambient creatures than my other birds, with their only mechanic being that they will stop singing if there are hostile mobs nearby. When I expand on fishing, they'll be the main way to get worms though >:-)
Unlike tropical fish, you'll be able to breed songbirds together! Doing so will choose at random from both ov the parents for each possible attribute (body size, pattern, body colour, pattern colour). They're a great addition to any aviary though!
this is for my mod Valley of Plenty! all posts r tagged accordingly

Holy GuacaMola BatrayMan!
Tumblr media
We’re excited to welcome an ocean sunfish (Mola mola) to the Open Sea exhibit! Always a fan favorite, this mola comes to us from Monterey Bay. It’s likely less than two years old and weighs about 17kg/37.4 lbs. We’re the only aquarium in North America to exhibit these sensitive animals, thanks to our proximity to their habitat.
These uniquely-shaped fish can be found in tropical and temperate waters around the world. They’re common visitors to Monterey, feasting on the bounty of the bay, including the smacks of jellies that come in with the currents. Along with their colossal cousins, the bump-head sunfish (M. alexandrini), ocean sunfish have earned the title of world’s largest bony fish, topping out at 2,300kg/5,000 pounds!
Tumblr media
Before joining Team Open Sea, new molas must first successfully complete mola boot camp. Our aquarists target-train the ocean sunfish through positive reinforcement, teaching the sunfish to recognize a visual cue and associate that cue with meal time. When the symbol is set in the water the silvery sunfish swim right over to start snacking!
Molas are always temporary guests at the Aquarium. We weigh them regularly, and once a sunfish grows to be around 230kg/500 pounds, or if their behavior changes letting us know they’re ready to go, we release them back to the wild with tags. The tags allow us to find out how large the molas have grown should someone come across them again. We’re never quite sure how long a sunfish will stay with us, but for now, enjoy some magical mola moments in the Open Sea!

Elemental Beasts Bios (Part 3: Neridya the Water Beast 🌊🌊🌊)
Tumblr media
Prev/Next
Finally! She's here! The queen herself! Neridya the Water Dragon!🌊🌊🌊(In case her name is hard to pronounce, this is how you say it. Nair - EE - Da. Neridya!😁)
This one was a HUGE challenge for me. Especially with the water effects. I'm so happy it's finished! Text less version and bio below the cut! - ✒️🐉
Neridya The Water Beast.
Also known as the Dragon of Water, Neridya is ruler of The Lake of Reflection. And she controls all elements of Water.
Neridya is a mighty dragon. They would sometimes call her the lion of the seas because of her fearsome nature. She is capable of conjuring up the most destructive of tidal waves. But despite this, she can be as calm and gentle as the surface of a tropical lagoon. As long as you respect her, she will respect you. Neridya becomes Nya's mentor. What better teacher for a Water Master than a Water Dragon?
The Lake of Reflection is the largest of all the Deep Land's kingdoms. It sits right in the center of the underground world, providing water to all of the surrounding caverns. (The Lake of Reflection also provides the water for the Embarr Caverns hot springs!) The lake is also filled with sealife. Everything from fish, to sea turtles. Gemlike corals, sea anemones, and waving seaweed are everywhere. Seashells line the sandy bottom like jewels. And waterfalls from every direction cascade down into the crystal clear water.

Week in Review | Dec. 24
Tumblr media
Hi! Like the new addition above? I figured after doing these for so long I’d make a graphic (thanks to a trial of Canva Pro I got for myself). I did some maintenance to my masterlist this week too since I have more than just two fics going. Anyways enough about me, let’s get to the fic recs...
Fics I read this week:
Frankie Morales
Cold, Biting and No Need for Mistletoe by @undercoverpena - I adore the way Jo writes Frankie and I felt so spoiled to get to read two Frankie entries this week!
Common Thread by @wildemaven - Relationship Frankie just hits different. I loved all of the little glimpses we got into this relationship.
Javier Peña
Plaid Pajama Morning by @javierpena-inatacvest - I love everything and anything in this universe …a domestic Javi makes me melt.
Good Boy by @ramblers-lets-get-ramblin - This also features Dieter Bravo and is 🔥 Like I literally finished reading this and stared at the wall for who knows how long…
Joel Miller
Symphony by @maggiemayhemnj - This one is moving to the Compulsory Series section next week but had to pull it out and give a big shout-out to my friend for publishing her first fic!! How exciting!
