I miss my mollies dearly, but after 6 weeks of no fish, I've finally added some new friends to the tank: otocinclus catfish! I fell in love with these little guys the moment I saw a photo of them online. They will surely help with the insane algae problem that has developed in the mollies' absence. No names yet, but I am thinking of naming them after vaccum brands given their status as "cleaners." We'll say the two in this video are Bissell and Dyson. :3

Inkblot appreciation. She is currently the lone survivor of the Molly tank. I'm worried she may be lonely so it might be time for some new tank mates.

My beloved Snowcap suddenly passed away today. She was having issues swimming and by the time I medicated her, it was already too late. I will love you forever, my sweet little angel. 😢 Your sisters will miss you too!

They are waiting anxiously to see if I'm standing by the tank to either feed them or annoy them (it was to annoy them via taking pictures).

Peppercorn's colors have really developed. I love her black tail!

Long time no tank update. I'm very satisfied with the new woodscape. 🪵

These pictures are a bit old so please disregard the dead anubias; it has since been replaced with healthy, thriving anubias!

Fishkeeping is hard.. not because water perimeters is too hard or keeping plants alive or any of that. But because I only ever learn about a common problem a fish has when I'm googling symptoms.

I've been dreaming about a dwarf gourami for 3 years and just now I find out that 70% of them in the market die from a virus they are susceptible to?

It's so hard to imagine little fishes as a cog in the capitalistic machine that doesn't care about the health of those fish when they are just little guys. They are just so little..

Where do the fish people of tumblr get your information from?

[fishcommunity]

Its semi-defunct now since the owner died a few months back, but the majority of the information I have on fishkeeping started with Wetwebmedia. The owner, Bob Fenner, was involved in all areas of the aquarium trade for his entire life and wrote articles on just about any fish you are likely or unlikely to find in the trade. He and his crew answered questions from readers every day (including a few from me!) for well over a decade and archived all that info.

I highly recommend my followers check out the site. I really hope it doesn't get taken down, but I fear it might eventually.

Hiya! I get a lot of information from physical books published by reputable authors. I don't trust most websites since the rise of AI. If I do have to look for information online, I usually use Aquarium Co-op.

Feeding the 40 long. Finnley was mad because I usually drop in his algae wafer first, I didn't tonight, and he threw a fit, lol
