[pet-of-subs]

Me: crying, screaming, kicking, and scratching at the ground* “I’M DONE WITH BETTAS!!!”

Bettas, dragging me backwards by my ankles:

“WE AIN’T DONE WITH YOU!”

This variant of the Goldentail / Bastard Moray is known as the Banana Eel due to its colouration and markings resembling a ripe banana.

idk how the hell i’ve run a blog called ‘botanyshitposts’ for almost four years now without ever thinking to talk about this but in high school my little brother wanted a pet that wouldnt die so we got him a moss ball for $8 at a pet store and he named it tiki and it lives in this dedicated plastic tank at our parents’ house even though we’re both at college now. usually it doesnt do anything but over the past two weeks of winter break our family has watched in horror as it has gone about the process of slowly and ominously rising from its usual position at the depths of its abode to the top, where it now floats with gravel bits stuck to it from literal years of not moving. my mom has moved it to behind the sink so now whenever i go to wash my hands in the kitchen i have to face it and im scared

[botanyshitposts]

just squeezed all the water out of her like yall said in the replies and i put her back and shes still floating….maybe she just likes it up there

[botanyshitposts]

[botanyshitposts]

update: she sank to the bottom and stayed there for days and i thought this story was over until i WALKED OVER TO THE SINK JUST NOW

[botanyshitposts]

test: pet her, tell her she is a good moss ball

results: she sit 

[botanyshitposts]

wild things about this post:

-the amount of porn bots mass reblogging this bc of the word ‘ball’

-the amount of people with extensive knowledge about native moss ball habitats and care coming out of the woodwork to reply to this post 

-the amount of people endeared and riveted by her ongoing performance

[emerypens]

That wasn’t funny, you clowns!!!!
