I have no idea how etsy works so if I want to buy one of the fish plushies, how do I send the pictures of the fish to you? Like how does it work?

With Etsy, you don’t need an account to purchase things from Etsy! Simply go to the page and hit “Add to cart”

You’ll get to a check out page immediately as soon as you click it, and you’ll come to a page that looks like this: 

In the section that says “Notes to buyer” you can add in any links to photos you have! If you don’t have them uploaded anywhere, you can contact me via tumblr, or email me at [email protected]. Please include your receipt number when contacting me so I can confirm it’s actually you! <3

If you don’t have an etsy account when you check out, it will ask you for an email address. This is NOT to sign you up for an account! This is so you can contact me via etsy if you have any issues up until your order is shipped off. 

Betta fish plushies take ~9 Days to complete, and you will be contacted throughout the process to confirm colors and scale design, or if I have any questions for you. Once you confirm a photo of the final process, the item will be shipped within 24 hours. 

If you’re really adamant about NOT using etsy, you can email me, using the email address above, and we can work something out via Paypal.

I hope this helped!

‘Wally’, the friendly Maori Wrasse, great barrier reef

[vaultedvagabond]

So I talked to a sales associate at petsmart about these incredibly cruel tanks and she gave me a number to call to complain (she hates them and has gotten in trouble at work for telling customers off about them) and I spent 10 minutes going off about proper betta care and they said they’d never received a call about the inhumane tanks they sell. I figured the fishblr community would appreciate a number to call and complain and if they get a decent amount maybe they’ll actually change how they do things. The number is 1-800-738-1385

Cleaned up my fishtank at work today! it is getting a little overgrown but I like it :) 

Im thinking about growing some plants up and out of the top of it but who knows! for now im sure ill just enjoy it as is and think about adding some red stems for fun!  

enjoy!

Best snail for algae?....

I don’t believe in using snails or other animals to eat algae. The best way to get rid of algae is to figure out what is causing the algae, fix it, and then scrape off the algae by hand. Snails only eat certain types of algae, won’t do well in all tanks, and need a supplemented diet.

I’m actually going to put this in my FAQ, thanks for bringing it up.

Fisblr Demographics Survey

Thank you very much for deciding to partake in this short survey, with the intended goal of exploring and understanding the diversity of the fish-keeping community on Tumblr, often referred to as "fisblr". Answer to the best of your ability, and feel free to withdraw from the survey at any time.

Hey! 

I tossed together a little survey sparked by a discussion in a fishblr discord- I think we’re all very interested in learning about what kind of people we have among us (us being the active fisblr community). Feel free to respond, it’s fairly quick. I’ll post some of the most common trends in a week or two.

Thanks :)

[lemongrabmypenis]

Probably useless info but, the water is super clear because of the carp!!!

[mikauthesassybetta]

help these bettas!

Giving a boost to this to see if anyone who lives near there and can care for them will reach out! “Hi Fishblr. I own a five betta sorority, one that I have throughly enjoyed. However, with school coming up and my new extra curriculars, this tank is simply too much to manage. I don’t have nearly enough time to dedicate to them that they deserve. The girls are free to a good home in the Minnesota Twin Cities Area, whether you take one or all five. They get along very well. I’m also giving away their supplies, stuff like the tank and cleaner and all that. The tank is a 20 gallon hexagon if you want it for the girls, but fair warning: the thing grows algae like a beast, I have no idea why. If you would like these lovely girls, you can contact me @angstyteenagerfjckmeup. Thank you very much.”

[bufomancer]

Unfortunately I have no space for new pets right now but I hope all these girls get lovely homes!! Followers, you guys helped me out when I rehomed my sorority girls, perhaps some of you can help this person out as well!

Fishblr Poll: What fish species do YOU think best represents fishblr?

Please vote based on what you feel is most representative of the *entire* community, and not just the ones you personally like best! Not about what animal is most popular in fishblr, more like who would be the best mascot for us.

Please vote for the best fish (or other aquarium inhabitant) to represent the fishblr community as a whole! Think of it as voting for a mascot for us.

(This could become a sweet enamel pin.)

I would appreciate reblogs if you guys don’t mind, I want to try and make sure the entire community has a chance to vote.
