hello, can you please genome this:
"Based"? Are you fucking kidding me? I spent a decent portion of my life writing all of that and your response to me is "Based"? Are you so mentally handicapped that the only word you can comprehend is "Based" - or are you just some fucking asshole who thinks that with such a short response, he can make a statement about how meaningless what was written was? Well, I'll have you know that what I wrote was NOT meaningless, in fact, I even had my written work proof-read by several professors of literature. Don't believe me? I doubt you would, and your response to this will probably be "Based" once again. Do I give a fuck? No, does it look like I give even the slightest fuck about five fucking letters? I bet you took the time to type those five letters too, I bet you sat there and chuckled to yourself for 20 hearty seconds before pressing "send". You're so fucking pathetic. I'm honestly considering directing you to a psychiatrist, but I'm simply far too nice to do something like that. You, however, will go out of your way to make a fool out of someone by responding to a well-thought-out, intelligent, or humorous statement that probably took longer to write than you can last in bed with a chimpanzee. What do I have to say to you? Absolutely nothing. I couldn't be bothered to respond to such a worthless attempt at a response. Do you want "Based" on your gravestone?

Fish fact #746
Zebrafish!
Tumblr media
Zebrafish have been shown to have episodic memory, that is, memories of lived experiences! Zebrafish were presented with different objects, placed in certain places in their aquarium, while the walls were either blue or yellow. When presented again with a familiar object in a similar context (same wall colour) but placed in a new location, they spend more time around that location. This shows that they remember things they’ve seen, where they’ve seen them, and in which context!

Size in Sight
Two novel distinct types of amacrine cells – neurons that connect from the eye's light-sensitive retina to the brain – identified in zebrafish that respond differently to different sized moving objects

Researchers in the lab of UO biology professor Dan Grimes have identified two tiny proteins that help keep the spine straight during key periods in development. Zebrafish with mutations in these proteins end up with curved spines, mimicking what's seen in people with scoliosis.
The team reported their findings Dec. 1 in the journal eLife. Grimes' lab is part of the Department of Biology in the UO's College of Arts and Sciences.
Idiopathic scoliosis, the kind that isn't the result of an underlying condition like muscular dystrophy or cerebral palsy, typically shows up in teens, often during a big growth spurt. But there's still a lot that researchers don't understand about scoliosis.

Tough fishy decisions ahead. I'm down to two transgenic zebrafish, Pinky andThe Brain. Not ideal for a schooling fish, but I don't want to keep zebrafish anymore so buying more friends for them isn't an option. Pinky is at least half blind, if not completely blind. And The Brain has, I'm assuming, tumors in his abdomen. Every day I expect to see him floating. It's causing a curvature of the spine and I'm not convinced his right pectoral fin is functional anymore.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
These boys are old, 3 or 4 years old (maybe 5, but probably not) Pinky still appears to be healthy, despite his blindness. I feel like it's time to let The Brain go, but then I'm left with a lone schooling fish. I feel bad considering euthanizing Pinky but what kind of QOL will a schooling fish with no tank mates have?

In a study, zebrafish fathers who were exposed to low oxygen levels in water, were found to pass information on to their young to help them cope in such conditions.
Zoology researcher and study senior author Dr Sheri Johnson said hypoxia was a major challenge for aquatic species because of the rise of dead zones — areas where oxygen was so low, life could not survive.
"With ongoing climate change, which can increase the risk of hypoxia in aquatic environments, it is now more important than ever to understand how different aquatic species respond to environmental hypoxia."

Finally finished this after leaving it unfinished in my folders for too long. 
More Ocean AU with OC’s, the astrosiren version of Sunflower, just out for a swim. Being covered in venomous stingers and about 35f long, is good thing this one is a vegetarian unlike most others of his kind. 
Do enjoy!

In this valentines day I am actually going to confess my HATRED towards dolphins
I don't know if it's because of the ridiculous amount of cursed facts I have been told, the fact that they can be evil, just unsubstantiated hatred or the fact that I almost got bit by one when I was in 4th grade during a very shady school trip to a zoo.
I just hate them man, they're pure nightmare fuel, in dreams they have bitten my head off, their skin looks so akin to human skin yet so much like plastic, their eyes have no souls in them but the ones they've consumed.
And while yes, they're animals, they're also incredibly smart which only means when they force themselves upon whatever other dolphin, animal or even human has the disgrace to, they know what they're doing.
They have been a main cause of shark attacks, and just as if not more likely to attack than sharks.
Tumblr media
This is the face of a species of animals that can and will kill for FUN.
I Hate these glorified aquatic mammal fucks.
But GOD they're fascinating.
And did not deserve whatever the CIA was on when they tried to get dolphins to speak English what the fuck even happened there.

Zebrafish!
Tumblr media
They’re one of the most common animals used in laboratories for research! This is due to many reasons, like their fast maturing rate and embryonic development time, their well-known behaviour and development, and their genome that has been fully sequenced!

Two weeks ago, I had the opportunity to rescue nine zebrafish (danio rerio). They were used in behaviour experiments in a biology lab, and were retired. They were put in a tank with obstacles, and researchers were studying how the obstacles impacted their behaviour as a group (zebrafish is a schooling fish). Retirement for them meaning either being adopted, or put down.
So.. I had no choice but to bring them home :D !
I did not have the time to properly cycle the tank, unfortunately (I had no idea I was going to have fish anytime soon !) but I did my best to provide them a comfortable tank.
I found a 71L tank, an air pump, soil and plants, and more recently, I added wood, a kind of aquatic moss and some aquatic grass.
I feed them fish pellets (given by the biology lab), and also live mosquito larvae. I also got frozen artemia, for when I run out of mosquito larvae.
Last Sunday, I went home at 2AM and caught them sleeping :3
They were so cute, floating gently without moving much. And then suddenly they started moving at their usual speed ! I had woken them up ':3
At first they were all stressed out, they had never seen an air pump, nor probably plants either, but in a day or two they were playing with the air bubbles : swimming into the bubble stream, letting it bring them all the way up to the surface, then swimming back down and repeat. I love them so much !
First image is the tank they were in when i got them. I moved them to the much larger tank you see in the following pictures. The last two pictures show their current tank. I can't wait for the plants to grow !! Sorry for the white reflection blocking the view on these, I had put a plate by the tank for when I was adding the plants.
I'm also using the tank to propagate a monstera stem I found in a train station a while ago ^^ It's the bunch of roots on the right of the third picture.
They change colours between pale brown (when they are stressed) and light grey with dark blueish stripes (when they are not stressed). I'm seeing one of them light brown at all times, but I don't know whether it's always the same one or not... I hope it's a different one each time 😢
They are starting to learn that big scary thing hovering above the surface means food is falling from the sky <3

It's been a while since I've posted fishtank Friday, so here's some fresh photos of Zym for your viewing pleasure

Mr frowny face. He looks so grumpy, I love it!
Tumblr media
I have noticed some cloudiness over his left eye. I'm a little concerned about his vision, but at least I have some experience with blind fish.
Tumblr media
Speaking of, Pinky is doing really well! He seems to have regained some vision in his right eye, but I doubt he sees anything at all on the left side.
