A nocturnal catfish, it is rarely seen during daylight hours and should be fed at night. Among its talents, the clown pleco is a notorious wood eater, and must be given driftwood to consume, producing large quantities of sawdust as a result. I am well stocked for its dietary needs.https://swamplog.home.blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/gbr.jpggbrA pretty pair of German Blue Rams. They must be housed together, lest they grow lonely and fearful of their surroundings.2019-07-27T12:39:39+00:00monthlyhttps://swamplog.home.blog/2019/07/16/developments-a-series-part-one-of-three-fish-have-arrived/2019-07-17T09:40:19+00:00monthlyhttps://swamplog.home.blog/2019/06/25/im-going-to-put-a-fish-in-a-coconut/https://swamplog.home.blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/fish4-e1561453183420.jpgfish4https://swamplog.home.blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/fish3-e1563300171711.jpgfish3https://swamplog.home.blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/ttar_coconut_02_v_launch-1.jpgttar_coconut_02_v_launchStock image of a coconut.

It is not as beautiful as the previous image. Part of growing up is about learning that reality rarely measures up to fantasy, but if we can get past our disappointment it is ultimately more fulfilling. However, this lesson does not apply here because I saw the pet shop kribensis first. https://swamplog.home.blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/kribensis-01.jpgkribensis-01.jpgThis is an image of the kribensis cichlid that I found on the internet. It is very beautiful, but can be a pain in the arse to other fish when it is breeding. https://swamplog.home.blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/img_20190623_152909.jpgIMG_20190623_152909.jpgCoconut Cove, consisting of two coconut caves, a big red rock and some sand. Note the placement of the caves arranged to create the impression of a shared community space, while the large rock creates a neighbourhood focal point and meeting place for tenants. 2019-06-25T09:03:30+00:00monthlyhttps://swamplog.home.blog/2019/06/20/fish-ladder/https://swamplog.home.blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/clean-tank-e1561044406686.jpgclean tankhttps://swamplog.home.blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/tankaerial.jpgtankaerialAn aerial view of the tank, afforded by standing on the uppermost rung of the fish ladder. Viewing this on a computer screen creates an optical illusion, making it appear that the tank is oriented vertically, with ornaments and gravel stuck to the side of the tank. Rest assured, this is not the case.https://swamplog.home.blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/myfishladder.jpgmyfishladderThis is my fish ladder. It is made from some kind of metal, painted white. It is next to the chest of drawers atop which sits the fish tank. The ladder is positioned such that it affords maximum access to the innards of the tank, which is the fundamental purpose of the fish ladder. 2019-06-20T16:58:22+00:00monthlyhttps://swamplog.home.blog/2019/06/18/ive-gone-a-bit-weird-and-i-like-it/https://swamplog.home.blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/fish2-1.jpgfish2Believe it or not, this is the same tank. If you look closely, you will observe that it has the same objects as before, but arranged slightly differently. The colour is also different because it is no longer full of fish piss. Instead it is full of bacteria eating rotting food that I've hoyed in on purpose.2019-06-18T15:12:35+00:00monthlyhttps://swamplog.home.blogdaily1.02019-10-01T13:09:06+00:00
