Was anyone gonna tell me about Goniurellia Tridens or was i just supposed to find out myself?

yeah it’s one fly camouflaged as three flies but there’s also a moth camouflaged as two flies eating some poop and it’s honestly difficult to decide which one is more impressive:

Just an FYI, there is safe anthropomorphism and unsafe anthropomorphism. Example of safe: My snake has a stocking on Christmas and gets a species appropriate gift! Unsafe: My snake ‘enjoys’ being out with me all day and out of the enclosure, he’s only in there at night Its okay to treat pets like family, as long as you take their care, safety, and species into account.

it’s really common for all animals to act like dogs in fiction and I always assumed that was the case with stuff like frozen and santa’s reindeer but i had no idea domesticated reindeer really do just look like that

Ok so this is a bit of a read but I’m over the moon excited.

A few months ago I was on eBay looking at killifish eggs and I came across a listing for a type of killi I’ve never seen in the US before. It was only 15$ and free shipping for 30+ eggs, so you can bet my cheap ass bought those immediately. And i figured if it was a scam, I was only out 15$.

That’s the fish that made me risk it all 👆🏼 Anyways, the absolute latest date they were supposed to come was April 24th and of course, nothing came. I waited 2 weeks and still, nothing. So I emailed the guy and he apologized and gave me a refund. I was bummed but at least I wasn’t scammed.

Last week however!!!! The little dudes showed up!!! And they had come all the way from freaking RUSSIA. I checked the eggs and they all were eyed up! So I emailed the guy to let him know they came and they looked ready to hatch (even though they’re not supposed to be ready till August), and he told me to hatch them and to keep the money as an apology for them being late 😭

So Sunday night I put them in water and I woke up to 10 little wigglers!!!

My little Russian dirt baby. They’re so obscenely tiny. A little guy is in the red and his egg shell is in blue. There’s still quite a few eyed up eggs in the peat so I’m drying them and rebagging tonight to try again in a few weeks. So yeah, a probable scam was a complete success and there’s a man in Russia who owns my heart.

TL;DR

Ordered some sketch rare fish eggs off eBay and even tho they arrived super late, I was able to hatch 10 little men.

Update? I guess? Every fry from that batch was a belly slider and didn’t last more than a month. Super sad, but I repackaged the peat and rewet them a few weeks later with the same outcome. Every single one was a belly slider. And again, didn’t last the month.

So I dried them again and promptly forgot them in my closet until last week. The peat was pretty dry and it was months past their hatch date. But I gave it a shot and lo and behold, 12 more babies popped out. And all of them free swimming! So we’ll try this again. Hopefully I can keep them going!
