Sokka my DSHM
(Gerhard) Richter my white DeT
Rothko my golden? HM

Rothko’s tank is super dark and due for some major plant maintenance. Gotta propagate the Rotala and the bacopa and hornwort and get rid of that other plant because it’s dumb. The good light won’t reach his tank since it’s screwed into the desk.

Zuko’s fins are growing back, I’ll take a picture in a few days of the progress :D

I gotta say the blue DS betta Sokka is stunning..now I wanna get my hands on one like him!

Flame Tail strain ELB male

Love the variety in the Flame Tail males. :)

Cool Black-ish body Black Bar male

Orchid strain fry almost all colored up :)

Like this guy's this black "bar" markings

Endler update :) So I ordered myself another batch of fish from AdrianHD…this time these awesome little Flame Tail strains. Definitely my favorite pure strain thus far. I sold a bunch more of Black Bar and “Red Chest” types and still had to do more culls because one of my tanks totally exploded with fry. But I’ve gotten some nice little surprises out of that tank. My favorite is this dark bodied Black Bar guy. I am seeing a few younger ones that might be coloring like him. Hope I get more!

Close-up on Cherries - MS Paint (c) 2013

Kind of started a fruit series..trying to get the focused look vs. out of focus without a blend tool/fuzzy brushes, not to mention working with a freakin mouse..definitely takes some extra time & patience..really enjoying working on these, though!

Penelope + Corvina in their strawberry house.

Sweet little Corvina

Koji lost all his scruff..he's all sleek and handsome now :3

Koji <3

Time for a mouse update…

so um. I ended up putting my 3 poorly tamed mice up for adoption..aside from the incompatibility between them and Penelope, I just didn’t have the time & patience to try to tame them better…hoping they will go to someone who will.

I named boy mouse Koji. He is a sweet yet hyperactive brat that likes to climb on the screen cover of his cage (and other..antics I will try to upload sometime.) I am hoping there is someway I can get him a buddy without having fighting issues.

Penelope doesn’t squeak incessantly with Corvina as a cagemate. Thank god for that..hoping I can introduce more mice eventually without issue. Probably will have to be young.

ok, I love these. For some reason my once stoner boyfriend doesn’t find these amusing and clever like I do, sigh. *update* ok, he laughed when I showed him these ones :p

“Rather than fighting for every woman’s right to feel beautiful, I would like to see the return of a kind of feminism that tells women and girls everywhere that maybe it’s all right not to be pretty and perfectly well behaved. That maybe women who are plain, or large, or old, or differently abled, or who simply don’t give a damn what they look like because they’re too busy saving the world or rearranging their sock drawer, have as much right to take up space as anyone else.

I think if we want to take care of the next generation of girls we should reassure them that power, strength and character are more important than beauty and always will be, and that even if they aren’t thin and pretty, they are still worthy of respect. That feeling is the birthright of men everywhere. It’s about time we claimed it for ourselves.”

- I don’t want to be told I’m pretty as I am - I want to live in a world where that’s irrelevant (via brute-reason)

they say New orleans is haunted… this has proved the theory 100%

I was sending photos like this to everyone when I started writing Nightmare in Silver. There is something uniquely disturbing about abandoned Amusement Parks.

Freshwater fishes has the most complicated inter-species community. Most of the fish can’t get enough food or some will fight back to get the food, some doesn’t have enough space to make territory or the space is not wide and big enough to swim.

Ever wondered what super overstocked tanks look like?

cries

//dead

Oh my God. This makes me wanna throw up. Those two Knifefish would look beautiful in my 300. AND THAT FLOWERHORN!!! I WOULD LOVE TO TAKE HIM IN. Sigh. And that first picture… One of the Oscars is just laying there… fjgkgdkgnkdjgdg

I just really hope that someone photoshopped these. Or just borrowed a few big fish to cram them in, photograph them, and put them back in their ginormous tanks at a public aquarium

I am seeing more and more of overstocked tanks. Extreme filtration makes you able to way overstock, and still keep the fish “healthy.”
Only for very advanced keepers. Even then it shouldn’t be done imo. It isn’t fair to the fish, who would never stay that bunched together.

Even with high filtration, having that many large fish (most of which are aggressive) crammed into such a small space is not healthy. Yeah, your water may be okay. But I cannot imagine a stress free moment in a tank like that. Fish would be constantly competing for space just to turn around. Yes, you could put a huge sump filter on a 100 gallon tank, but is it right? It would be similar to making people live in an elevator with a toilet and 10 other people. It would be kept clean, but nobody would have their own space.

Good Lord, that one tank especially with the massive fish..its distressing just to look at. D: Aquariums should give one the opposite effect. That better be a *very* temporary situation.
