The Planneria

Hi! I'm AJ. I'm an artist who like drawing funny critters sometimes.

🐍🐠🐉

This is where I'll be posting about fishtanks and my art of aquatic, microscopic, prehistoric and made-up creatures! I want to give love to the less-appreciated animals out there, like flatworms, shrimp, slugs, synapsids, and so on!

This is also my first venture into trying to run an online store! I have ADHD, and so I want to try eventually making things for bullet journaling and general planning goods. This is the shop (STILL UNDER COSTRUCTION!)

However, BECAUSE I have ADHD (And work full-time) I want to approach this carefully 😅 As such, I only plan on opening the shop for small periods at a time, and doing smaller "drops" of products rather than staying open indefinitely. If you want something I make and don't know when my store will be open, my site has a mailing list!

How my betta fish normally swims around VS how he swims after ive put him in "Fish Jail" to temporarily keep him away from new tankmates (ignore the duckweed disaster please this is my ugliest tank)

Ive noticed his fins are super "clamped" and he just looks a lot less confident than usual even when he seems to be relaxing and staying still.

And I have to wonder if when people say their betta fish is totally fine in a small container if they just dont know what their fish's body language is NORMALLY like. I constantly hear the excuse that "betta fish just dont swim around much"...but my betta fish patrols his territory all the time! He's super active and curious! (The first image is actually after i dumped a ton of new plants from the store into his tank to keep them wet, so thats actually him being nosy and investigating)

From now until Valentines Day, any order from my store will include a free pair of sweetie pie shrimp stickers!

The shrimpy stickers are not waterproof, they're more of a paper texture ideal for planners and notebooks...which is what I am making things for next 👀

Is your New Years Resolution to make a new friend? Perhaps of the Squiggly sort? We have a few hand-made Squirmy Scarves in the store now!

Crocheted by a real Grandma! (Who is delighted share her wormy work!) Not into scarves? I've used mine as a table runner and couch decor!

Also in Pride Flavors:

Made a Water Change Medal for aquarists to take pride in a difficult and often thankless (unless your fish can speak) job.
