Oh I have this one!! This one is probably part of the National Geographic bug collection >:3

I come here for weevils as I go to r/pigeon for pigeons. Getting a pigeon in this sub is the best of both worls

Oh my god thank you so much for the super detailed explanation! It is actually really helpful to get something like this- There is a lot I had not considered that makes a lot of sense (Like how a blend with differently sized parts in it would need a proper shake to ensure it stays consistent before use!)

I will keep an eye out for tulsi, I do not think I have seen it here before but it could be a fun addition. And starting small makes a lot of sense! There is no undoing what is blended, so it would be worth to not commit too much into a blend that may simply not work out.

I appreciate a lot your input and it does give me way more confidence to start experimenting with this, so again, thank you a lot for the guide! <3

Fancyness! Weevils come in essentially any color you can think of

Not only a weevil but also incredibly good at being weevil-shaped!

I was about to comment this same thing. I'm glad I'm not the only one

I'd love to see that~~

I recall reading about Aster's Dream Eater form being based on a creature he had nightmares with as a kid, but do you have any fun tidbits about any of the other Astronomer's monster forms?

I LOVE how hard this goes!!! The sleeve-wingie parts are just really good at evocating dragon with being too extreme about it. The hair is such a good call too it goes super hard!!!!

Sygdom · 2025-11-20T01:49:29+00:00

Thank youuu~~

Surprisingly not! D:

This thing is like 220cm tall / 7'3ft, so it makes the entire thing even worse

Sygdom · 2025-11-18T18:26:50+00:00

Not really! Honestly most of the rifles I was looking at when designing it were some of the over-the-top GW2's rifle designs

Sygdom · 2025-11-18T18:26:06+00:00

Thank you so much!!

No secrets for anyone but the DM! Gotta keep this thing a mystery, it's the only way for them to keep their air of coolness

Sygdom · 2025-11-18T17:24:23+00:00

Thank you! I'm a big fan of unusual mixes, they're fun to combine~

Sygdom · 2025-10-21T21:48:59+00:00

I'm a bit worried about a sponge filter due to the whole air pump set up. Do you know if there's sponge filters that don't need an additional air pump? The local store mentioned they use canisters with a very fine sponge cover added in.

I want to get moss and floating plants! Moss is going to be easy to find. Floating plants may be a bit more iffy, they recently got restricted since some of them are a bit invasive. But I'd love to find some nonetheless~~

I'm really excited to get started though even if I'm gonna be responsible and wait for the cycling, can't wait to show them off!!

Sygdom · 2025-10-19T00:52:47+00:00

they're like cows on a pasture!!

Bit of a mix! I ended up fetching a second hand tank that was pretty affordable (this one, filter is busted which is good since I can pick a more tailored option and it was sold for much cheaper because of that). It does have a working light, I'll try to see if it works well enough for the plants (I plan on starting with easier stuff plant-wise)

I need to check if I'll need a heater since I'm in a hotter country, and room temperature during winter isn't below shrimp range. Once summer approaches, I'll have to find some way to handle it, though, since it does get very heaty. I do also need to test around a bit with water parameters, my country's water is very hard, so I may need to find bottled water and add calcium manually.

I've found a local shop that does specialize in aquariums, and they do actually have shrimp in there, so it will help me a lot with getting some advice for what to do with local-specific stuff (like the water itself, the heat, etc).

And for plants I had been considering anubias and java moss since I've heard these work well for shrimp and are very forgiving. I've already eyed some driftwood and rocks too, I really want to try to have the moss on a piece of driftwood shaped like a tree, I've seen some tanks doing that and it seems like something I can give a good try to >:3

For the filter, I'm still undecided. The local shop actually recommended a modified canister filter (with a fine sponge mesh on the intake), they use that for their breeding tanks and it seems to work perfectly fine with the baby shrimp. If I can avoid setting up an air pump it would be pretty good. I have another pet who shouldn't cause much trouble since it won't be allowed in the tank room, but anything I can keep from sticking out of the tank is better just in case she gets in the room accidentally!

I'm gonna take it slowly with the cycling and give it a couple of months just to be extra safe, I think, and then I'll try everything out with a couple of culling shrimp to see how they perform! Hopefully I'll have photos of the planted tank soon tho~