Dieter Bravo
In Reality by @sin-djarin - If you’ve been around here for a while you know that a soft Dieter is just *it* for me. This fic does such a great job of getting inside of his head…I just love him.
O, Christmas Tree by @covetyou - This fic cracked me up and is so menace Dieter, I loved it!
Gift Wrapped by @sp00kymulder - This was so cute and silly and showed off one of the reasons why I love this menace of a man so much. 
Tim Rockford
Underwater by @secretelephanttattoo - This little extra in the Undercover universe (see below in my compulsory series section) was such a delight. Learning about how Tim found Cleo (his pet fish) was so damn endearing and sweet. This doesn't help the Tim brain rot … 😆
Marcus Pike
Make Me Like the Holidays by @undercoverpena I want this Marcus for Christmas, ok? Thank you! 😆
I've Got a Crush on You by @5oh5 - This has so many elements of Marcus that I love…a sweet, thoughtful man who is a little menace. Oh and he'll get you food.
Oberyn Martell
A Baker's Dozen - Four by @avastrasposts - Oberyn visits the bakery and oh boy, was I so into this! There’s just something about Oberyn … and Mel captured it beautifully in this.
Jack Whiskey Daniels
Dessert and Sugar Coated Kisses (both in AO3) by Ladybess (@ladybess-a03) - Some charming Jack in both of these 🫠
Dave York
The Things She Does to Please by @ramblers-lets-get-ramblin Some Dave York smut was very welcomed!
Ezra
A Baker's Dozen - Five by @avastrasposts - I read this yesterday and I’m still thinking about it. The Ezra in this is so layered but there’s still a very endearing and sincere part that comes through. I will be rereading this one.
Current Compulsory Series:
These are the series I am keeping up with at the moment.
Merry Fic-mas (Various) by @ladamedusoif - A great list that I need to work through, but I'm particularly fond of the Mr. Ben entry.
12 Days of XxxMas (Various) by @morallyinept - I’m behind on these but what I have read so far is 🔥
Holiday Prompts (Various) by @trulybetty
Delta Palms Tropical Resort (Frankie) by @linzels-blog 
Destiny & Deliverance (Dieter) by @mysterious-moonstruck-musings 
Paranoid Heat (Javi P) by @goodwithcheese 
Undercover (Tim Rockford) by @secretelephanttattoo 
It’s Never Too Late (Javi P) by @javierpena-inatacvest 
OTHER CHARACTERS
Will Miller
All I Want by @laurfilijames - The holidays aren't always rainbows and butterflies and this showed how it affects Will 
Posts from the week:
Check out these hilarious PPCU-inspired queue tags from @wannab-urs. Expect to start seeing Paddington Queue in a queue near you.
Check out these PPCU IDs and badges @morallyinept made!
A photo from Freaky Tales came out this week, but all I can see is older Joel.
Examples of what the Pedro boys’ Instagram profiles would look like!
I got tagged in a few Pinterest Moodboard things and they were all funny to me - mostly because of the random animals that showed up. Example 1, Example 2, Example 3
Feral corner:
Jose Pedro Balmaceda Pascal is out here with his hair grown out and the curls are CURLIN. This man is seriously a menace - LOOK AT HIM.
Thots about Steve and Javi. Pedro cosplaying as Joel. Speaking of Joel … obligatory Young Joel post coming at you. This Dieter-coded look from Pedro sent me into a tailspin. If you read Working Title, that is how I picture Dieter. Marcus Pike just being the finest-looking MFer in the FBI. Proof that the wardrobe department knew what they were doing with Frankie.
It’s been Charlie Hunnam week apparently for me but I watched this video more times than I care to admit. I can’t mention one Miller without the other…this Benny gifset gave me some thots (particularly the ones of him yelling, wtf is wrong with me).
Things I watched:
I watched Rebel Moon on Netflix. I know this movie didn’t get the best reviews, but I enjoyed it. Was it because Charlie Hunnam looked hot AF? Maaaaybe. 😆
Tumblr media
I'm planning on watching it again with Mr. Rhoorl this week.
Personal Stuff
Tonight we are taking Baby Rhoorl to a holiday light display, which I’m pretty excited about. It’s just going to be the Rhoorl’s this year for Christmas since our families live in other states. We’ll keep it pretty low-key. I, unfortunately, have to work this week - although I will be able to work from home which is nice.  
