Super Red Bristlenose

My beautiful little baby Taiya in her new home!

She’s a little weirdo and stuffs her face in the bubbler while she’s trying to latch onto it. She seems to be pretty young still because of her little transparent tummy. I’m hoping as she ages and adapts to her surrounding, she’ll be less stressed and her colour will fill out a bit more.

This community is terrible

I'm a new fish owner. Brand new to the hobby. I posted recently looking for advice on a fish that was given to me. The amount of hate and just overall rudeness by this community is absolutely ridiculous. This community alone is making me reconsider this hobby.

Seriously, do better.

Swam with feral plecos in Florida springs

18 inches is an underestimate of their natural size. It made me realize almost every common pleco you’ve ever seen in an aquarium is stunted and malnourished to some degree. These things have heads the size of my hand and are the length and girth of my lower leg. Their poops are the circumference of pencils at that size and almost no home aquarium can sustain that kind of bio load.

My Sweet Shlurp

Every morning I wake up, I'm always about 2 feet away from my little Shlurp. He's there as soon as I'm up, always right by the glass watching. Today I woke up with an awful cold, but seeing him there and his little excited interaction through the glass when I say goodmorning makes it easier to rest through. 🥲 Good boy, Shlurp. He is the cutest little guy. ❤️

No news. No advice needed. Just a girl and her girl dinner hanging out for an evening.
