Taking care of a hoard of curious young Snootlings is no easy task~

Introducing my Snootlings to my Wyrm went quite well more or less

Next in line: Saplings!

I hope Dipsy will make some more friends with them ( •̯́ ^ •̯̀)

Today there was a table sale at my local Aquarium society. I came home with a baggy of live black worms and 5 pygmy Corydoras. So TINY. They’re going to quarantine with the three baby Betta Rubra in the small tank until I’m sure they’re healthy, but since they’re been bred by club members I’m not really worried.

Here a little Rubra checks out his new friends.

I set the net down beside the tank and two Rubra and a Cory went to investigate it together. The Betta bubs are so curious and interactive. How can you not love them?

it is adviced to turn on your volume

@fallowgenes for da tasty sprinkle of angst >:3

Chapter one of a deep dive into the Snootling lore

Part 1 - Part 2 [in work]

Very rushed and rough drawings, I was getting excited and wanted to put it out here asap

𐔌՞ ܸ.ˬ.ܸ՞𐦯

I am kinda challenging myself to make the Lore a bit more tasty by leaving snippets with drawings and comics here and there instead of dropping it as one big wall of text onto you.

Reading is boring so if you want to see the whole story, give me lots of time to get this done bit by bit :D I'm trying my bestes....

I have a lot of fun throwing the itties around my doodles tho I thought I may share some stats about them :3c

Snootlings are born mostly in batches between 2-5 eggs. After hatching their first instinct is to climb either of their parents as form of protection and safety. During their youth they spend most of their time riding on the backs of their parents until they're strong enough to slowly explore the world themselves.

But even when they get older, they sometimes huddle on top of each other as a source of comfort

It is very hard to differentiate female and male baby Snootlings if they're still very young, since they all have the male typical head fluff and naked tails. With time they will either grow the more voluminous mane and fluffy tail or will keep the head fuzz and grow addition tuff on their tails.

I wanted to do a female version as well but I was kinda struggling a bit with this guy already so I at least wanted to drop this here BEFORE attempting another try

This was fun! Thank you for the challenge Crow :3c
