Tanks For All The Fish

Finally got done. Let me know if you're local to downtown Athens and would like me to drop off some maps for you. Tomatogen and Dratini patches: @jellomutt.bsky.social / shoes: @v-art.co.uk

Tank is planted. Rotala in the left, jungle valisneria on the right, moneywort in the center and water lettuce and Brazilian Pennywort as floaters. The hardscape is a piece of spiderwood and lace stone set up to resemble a valley with a cave. #Aquariums #Freshwater

Just finished applying for the Gender Reveal Trans POC Grant in hopes of getting funding to continue my work on my homeless resource maps, thank you @guineaduke.bsky.social for letting me know about it!

Houston... I have a problem. 😹 No, not really... it's only a problem when I can't walk between the tanks. (kidding) Going to get this set up, let it cycle for a week or so. I'll kickstart it with plants and some water from my other tanks. I want to get it ready to move all of my guppies over. 😸💛

Okay, you can have some ACTUAL fish tank stuff......SIKE! (kinda) #Freshwater #Aquarium #Snails #MacroPhotography

"It's in a tank...it counts" So, not fish, but it DOES involve a tank...our mantis upstairs. Went out to do some scavenging at night. #StillTechnicallyFreshwater #ItsATank #MantisAreJustTerrestrialFish #DontAtMe www.instagram.com/p/De-j9HrEW6...

If you're on Instagram, please consider sharing my homeless food and shelter resource maps so that more people see them!

Cephalopods are aquatic creatures, but this undescribed Abdopus species bends the rules a bit. Octopus can survive for a little while out of water, but the species is the only one known to regularly go on dry land, crawling from tide pool to tide pool in search of prey. #OCTOtober

Not fish, but still adorable. 💛💛

The seasons are changing, the water is cooling, and the lookdowns are back in town #lookdown #elegantoddball #shiny #coralcitycamera

Blanket octopuses (genus Tremoctopus) get their name from the webbing that the females have. When threatened, they can unfurl it to make them look big and scary, like a cat arching their back. The females can get quite big but the males remain tiny, only a few centimetres in length. #OCTOtober

Video of Blue and the neos. 🐌🦐

You get a photo of the mollies. 💛

Just got the o-fish-ial first copy of my second book, “why sustainable seafood matters!” After years of research, writing, and edits, it’s an amazing feeling to hold it in my hands! You can get your own copy, available for preorder now and coming out in November. @hopkinspress.bsky.social

Happy Hagfish Day! Today we’re celebrating hagfishes - hagfishes are ancient marine animals perhaps best known for their remarkable ability to produce large amounts of slime when threatened. When the slime hits seawater, it expands to form a gel which can clog a predator's mouth and gills.

Murf and his shrimp buddy. #🦐🐌

A different view of my 29 gallon tank. This is the far end, opposite of where I usually sit. It's the ember tetra's territory and the more quiet side of the tank.

Our friend the Mrora Forest Toad lives in the coastal areas of Tanzania, including the the Mafia Island and Zanzibar! Like yesterday's toad, they are a member of genus Mertensophryne, known as "snouted toads" because of their somewhat pointy noses! (photo by dmblokz)

You may have heard about white sharks in Monterey Bay in the news… Welcome to Sharktober! 🦈🎃 White sharks return to the Central California coast around this time each year to feed.🍴 Where are they coming from? 🤔 Learn more about white shark research in Monterey Bay: mbayaq.co/47tJkt0

Who's that Pokéfish?

Rainforest Trust buys up rainforest land, establishes private & public trusts and preserves wild areas to help save endangered animals. They also have people who are experienced local managers who help them conserve the land. 💚 I donate to them. www.rainforesttrust.org/urgent-proje...

In the coming century, there will be very few people who have seen a coral reef or a glacier.

Meet two newly named species of deep-sea siphonophores! 👋😍 New research by MBARI scientists and their collaborators reviews the diversity of deep-sea Bargmannia siphonophores and reveals two previously unknown species. Learn more: www.mbari.org/news/new-res...

The Northern Stargazer is both venomous and electric. They also are excellent at burying themselves in the sand with only their eyes and mouth exposed to catch unsuspecting fish! What an amazing number of evolutionary adaptations! #fish #aquarium #ocean #animal #science

Its dusk for the shromp tank. (I have a light that dims on and off on a timer to simulate dusk and dawn) the shrumps are really active at this time. Blue (the mystery snail) is a superstar of course. #🦐

Friendly Octopuses (Octopus laqueus) are able to get along with each other better than other octopus species. They aren't as gregarious the larger Pacific striped octopus, but they are able tolerate living in close proximity to other octopuses, although they prefer to live on their own. #OCTOtober

Flip, my pleco, doesn't like the frogs. He'll chase them out of the area if the frogs get to close. I think it's cus the frogs have no sense of personal space. I tried to get it on video but as soon as I start recording they stopped. You can see Waldo using Flip as a foot rest in this vide though.

Even the folks at my LFS weren't 100% that this was a male female pair. The individual I follow at the end is who they suspected may have been the female. I'll post video of the for sure male below

The seas are angry out there and the water is murky, but this huffle of migrating checkered pufferfish brightened our day today 😃🏁🐡🐡🐡🐡🐡🐡🐡🐡🐡🏁 #checkeredpuffer #pufferfish #pufferfishofcoralcity #huffle #coralcitycamera

The Long Island Aquarium opened in 2000 and contains 1 million gallons of water in total within its enclosures! It’s a great place to take kids to learn about ocean wildlife. #fish #aquarium #ocean #science #animal

10 gallon betafish tank with some really great shots of Murf the miracle mystery snail. (I'm gunna add a random honorific for him every time probs). Special appearances by some neocaridina shrumps, a nerite snail cleaning the hammock and ricky the beta, of course.

I'm not sure who was more curious, me or the peacock mantis shrimp. 😄 #marinelifephotography #marinelife #wildlifephotography #wildlife #naturephotography #nature #ocean #peacockmantisshrimp #scuba #eastcoastkin #ECK #photography

2nd Grimpoteuthis for this dive @schmidtocean.bsky.social dive 974 #samplinggap #MarineLife

The weekend has arrived, so here is a 🦀-post to celebrate. This is a White-spotted Hermit Crab (Dardanus megistos) that I met in Lembeh. #MarineLife #Invertebrates #Wildlife 🌿
