This may be true, but this does not work. I already heard biologists complaining about that, including the ones who care about protecting the environment. While Europeans already sell Paracheirodon axelrodi captivity-bred and with value-added, here they remain collecting the same fish and...

Grass clippings are good, indeed. My red wigglers love it when I put. GaryE, what interesting. Is there Malaria where you live? Here, it is common to have in Amazon. I do not know if there had any case of Malaria in Southeastern Brazil. For the place, I suppose you are going to catch fish from...

Oh, okay, now I am the one who forgot... had I asked you about? I am sorry, I really forgot. That is good. We make pizza at home here, thanks to the terrible shrinkflation in the pizzerias. Anyway, okay, so many days reflecting. New Year's Eve, just me and mommy. I am not the one who thinks...

I prefer black soldier fly larvae. I used to cultivate them, and now, since is summer here, I can get lots and lots of BSFL with just some kitchen scraps in a shaded area inside any container. However, some animals (there are reptiles that apparently live in the warehouse...) started spreading...

That is the first Christmas without my beloved Constantino (Betta splendens)... However, Johann is here. I decided to use a hammer to break Poytara Betta into smaller pieces and... apparently, he is spitting less than before, accepting more of the food. Maybe the issue was granulometry? He...

It seems that this time my brine shrimp culture is going fine, once again... I'm sorry, no English subtitles. I'm trying to learn German in Duolingo, too (I may have already said that, but anyway...). My beloved Johann (Trichogaster chuna) is so picky (in Portuguese, I would say something...

Happy Birthday! It appears that my Artemia franciscana culture is thriving this time. These nauplii nowadays are now older... testing my new tripod. There is a slight bad smell, however. It may be related to hydrogen sulfide which are produced by some bacteria... including the ones from my...

That is interesting, thank you. Indeed, I did not know about that rule. For me to photograph the Moon like that, I have to zoom 20x in my Canon® PowerShot SX400 IS (at maximum), that is, for every breath, there is a big movement on the image I try to take. One of the photos I took, I showed to...

That makes sense. I will think about what I could use as a weight. Only yesterday I found out about the different thing between the legs... Photo I took of the moon several days ago, before the tripod:

Yesterday I received my tripod. For several years, I have been thinking about buying a camera tripod and... so, finally, I have bought something that seems to be decent. Although I don't know if this will last, it is interesting.

I do not know if I'm addicted to fishkeeping. I simply do not have enough money and space to build an empire. Speaking of this, my Trichogaster chuna (I think I'll call him Johann, honoring my German third great-grandfather) started to build bubble nests. My Betta splendens took more than two...

Curious thing... today I have received that. It seems that for some way, they finally terminated my bank account. So... no more mercenaries trying to fraud my card? Today was the day of going to the yoga group class. It was interesting. I was the only man going to the yoga. Since my knees are...

Indeed, it is a verified e-mail. According to Google Mail: "The sender of this email has verified that they own bankcommunication.capitalone.com and the logo in the profile image." I have this account still. I receive the bank statements every week, but since I do not have a US phone number...

Today I received an email from Capital One saying they are sending a new debit card, but... I do not live in the US anymore! How could they send anything? So, I had to talk to them in order to try to solve this. Since they do not have any email contact, I had to use Microsoft Teams to call them...

I became curious about a thing: besides Trichogaster chuna being sold as "honey gourami", what would be the other species? I had a male Macropodus opercularis in a 10-gallon tank several years ago, with a few Danio rerio. He was a very interesting fish, indeed, but, for some reason, he became...