Fic updates:
The Benny Miller brain rot is REAL y’all. As a result, I put out Are You Going to Be Quiet? this week.
I’m working on a few different things. I’m excited to be participating in the Pickled Peña writing challenge and will post something on Jan. 1. I’m also almost done with part two of Turbulence (a Frankie one-shot that’s now a two-parter). New updates for Delta Landscaping and Working Title are in the works too!
And to Wrap
If you are celebrating this week, I hope you have a great time. I know this can be a tough time of the year for a lot of us, so I’m sending you a Frankie hug and a Javi forehead kiss (consensually of course). As we approach the end of the year expect a sappy post (or two) from me. If you made it all the way to the end, hi, you're the best! 😘

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Let’s spread the self-love ❤
Tumblr media
Thank you for the tag, @andypantsx3! I am both delighted and horrified to have my work regarded in a positive fashion because apparently my emotions are just like reaching blindly into a bag of trail mix; you get what you get.
But as my homeboy Socrates said, 'The unexamined life is not worth living', so it's probably beneficial for me to slow down and do some reflection on my work as a writer and appreciate the journey of growth I've been on.
So, in no particular order, here are 5 stories I've written and why I'm proud of them.
Tumblr media
The Cardinal Rule (Hawks x Gender Neutral Reader)
A story where Hawks learns that while humans might be awed by his flying skills, the bird population is decidedly less impressed. --- "The birds are refusing to work until their demands are met," you explained, trying to subtly slide your body between Hawks and the birds who were quite literally calling for bloodshed. "Which are?" Hawks asked as he lifted the bottle of water to his mouth and took a long sip. "They, ah, want you held accountable for your numerous bird crimes." Hawks abruptly choked, water spurting from the corner of his lips as he attempted to swallow the remaining liquid as he sputtered helplessly. "My what?" He coughed, thumping solidly on his chest with a closed fist.
This one started with a late night passing thought: 'What if birds hated Hawks?' and it spiraled out of control for there. I entered into some sort of fugue state and wrote and edited the entire thing in like, three days (which is very likely a person record for me). But everything just clicked together so easily on this one- my scenes flowed well, my jokes seemed to set themselves up, and I honestly had an absolute blast writing this. This is likely the story I reread the most because I have so much fun coming back to it.
Tumblr media
2) An Itch to Scratch (Creature!Kirishima x AFAB Reader)
Kirishima Eijiro is everything you never thought you'd find when you packed up your car and moved to a dilapidated fishing town.  He was handsome, funny, and kind; the sort of man who took your breath away.   And that might actually be a bit of a problem. --- "Good girl ," Eijiro praised, his hands like a vice on your hips as he pulled away from your mouth with a satisfied grin.  You returned his smile with one of your own; the vibrant joy that had churned in your belly unfurled throughout your body, leaving you feeling breathless and lightheaded.   "Eiji," you gasped, eyes widening in panic as your lungs seemed to seize in your chest.  "I- can't breathe!"
I knew going in that if I was going to write a Mermay story I would want to write one that subverted expectations and common tropes. I removed the story from the typical tropical setting and plopped the Reader down into an dilapidated New England-ish fishing town, and threw in an additional surprise plot twist that I'm incredibly proud of.
I focused a lot on the world building here; on making the town and the people in it feel real and fleshed out. I really wanted to make the Reader feel connected to the situation they were dropped into and feel like I managed to do that successfully and even fell in love with the aging fishing town a bit myself.
Tumblr media
3) Hot Dish (Shigaraki x AFAB Reader)
Down on his luck and scrambling for survival, Shigaraki Tomura was just looking for a place to score a hot meal. Instead, he ended up scoring a hot date. --- "You want gravy?" You asked, waggling the ladle of onion sauce enticingly, some of it sloshing over the edge of the spoon and falling back into the pot with a wet squelch. Tomura glared at the chunky sauce disdainfully before closing his eyes and sighing. "Whatever." "Gravy it is!" You cheer, pouring the sauce over the meat patty before passing it to him. "There you go! A hunk of meat for my favorite hunk." --- A slow, domestic romance between a volunteer at a soup kitchen and the newly destitute leader of a notorious villain organization.
