Cellos may be delicate, but they are not fragile. Just start with learning how to hold it, then how to hold the bow. Watch a few YouTube tutorials, and if you like it and are really interested, start looking around for lessons! Cello is super fun.

Dirtbikes. Motorcross is my other “hobby”, and dang, it’s expensive. 4wheeling is a pricy one too. Cello. Just a set of cheap prelude strings (that have be replaced 1-3 times a year) cost at least $50. $100-300 for nice strings (like larsens or something). The bow alone ranges from $50-500. A...

She dropped her fry this morning! 😀I woke up to mama looking thin and 5 healthy, beautiful, little fry (at least that is what I counted, there could be more in hiding). I moved the mama back to the big tank and she is happy and socializing with her partner. I’ve fed the fry egg yolk twice...

She still has not given birth. She is active, eating fine and doesn’t seem stressed, but no fry yet. I don’t see fry eyes in her tummy right now, but then again, the fry tank is much darker than the big tank.

This is Cookie. She is my grandma’s puppy. She is just the cutest. She is super loyal and well behaved. She is snuggly and just LOVES anyone who wants to be friends. She can be super outgoing, but is also very timid when she gets nervous (usually around other dogs or in strange places). I help...

So, about a month ago, I got a pair of sunburst Mickey Mouse platies. Shortly after acquiring them, the female got pregnant. I have been watching her closely. I very much want to keep these fry. I got to work and set up my 3-4 gallon hospital tub/tank with a cycled sponge filter, a small heater...

Color enhancing foods are usually just high fat and protein, high omega 3 and often have krill and extra beta carotene added to make fish really colorful. I like it because it’s super nutritious and great for color and growth.

I personally am a fan of Omega one. It’s meal free and really nutritious. The color enhancing formula is really good for tropical fish. I use omega one color enhancing and Hikarai fancy guppy formula as the staples for my livebearer tank plus some occasional frozen brine shrimp, mysis shrimp or...

This is Fettuccine, my praying mantis. Temporarily he is living in a large jar with some soil and a bunch of branches, but I’m in the process of setting up a proper bioactive terrarium for him with my bromeliad. He’s fairly young. I just got him quite recently. He’s a cute fella. He’s a little...

This is Marlin. I found him at the LFS last week and fell in love with the little guy so I brought him home. He is currently in my community with 2 other males. He thinks he’s the boss of everyone and he acts a bit like a crackhead sometimes (as is the guppy way, lol). Guppies might seem like...

Thiery, my new koi-Nemo boy. He’s so gorgeous, and dang, he’s so stinking cute. alas, Rosencross has gone blind and must be hand-fed his wormies now. He is still quite healthy, but I decided he probably wouldn’t notice as much now if I divided his tank to allow room for a new boy, so the tank...
