Who's the betta in your pfp? She's gotta be my fave lol 🐟✨ Also just really love your acc, it's *chef's kiss* 😙👌

that is starburst/cricket!! (originally named starburst but it feels a little long so idk maybe cricket instead…). she’s a very good girl and with the way her coloring has changed near her eyes, she looks very sassy.

isn’t she just the cutest? she’s very spunky too and I’m shocked she hasn’t completely terrorized the shrimp that live in her tank… I love her!

and thank you!!!!! my fish make me happy so I figure there’s a decent chance they can make other people happy too 🐟

could I get some cursed biology facts about shrimp please? thank you!

shrimp are normally pretty slow swimmers, using their swimmerets as paddles to cruise slowly through the water looking for food!

but in an emergency, shrimp can skedaddle AMAZINGLY fast, scooting away at about 30 body-lengths-per-second over short distances, which is so quick that they straight-up look like they're teleporting.

this was cute until i realized the fish is probably trying to not get eaten

A fish trying not to get eaten wouldn’t slow down when the “predator” slows down. It also wouldn’t constantly swim in a circle near the edge of the tank; It’d try hiding. Also a fish in a tank in a a public place that is constantly filled with people is not likely to see people as predators.

Animals, I think people tend to forget, also enjoy playing.

yeah that fish is absolutely playing with that kid, if it really wanted to escape it would just dive into the reef in the center of the tank!

(Moorish Idols are reef fish and naturally will seek shelter in the nearest nook or cranny if they get scared.)

many people don’t realize this, but fish aren’t stupid animals! most of them are on par with mammals like mice and squirrels in terms of intelligence, and they absolutely do play.