Hot Dish is most popular story by far, which was honestly very surprising for me! I didn't realize how big Shigaraki's fan base was heading in because I wrote this for a server gift exchange and hadn't really read too many LOV centric stories. But I really enjoyed the challenge of trying to craft a soft romance for such a difficult character and think I managed to write a believable scenario where Shigaraki would be receptive to romance.
Tumblr media
4) A Persistent Lack of Follow Through (Shouto x AFAB Reader)
Shouto had learned a lot from his Father; how to take a hit, how to pull himself back up, and how to hold a grudge. But one thing Endeavor could never teach his children was how to be a good partner. Shouto had to learn that particular skill the hard way. --- He had spent long, sleepless nights reflecting on the things you had told him; the reasons you left. Every moment of your acquaintance was turned over repeatedly in his head and examined until one devastating conclusion was reached: "I was a bad boyfriend," Shouto muttered dejectedly, idly picking at the label of the shochu bottle in the middle of the table. --- A story where Shouto loves, loses, and learns.
I'm very much a happy ending sort of person, so it was a real challenge crafting a story around the prompt of 'heartbreak'. Hearts, obviously, needed to get broken; but then I wanted to try and write a believable healing journey would look like for two people in a shattered relationship. It was equal parts satisfying and frustrating building the same relationship up twice, but ultimately I feel like the relationship I depicted is stronger because of that struggle.
It was also my first time writing Todoroki Family shenanigans, which is honestly now one of my all time favorite things to do.
Tumblr media
5) The 3-Cs of 3-A (eventual Bakugou x AFAB Reader)
This one links to Ao3 because I'm still in the process of crossposting it to Tumblr.
Mineta Minoru is a perverted misogynist whose antics should have had him expelled from UA long ago. But he wasn’t. And now it’s your job to fix him. May God have mercy on your soul. --- “Well then, I’ll leave myself in your capable hands,” Mineta purred before popping open the top two buttons on his shirt, sending you a coy look from under his lashes. “Mold me into the perfect hero, Pygmalion!  Make me your Galatea!” he screamed as he ripped open his shirt, buttons flying haphazardly through the air and pinging off the walls and floor.  You throw your arms up to cover your eyes, as though blinded by the pale skin of his belly.   “Why do you always have to make this weird?” you moan forlornly, already bending down to search along the floor for the missing buttons.  
Aaaah, my passion project. This was my first foray into writing MHA fiction and my only continual WIP. I'm constantly editing and working to improve this one because it's so important to me.
I noticed very early on that Mineta is a character that authors tend to ignore or replace entirely, so his character really appealed to me because I hadn't really ever seen it explored very thoroughly before. 3-Cs is, at it's core, a Mineta redemption story where I try to mold him into the character he could have been; but it's also a place where I get to explore a lot of my ideas about what it's like for an average person to live in a Hero-centric society.
My absolute favorite moments as a writer are when people comment on chapter 1 with messages like 'I really hate Mineta, let's see how this goes' and then 10 chapters later are posting comments like 'What have you done? I actually like this grape-flavored weirdo now.' I actually had someone mention last chapter that they now were interested in a Mineta x Reader story, so I'm putting some weird vibes out into the universe and proud of it!

I think a lot of the people that I would tag have likely already been tagged, but just in case here are some no pressure tags! @confused-red-head @grxywxrrxnn @auraxins @pikatsum @lou-struck @stellamancer @namodawrites @sipsteainanxiety

The Dallas World Aquarium is a for-profit aquarium and zoo located in the West End Historic District of Dallas, Texas, USA. It aids conservation and education by housing many animals that are threatened or endangered as part of a cooperative breeding program with other zoos around the world. It has been an accredited member of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums since 1997 and is a member of the World Association of Zoos and Aquariums. The aquarium was opened in October 1992 in an old 1924 warehouse that had been gutted and rebuilt on the inside. In 1997, "The Orinoco - Secrets of the River" opened in an adjacent warehouse that had been similarly gutted and transformed, and the alley between the two buildings became the divide between freshwater and saltwater exhibits. In May 2000, it purchased a vacant lot behind the original warehouse for its first new construction, the Mundo Maya exhibit, which opened in August 2004.In 2015 Ben Crair of the New Republic wrote an exposé exposing the darker side of the zoo. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
