the oldest of the tadpoles is now a little frog! and boy do i mean little!!! he's smaller now than when he was a tadpole!

NewJeans in her favourite spot, ass out, eyes closed, just vibing (it's right under the heat lamp)

requiem for vanished birdsong

All three tads have front legs now! Here's pics of the oldest and youngest tads from today. The oldest tad is visibly smaller, and its tail is about 40% of the size of the youngest one, as it has not eaten for about 2 weeks now while it reabsorbs its tail, and changes its mouth type

Day 34/100: Clown Featherback … nocturnal tropical fish with a knife-like body native to Cambodia, China, Hong Kong, Laos, Macau, Thailand and Vietnam lillianlee.space/2026/01/15/1...

Day 38/100: Four-eyed Fish … found mostly in South America, they have eyes raised above the top of the head and divided into two different parts so that they can see above and below the water surface at the same time lillianlee.space/2026/01/15/1...

Some fish I did the other day! I love nano fish 💜 I was experimenting with alcohol markers and color more #fish #art

I started a few plant chores while my partner was at the dentist just for "an hour or so." It's been 3 hours and im still fluttering around finding more plants to clean up lol

some of the different coloured shrimp from my 7g cube. Getting a skittles mix of shrimp colours has created some pretty fun iSpy moments in the tank. I'd say about 15% of the shrimp are wild-type, while the rest have a veriety of fun colours and patterns. I'd recommend it!

Many people think that female cichlids don‘t fight, but that‘s far from true. 🐟 #photography #fishkeeping

Scientists off the coast of Argentina found a rare giant phantom jelly 820 feet below the ocean's surface. The phantom jelly can grow as long as a school bus and was first discovered in 1899.

An update on my office aquarium 🐟 I dont love the wood placement (need to add or remove a piece), but I'm liking the addition of the red tiger lotus, as I think the fish and shrimp feel bolder with the shade and cover it provides. Left is how it looks today, right is how it looked in December.

#ProjectAnimalia 787: Seven-spot archerfish (Toxotes chatareus) I'll never get over the amazing hunting strategy of this #fish. Shooting water up to 2m to knock insects off vegetation. #sciart #dailyart #animalart #scientificillustration #medart #illustration #animalart #sundayfishsketch #oceanart

made a little terrarium for a new jewel orchid (Anoectochilus roxburghl)! I love the dark green leaves on this guy.

#Drawing some #fish for practice and overall mental health. What other fish should I draw next? #Discus, #Bettafish, #Cherry Barb or #Jeweled #Cichlid? #acrylicmarkers #doodle

A moment of life A 99-million-year-old snapshot of a Cretaceous forest. Here we see a twig, conifer foliage, rain bubbles, a tiny gnat... and a lone pseudoscorpion pincer. This is not just a single moment in time, but rather a glimpse at an ecosystem. #Fossil #Botanical #NaturalHistory #Amber

Pinocchio anole. A rarely seen species from Ecuador.

snowstorm is an awesome excuse to bake (shrimp) bread

a cinnamon frog sandwich? or a leaf sandwich?

Another belated (for my time zone) #SundayFishSketch. Here is シロギス Sillago japonica, whose slang in Taiwanese Hokkien 台語 Tâi-gí is 沙腸仔 or "sand intestines" for its slender shape and sandy substrate preferences. Tried it for the first time as sashimi recently, lovely! #TaiwanFishes #台灣魚類 🦑🐡🧪

the ranitomeya varabillis southern tadpoles have little legs now! they're so cute with their tiny little back legs. their colouration is also starting to develop. raising them over the past month has been super fun.

it's sumo the looooong way

Lots to see here! This is a Longnose Hawkfish (Oxycirrhites typus). It is perched on a bivalve of some sort (no clue what), and in front of that there's some small, translucent tunicates. Pic from Anilao #MarineLife 🌿🐟 #Invertebrates

Westslope Cutthroat Trout I'd like to keep felting local species at risk, but there are so many animals I want to make!

I'll take better pics later but my SECOND FELTING PROJECT: A cutthroat trout!

National robin day! This European robin is made of wool, polymer clay, has a wire frame in its legs. Textile feathers are hand-painted. #bird #robin #felting #needlefelt #sculpture #art #handmade #nationalrobinday #birdoftheday

So, I ended up adding some black specks to his chest. I think it’s an important detail because zebra finches have those distinctive spots. What do you think? #gryphon #griffin #birds #handmade #finch #felting #needlefelt #oc

Fresh water fishes 🐟

Good morning from the big tank 🐠

My largest fish with nearly 15 cm total length, and the unquestioned tank boss, is this male Coptodon bythobates Lake Bermin cichlid. 🐟 #photography #fishkeeping

#SundayFishSketch. Not really a sketch but my first attempts at Gyotaku.

Hi #PortfolioDay, I'm Jennifer and I love to draw all kinds of fish 🐡

Monday fishposting! I think this is a juvenile flatfish of some sort; I'm unsure whether both eyes are on the same side of it or whether that process has only just begun. Pic from a blackwater dive in Balayan Bay, Anilao #MarineLife 🌿🐟

This bobtail squid burrowing into the sand is already adorable, but please watch till the very end! It sticks out its little arms and earnestly sprinkles sand over itself 🦑𓂃◌𓈒𓐍

Mikrogeophagus ramirezi, the ram cichlid, is a native of the Llanos ecoregion of Venezuela and Colombia. These are a male and female that I kept some years ago of a wild-type strain. 🐟 #photography #fishkeeping

i saw one (1) underwater video of a thai pond with bettas, sparkling gouramis, and least rasboras and now i want to redo the 75g into more of a biotope-style scape of this habitat

So you're a medieval landlord, collecting property rent from your peasants in eels. How do you count them? Eels were usually counted in units called sticks (25 eels) -- possibly from the number of eels you can smoke on a stick at one time. 10 sticks of eels was called a bind. 🗃️🧪

European perch will follow around eels and wait for them to distrub prey then quickly rush in to snatch the food away from the eel. This is a learned behaviour showing fish aren't quite as dumb as you might think.

Big aquascape

Making progress on my 20 gallon aquascape

ive been really enjoying keeping bettas again! but keeping a group in a big tank means that multiple times a day, i think one has died because they really just Rest Like This

Russetfin Topminnow my beloved. I just learned about you and I cherish you so much. I have never wanted to go to Florida before I met you but now I yearn for the sandy creeks of Ookaloosa County. 📷 Seth Patterson
