Snow_Phoenix Posted January 26, 2021 Author Share Posted January 26, 2021 Fishies in the morning today:- Poseidon 💦 : Bella: 🌺 Thanos: 💦 Goblin: 😄 These are my top 4 fav. fish of the tank. (Don't tell the others! 😅 ) 2 Quote Link to comment
Snow_Phoenix Posted January 27, 2021 Author Share Posted January 27, 2021 Finally got a few shots of Illaron this morning. Been a while since I took pics of him: Poseidon & Orion: 💦 Poseidon in the shadows: The Big Guy: The pearl bubble polyps popped up again...and was on my pink yuma & stinging it. 😕 Moved it away with a chopstick, but maybe I should slot it in a rock crevice and see if it can take root there (?) 🤔 2 Quote Link to comment
Snow_Phoenix Posted January 29, 2021 Author Share Posted January 29, 2021 Mornin'. 😊 Watermelon discosoma & orange rhodactis on Mushroom Mountain: Illaron on the prowl for pods: Poseidon-heavy update incoming! 😊 A close up: He was very active around Mushroom Mountain today morning: Quote Link to comment
Snow_Phoenix Posted January 29, 2021 Author Share Posted January 29, 2021 I managed to quickly grab several decent pics of his dorsal view today: 🥰 Also took some vertical shots for a change: Loved the little side-eyed glance he gave me: 😅 Quite happy with his progress. Tomorrow marks his first year of being a part of my aquarium. 🥰💦 2 Quote Link to comment

Snow_Phoenix Posted February 16, 2021 Author Share Posted February 16, 2021 Orion today morning: 🐲🐉💦 Blue hairy shroom has lost a fair bit of color: It used to be a vivid blue in the center with yellow streaks on the fuzzy tips. 😔 2 Quote Link to comment

Snow_Phoenix Posted February 17, 2021 Author Share Posted February 17, 2021 Morning. 💦 Cubert the conch on patrol: Leopold on the lookout for worms and pods to eat: I think I'll work towards getting a proper camera in the future. There are a lot of details that my phone's camera misses out on, and the zoom function makes pics blurry. 🤔 Would like to get clear close ups of my dragonets - especially Illaron in his breeding colors (his face is ringed by luminescent purple specks, and my phone's camera can't capture this). Would be nice to frame a few good pics of the fish and hang it up in my bedroom too. 😊 3 Quote Link to comment

Snow_Phoenix Posted February 18, 2021 Author Share Posted February 18, 2021 Orion greeting Poseidon: 💦 The size difference between these two are quite remarkable: Poseidon is around ~4.5" and very thick. Orion is <3" and quite lean. 😊 2 Quote Link to comment
Snow_Phoenix Posted February 18, 2021 Author Share Posted February 18, 2021 Thanos & Goblin. Nearly 3 years with me and counting. 😊💦 1 Quote Link to comment
Snow_Phoenix Posted February 18, 2021 Author Share Posted February 18, 2021 Pics of Poseidon taken exactly a year ago from today: Can you see the faint shadow of his lateral line back then? I didn't realize he used to be thin until these pics bounced up my newsfeed in my SM platform today. 😨 I'm so glad he has come a long way since then, and has gained weight, overall length/size and shown an increase in color over a year. 😊 Takes a lot to keep him chunky, but it's worth it. 👍 1 Quote Link to comment
Snow_Phoenix Posted February 18, 2021 Author Share Posted February 18, 2021 I managed to make a comparison pic of Poseidon's growth & change(s) in a year. Here he is, one year earlier (top frame) and last week (lower frame) : This fish gives me hope that I might be able to train more dragonets in the future & keep them long-term successfully. I think Illaron, my male scooter, has changed & grown quite a fair bit too. 💦 2 Quote Link to comment

Snow_Phoenix Posted February 20, 2021 Author Share Posted February 20, 2021 Picked up an extra large bag of mixed macro to replenish the fuge with microfauna today: Also picked up a very small, 3" sandsifting star: Which immediately went into my sandbed, and was never seen again. 2 Quote Link to comment

Snow_Phoenix Posted February 23, 2021 Author Share Posted February 23, 2021 Overfeeding this tank is necessary, but it does tag along with certain consequences. NR, meet my bristleworm army: And that's only a part of *one of my rocks. 🤐 3 Quote Link to comment

My sandbed is full of detritus and living things - I hope he lives long and thrives in this tank. All the other starfish-types (eg. fromias, linkias etc.) can't survive long-term in a system this small. I remember keeping two beautiful double tile stars and failed to keep them beyond 8 months. 😢 They were gorgeous and amazing to watch/document though. 1 Quote Link to comment
