There are actually 46 species of seahorse, they make up the genus Hippocampus.

This would definitely have gone up on the wall at my college's sexual health and wellness center!

Part of my last job actually was taste testing water. A very small part lol takes about 20 seconds all told from grabbing the cup to filling it and then tasting it a few times to make sure it's good and then recycling the cup.

 

Anything got you feeling stretched?

When they say it doesn't "really" snow, what do they mean? My experience has been that we are getting less snow than before, but still at least a few feet per season. If you look back at historical records, the difference in snowfall hasn't been so dramatic.

Crypts are infamous for their initial melting and slow growing. If I were you I would leave it another couple of weeks at least. It might be smart to gently clear away any decomposing debris.

Must be a big tank! Is it hard to grow plants with that kind of fish?

Looking good!

 

She's having a good morning and looking good while she's at it!

 

This was sold to me as an amano shrimp. When I first got a closer look at it I thought it was a low grade neocaridina as it had a few patches of darker pigment, but now it is pretty much all darker cryptic colored. I noticed these vibrating things next to its face while it's eating that my other shrimp don't have - is this some other kind of caridina shrimp maybe? Or is it a parasite at work?

I like the finer line work in this one, it provides a nice contrast to the wider, bolder strokes. Somehow it makes the piece more emotional for me.

Did you give this one a name?

 

She has grown some stately whiskers by now!
