Recently got a second large anubia for my panda garras because they really liked the first and would sometimes fight for the best perch. Now they ignore the first one and compete for the new plant.
I recently noticed how male celestial pearl danios all have a unique pattern on their anal fin. Now I have a good way to identify them. Unfortunately the females are all pretty similar
Horseflies and deer flies are an underrated beauty as I see it. Just another animal that needs to eat. The bite does suck though as I've been bitten by both
Northern sunfish, greengill?, pumpkinseed, warmouth, pumpkinseed, pumpkin gill, green sunfish, pumpkinseed
Ambush bug
I have 1 nirite and 2 ramshorns and found these white dots on some wood
Mystery snail whom I lovingly call white fatman quickly appeared on the scene when I dropped a pellet in for the garras and danios
A couple of my black stripe topminnows have some white bumps in their face area. Any ideas what they are and how I can help them. They are behaving normally and eating eagerly but the bumps are concerning
Probably my favorite snakes to hold. Never try to bite, cup them in your hands and every time they curl into a ball
I got a bucket of the local bait shops creek mix for some evening fishing. There was a mix of northern and southern red belly dace, one red side dace, and a pair of black nose along with a baby white sucker that I decided to try keeping. Unfortunately I learned to late that redside dace jump and I ended up losing him but the red belly dace seem comfortable and are eating omega one freshwater flakes and blood worms. The black nose I haven't witnessed eating but then again they go and hide when I approach. I intend to get a better filter than this sponge/stone combo but I will gladly take any advice
