Aquarium Rundown

This beastie is a 160L beauty! All natural plants (water wisteria out the wazoo)

RIP Champs (12.12.2024 - 21.08.2025)

RIP Prawline (died 08.09.2025)

Miss you so much little buddy. I know you're snacking on bloodworms and chilling in a comfy tunnel in fishy heaven. Prawline, I know you're living it up and terrorising everyone in shrimp heaven!

6-7 x Bronze Corydoras (the Comrades™️ - we had a few deaths/MIAs :(( still not sure what took them out)

11 x Glowlight Tetras (The Shakiras - food is life™️ now a proper school!)

2 x Panda Corydoras (panda fan but too difficult for me :( )

4!! x Peppered Corydoras (didn't know they could cross-breed with pandas :'( )

9 x Pygmy Corydoras (love these little bastards)

NEW! 8 Kuhli Loaches!!! (3 chocolate, 3 kuhli, 2 whiptail....its a long story)

Anywhere from 9 - 12 QLD shrimp (Caridina Longirostris - the hardiest fucking shrimp)

A bajillion glass shrimp (Paratya Australiensis - sourced locally)

Second Tank (90L)

Jim the yabby! (They said he was a blueclaw....bitch he has pink claws)

~5 x feeder empire gudgeons. Were used to cycle the tank after they got kicked out of main tank for eating half my shrimp >:^( no i dont want them in there, two of them are still tiny. I can't bring myself to kill them, they didnt ask to end up in my tank. They cant go in the main bc they ate all my shit.

2 x little freshwater prawns that were brought home to see what'd happen. One is bigger than Jim. Jim will try to beat the shit out it if it comes near him.

Third Tank (30L)

Up-and-coming shrimp tank 🦐

First time fishkeeper, absolute Corydoras enthusiast. Been up and running since September 2024.

Please look at this tiny crab i found on my walk today 🥺🥺🥺

#crab #crustacean #sand crab #like he was legit maybe 2cm???#maybe 3????#we think bc it was so windy he got caught in the wind and blown up from the beach #so cute 🥺🥺🥺#its not too farfetched tho bc while he posoed to take a photo he got scooped by the wind off my hand #just a little guy ;-;

I just got home from a weekend trip down the coast. Just found Jim dead. Don't wanna talk to anyone for quite a while.

He was a good little guy.

No Name sussing me out after changing his water

#fishblr #betta #bettablr #hes a very odd little fellow....he really doesnt care about other fish???#champs loved the cories but this little fulla doesnt care about ANY fish #not aggressive...just ambivalent #he is VERY fast #he also doesnt care for being perceived.#he is the most expensive fish i have ;-; he cost 66aud. he was a chrissy present i finally picked out #you can see the blue in his tail better here! i promise it isnt fin rot #tbh he kinda looks like Vegemite toast but no one likes that name ;-; i was gonna call him Toast #we still havent decided on a name #also...a very slow eater?? complete opposite of Champs tbh

Water change day!

Everyone is always so active after a water change

#fishblr #aquarium #planted tank #also yeah the hygrophila had floated up ((thanks cories) but the betta REALLY likes it so ive left it #funnily enough....its my cories that like swimming through the rings

Grumpy gills does NOT want me taking photos of him

#fishblr #betta #bettablr #he is RIDICULOUSLY fast. ive never had a plakat before #its reading as black on my camera but its actually blue #i have had to change the angle of my filter pipe so it doesnt annoy him and two of my cories starting arguing bc of it #he's very cute #it was between him and the most BEAUTIFUL little veiltail #but i felt bad that someone might buy him and not give him a big tank #having got a name for him yet

im acclimating a new betta and im so worried that he's gonna be a dick bc he tried to bite me or headbutt me through the bag on the way home

#hes rIDICULOUSLY inquisitive but like....pLEASE dont be a dick

...I have the lids open on the tanks bc its quite warm today and Jim's tank is PISSED bc they expected food

#for context: jims tank literally only has the lid open when im cleaning/feeding/rEALLY hot bc yabbies can escape #jim has NEVER escaped and literally never tried. hes pretty content chilling #now i know when he gets big he probably will and the back half is secured with toddler locks lmaoooo #but weve literally not needed to bolt down the front half bc hes so damam chill #the prawn is raising hell bc she wasnt fed and expected food. just swimming around and sticking her arms at the water surface hunting

I HAVE SHRIMPLEEEETTTTTSSSSS

#...they're all clear but who cares!!!!#sHIMPIES!!!!!!!

someone tell my fuckass cat to stop catching skinks that wander into the house....AND THAT IF he does, that if he doesn't want them snatched off him before he can kill them, to NOT run up to me meowing to show it off!?!?!?

#i literally love skinks...we've got like little garden skinks and some kinda ctenotus as well as bluetongues #those dumb tiny penny lizards keep wandering into our house and my dipshit cat is always 👁👄👁#its the way he wAILS after i take them off him that takes me out like brother??? you brought them straight to me!?!!?!!#im so glad i have a spare mini jumping spider enclosure so theres a place for me to check them for injuries and monitor them for a bit #bc i wanna make sure they have the best chance of surviving and not getting attacked by birds or getting their tail stump eaten by ants

I THINK MY FUCKING PRAWN IS EGGNANT

#it was absolutely her moult that jim was eating.....but i dIDNT NOTICE THE EGGS UNTUL TODAY #maN #i tHOUGHT THEY WERE BOTH MALES DAMN #this evening shes strutting around with what fucking look like eggs under her

Ignore my high pitched baby voice, he was eating a moult of i think a prawn??? But he's so handsome today!!!!

#Jim

its a rainy day today so Jim's chilling in his cave

#yabby #jim #he was actually staring at my cat who likes to sleep in front of the tank

also in case anyone was interested i got a better pic of the opisithoncus

#not fish #tw arachnophobia #opisthoncus #he was so cute. he only had 7 legs
