Update

I think Princess Zelda lost her pregnancy :( Or else she gave birth and killed the babies, which is particularly sad because Samus is the one who impregnated her. At any rate she isn’t pregnant anymore.

To recap for anyone who missed it, Samus was found dead behind the castle a couple of weeks ago. Link died not long after that, so it’s just been Zelda, Bayonetta, and Pikachu chilling out with some snails. 

Of course, none of those three can impregnate each other so no one is pregnant or coupled off right now. Pikachu’s babies are growing well. There are six still living. There were seven, but one escaped and Bayonetta ate it. 

Because of course these updates always have to involve someone eating someone else. *sigh*

Hand-feeding the hillstream. Normally only for the benefit of the Sicyopus (who can’t compete with the big guys), but I love feeding the others like this, too.

Hey, first off I wanted to say I love your blog. Second off, I wanted to ask what is the minimum size for a saltwater tank? I was thinking about starting one up, but have only had freshwater before (my largest tank being a 55 gallon that is still in use). I just wanted to have some coral, maybe a few fish, nothing major, just to get some experience in before I go giving some poor fish improper care because I know next to nothing about saltwater tanks. Thanks for reading and for the blog, man.

Aw hell yeah man! Saltwater is awesome and so is being concerned that ur giving ur fish proper care 👌🏻

First off, I’d say there is no perfect size but having a larger tank is always gonna be easiest. If you’ve kept a 55 gal before and found that the water changes were manageable, I’d go with a similar size! Parameters don’t tend to swing as much in bigger water volumes.. you know the drill, if you’ve got a litre of water and you add one drop of cordial to it, you’re gonna have pretty shit tasting cordial. If you have a drop of water and you add a drop of cordial, yum, you’re gonna have a pretty sweet two drops. Same goes for ammonia, nitrate, pH etc.

Next up to consider would be the kinds of fish you want to keep. Coral don’t mind too much how big or small the tank is so long as the water is good. This is all rule of thumb, but if you just wanted to keep a pair of clowns, you could keep them for their entire lifespan in a 20 gal pretty comfortably. I’d say that’s the minimum saltwater size where most commercial small fish are still going to be comfortable.If you wanted tangs, you’re looking upwards of 100 gal to keep them at their full size.

I’d say compile a list of must-have fish and go from there, choosing a tank size that would house the largest fish.

Also keep in mind that the larger you go, the more frickin expensive everything gets. Even the water costs money ;)

Pet Store Blues Ep. 8

Customer: Hey, can I get a fish?

Me: Sure. What are you after?

Customer: *points to a $170 saltwater cleaner shrimp* This one! They’re so creepy, like a spiderfish or something!

Me: Have you got a saltwater tank set up? *points to their price tag* They’re cleaner shrimp, the ones that are $170.

Customer: Oh! I’ve just got normal water I think. Third degree problems!

Hey, my fellow LFS workers:

How badly are you dreading the release of Finding Dory?

[reef-rekt]

Can't wait 'til the release (because I'll get to watch it).

On the other hand, yup, there's going to be more people than normal that ask about buying Nemo & Dory.

Honestly, it's normally a non-issue though because at my workplace, even captive bred clowns are $90 a pair so people are generally not willing to pay up without experience and quality set ups (aside from that cake customer).

I think it's sweet. The films get a lot of people interested in keeping aquaria, and with most of the people looking at buying my main man Nemo, we encourage them to keep freshwater first. I have a lot of regular and responsible customers that came in for the first time like this!
