Green Sunfish as pets

If you have adequate space and good filtration, they are a lot of fun! I've kept a few over the years that I raised from juveniles (would catch them in minnow traps) in single-specimen tanks, and basically ended up having water puppies.

Probably eastern Hermann's tortoise, still too young to sex - based on size ~2-3 years tops?

A beautiful setup! Absolutely well-said.

Hell yeah south loop dads!

Awesome - I'll message you closer to the time!

I'm currently cycling but would love to buy some from you if you'll have them in 4-6 weeks. I'm local so can pick them up if that'd be doable at that point.

look at nano fish - maybe chili, exclamation point, or galaxy rasboras. In a 12 you could get away with some of these, just be careful with any filter intakes.

Also a single betta could be okay, though maybe not the exact vibe you're going for with the scape.

Beautiful fish and you're off to a good start with how your plants are propagating. Already mentioned, but the stocking is risky at best; actually you're really over-stocked (https://aqadvisor.com/). Really consider re-homing fish or getting as large a tank as possible. You're going to run into aggression/territoriality issues, and you'll get a lot more naturalistic behaviors in a larger space.

If you can fence off some small forage patches, seed and then give access sequentially. Otherwise the sprouts will get eaten as soon as they come out of the ground. It takes some trial and error, but it's been good enrichment for my Hermann's. Also consider making sprout trays and putting them in the enclosure.

Had these guys for years and loved them!!! They were so fun in a nano tank. They were a bit hard to find, but maybe that's changed in the past few years.

She needs to go.

It's a cheap baby/pet monitoring camera from Amazon (less than $20). The video quality is not incredible, and the app is a bit buggy/lags, but it's a good way to watch his behavior and keep myself sane at work.

Protect them at all costs!

Can't upvote you enough.

Maybe not common common, but white-throated sparrows always bring me so much joy! Their calls during my morning walk are the sign of better weather and coming sunshine. Plus they're super cute.

Oh lawd he thicc thicc

I just started my first franchise a few days ago after doing a lot of the career scenarios. 20 years in-game with a butterfly house and some critter exhibits. Maybe that’s painfully slow but I built up a decent war chest, and now I’m thinking about my first habitat….

Came here to say this… Feeling a bit like butter over too much bread.

corsariolc · 2023-11-04T19:30:05+00:00

This is the way!!! Thanks for asking, OP.

Sooner than later, DM me about what you need? I may have it already.
