They’re moIna! They look exactly like the picture halfway down this page: https://tropical-fish-keeping.com/moina-moina-macrocopa.html

In Britain “trump” refers to flatulence.

I got a good in focus short right around 0:30 in the video. idk they look so much like these brine shrimp: https://www.swelluk.com/swell-live-artemia-brine-shrimp

You’re right they look a lot like scuds but red! Maybe they’re extra rich in beta carotene. Only thing is scuds usually swim smoothly and these tiny bois kind of jerk around like daphnia or copepods. Hmmm. In any case even the fry like eating them. Just wish they weren’t growing in my dirty lotus flower pot 😅

I know this is a first-world problem, but I do bristle at the (current) NYC "Mansion Tax" maybe just because of its name. It defines a "mansion" as a home that sells for $1M+. My 1BR apartment cost about that much lol, how's that a "mansion"?

 

They don’t move like daphnia and I do hatch baby brine shrimp. Did I get some eggs in here somehow? This many?!

Can’t let the poors realize that government can actually be effective and help them …

 

So many fry; send help 😅

These are baby brine shrimp I hatched that are being circulated by the current of the filter/bubbles.

The medaka are growing up in a tiny hatching tank because my planted grow-out tank is still cycling. This is just a portion of the fry. I don't think I transferred this many fry over from my indoor pond; I bet a bunch of eggs came attached to the plants that I added in. Not pictured are also a few white cloud mountain minnow and peacock gudgeon fry.

 

Semi-hydro is so popular now, but everyone says to replace the water every few days because it runs out of oxygen. Coming from the aquarium/pond world I thought, "what if I put an extra bubble thing+pump into the pot?"

Apparently that's DWC. But so many of the ready-to-use DWC setups are...kind of ugly. I think people use them more for vegetables or weed. The caladium are from bulbs (etsy and Home Depot), the tradescantia are cuttings I took from a coworker's plant, and the "Ti" plants are still just logs I'm propagating that are showing their first little nubs now. Using aquarium liquid fertiizers.

I just want to avoid having a bunch of dirt in my apartment. Sweeping it, vacuuming, dirt stains...

This was while I was rearranging a few things in my indoor pond.

 

I know I know my underwater indoor pond camera blinked out right as we were going to see more. Does it look like it was moulting? Do you think it survived? A few seconds later I saw a loose bit of shell in the water…

I'm still figuring out how I'm going to set up a planted aquarium, after last having goldfish as a kid about 30 years ago. So forgive my naivete!

On that other big social media site, there's the AquaSwap community where I see a bunch of folks local to me in NYC are trading/selling/buying all manner of aquarium stuff (fish, plants, hardscape, more).

So for my friends on Lemmy: do you participate in trade with your local community? Where are they? Are they only on that other website…? Meetups? Mailing lists?

 

I haven't tasted anything yet. It looks acceptable. Not the best deal, not the worst either.

 
 
 

It's FICSMAStime

I can't be the only one who is reminded of this song with this event.
