I just need the plants to start growing! They are in their melty phase right now but will spring back soon.

Haha, he gets excited.

Thank you!

That's an above size stick. 😅

I think pregnancy complications, see she still has 1 egg she’s holding

I hope she gets better soon ❤❤​@@Chick-In-Of-TheSea

Yeah! They are so much fun to watch.

They are cuties

It is a white worm culture that I raise for my aquarium fish to eat.

Hi! Music: Rain Musician: @iksonmusic

This video was taken at the local fish store, and the label on the tank said cerith snail.

That is Rhabdocoela. A harmless tank cleaner. 🙂

@@Chick-In-Of-TheSea haha i still find them scary. Hope to never get those. But atleast not harmful.

@@TerryLestrangethey are normally not so visible but since I zoomed way in for the video it looks like a larger worm. It is about the size of a grain of rice. A sign of a healthy ecosystem.

Finally! It’s talking a lot too! Quite the conversationalist!

@@Chick-In-Of-TheSea It took it long enough. Woodpeckers and Nuthatchs are good at talking to themselves.

It is cold! They need the calories.

@@Chick-In-Of-TheSea How cold has it been there?

@@gingerhipszky228our recent low was 35. It’s been between 40 and 60 for the last few days.

I hope it warms up soon!

Thank you very much!

lol! Nope!

Haha! This is a Neocaridina wild type shrimp, a descendant of my blue dreams. I used to cull (separate) the wilds into a separate tank but I like the wilds so much, even more than only blue, so I recombined everybody after I gave my friend 25 pure blue dreams. So I can get back to all blues if I wanted, from her offspring.

True! From time to time I end up with something weird in the aquarium. This is one of those times. It’s a relative of the mosquito. I fed it to my fish and it was gone in a second! :)

I love them. I hatched some last year. There are videos, maybe around June or July 2022

Yes! The Bolivian ram is so gentle with the snails, and keeps its distance, even when curious about the food the snail has. The ram will wait for the snail to leave the food before trying any. It’s so sweet how courteous the ram is.

@@Chick-In-Of-TheSea awesome! It's a female?

@@TerryLestrangeyep!

@@Chick-In-Of-TheSea you don't want to get a male ? I'm doing some research cause later this year I want to start again a aquarium. Making sure that certain fish won't bother the mystery snails ! You have a nice tank!

@@TerryLestrange​​⁠Thank you! Recently I had a male ram. It took me a good 8-9 months to find one actually in stock. Ultimately I found it at the Petco labeled as a “ruby clown cichlid”. Unfortunately it did not make it out of quarantine due to internal parasites causing wasting disease and the fish’s refusal to eat. I had medicated and began offering live grindal worms and live white worms to try to stimulate appetite. Sometimes the fish would accept it but many times it would not. Ultimately it became too weak and passed. I tried helping it for over a month. I plan to try again with another male ram but not yet; I am still too sad. The silver lining is I learned to culture worms. I now have 4 cultures going and my other fish like to eat them too.

That’s a good idea. Maybe it would hide the worms and buy her some time to get to them.

She did 🙂. I did another feeding and she enjoyed it! She is just holding a grudge now.

We get crows, mourning doves, cardinals, and bluejays.
