Petco was out of frozen spirulina and brine shrimp cubes, so I bought frozen spirulina and mysis shrimp cubes instead. This one let me know through hesitation and then violent spitting that it was not an acceptable alternative. 😂
Meanwhile the dogs are staring at me in an accusatory manner and wondering why they never get frozen food when they would actually appreciate it.

Can I request the mokele-mbembe bichir?
Today on CHUNK! FUNK! GUNK! We rate
the MOKELE-MBEMBE BICHIR:
Tumblr media
5/10 Chunk
6/10 Funk
6/10 Gunk
As a preface, I know nothing about this fish aside from my little google research. I couldn’t find anything on its bones, so I assume that it has the normal amount and is just a good chunky little guy. It is very very cute, but still a pretty regular looking fish, moderate funk. A lot of things talked about snails eating the slime off of them, so I assume that they are gunky little guys!
Overall: 8/10
Omg they’re so cute Omg I want one I want one I want one Omg omg omg LOOK AT IT

Daily fish fact #534
Cichlids!

They have two sets of jaws, the other normal and the other pharyngeal jaws! The pharyngeal jaws help with crushing and tearing apart food.

One of my other tanks: the 180l tank next to the kitchen.
Tumblr media
I've got it from a work college, who didn't want it anymore 2 years ago.
I gave some of the fish away and only kept 2 ancistrus and 3 Puntigrus.
Current stocking:
A pair of Hemichromis guttatus Super Blue (love them, had the for a few years in another tank, but they'll stay in this one)
10 Puntigrus tetrazona (added 7, 3 is to little a group for them)
3 Ancistrus sp. (added a white female)
And one dwarf channa (rescue)
Also some snails

Cycles of fusion and fission enabled rapid parallel adaptive radiations in African cichlids
Adaptive radiation produces a great deal of diversity during the process of evolution, but not all lineages radiate, and in fact, most don’t. For decades, researchers have been interested in why radiations occur and many studies have looked at this using the striking radiation of African rift lake cichlids. Meier et al. studied the radiations within Lake Victoria and confirmed that the radiation in this lake, covering many trophic guilds, occurred only 16,000 years ago. Furthermore, they found that the radiation was able to occur so rapidly because of a repeating process of hybridization and specialization.

Could they be any prettier? I shouldn't have convinced myself not to get discus again for so long; they make me so happy.

Batch number 4 for this pair of severums. The last round made it allllmost to hatch so they're definitely doing better with each attempt.
