threadfin snapper, barcelona aquarium

please just hold still for three whole seconds

I’m always so delighted when I manage to catch a bird yawn on camera

You missed a spot!

Also what did your first aquarium look like? Show me if you got picture's :D

Bettas are not stressed by large tanks. They are stressed by too much open space. They come from large floodplains and rice paddies, that are thickly planted but can reach 5 feet deep, and several hundred kilometers long. It’s not that difficult to throw a bunch of plants into a tank. It’s neglect for self amusement if you house them incorrectly on purpose, instead of doing all you can to better them. 

I never posted the finished result!

Found this incredibly funny but also educational. Don’t put your betta fish or ANY fish in a bowl. Minimum 5 gallons y’all!! If you can’t afford the minimum requirements, don’t get the pet 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Im not being insensitive, pets are a luxury and if you can’t afford the things they need, you are torturing that animal.

One of my favorite NANFs, the Sheepshead Minnow is very adaptable and very interesting behaviorally. A species of Pupfish, family Cyprinodontidae, they can actually live in water that has salinty 6 times that of the ocean.

“The Navajo Nation and Hopi Reservation are extreme food deserts with only 9 grocery stores on Navajo to serve some 180,000 people and only 1 grocery store on Hopi to serve some 3,000 people. These communities also have high numbers of elderly, diabetic, and cancer-afflicted (i.e., high risk) individuals. These communities could be devastated by coronavirus and COVID-19. We want to help these individuals, especially the elderly and families with children, to gain access to the food and water (1/3 of Navajo residents do not have running water) they will need to weather this pandemic. The need is so great. Navajo regularly has roughly 50% unemployment (most of the residents are elderly or children; those who can work often leave the Nation to find jobs), and Hopi seems very similar though I don’t yet know their stats. Families from both tribes were just hit hard financially by the closing of Navajo Generating Station. Hundreds of jobs were lost, and the tribes themselves have lost revenue that could be used to assist tribal members. Please give if you can. Our goal will be to help the elderly (especially those raising their grandchildren), single parents, and struggling families by helping them buy groceries, water, and health supplies, and by protecting them (and their vulnerable communities) from exposure by engaging volunteers to make the purchases and deliver them to a safe transfer location for the families.”
