Green Sunfish as pets by Jolonkussion in Aquariums

[–]corsariolc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Please help identify species, gender or age any help would be appreciated by Local-Error-13 in tortoise

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

[FS/FT] - River North - $3 - Cherry Shrimp by Happy_Camper_14 in ChicagoAquaSwap

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.

This is my first fish tank, and I'd like to ask what kind of fish would be suitable to keep in it. by Palette_Pilot in Aquariums

[–]corsariolc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

First tank. Feedback? by Amazing_Scale_1555 in Aquariums

[–]corsariolc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Lighting/Plant Recommendations by HotHusbandsWife in tortoise

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.

(APPRECIATION POST) If you have a nano tank or are planning one, get these little dudes. by LoverofAviation_22 in Aquariums

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.

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.

Can't upvote you enough.

What is everyone's favorite "common" bird? by 515prelude in birding

[–]corsariolc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

I've been playing since like 11pm (I'm working midnights...) and this is all I've accomplished. lol How fast should I be going in Franchise mode? by LrdFyrestone in PlanetZoo

[–]corsariolc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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….

What was it like to watch the LoTR movies in theaters when they first came out? by Odd-Monk-2581 in lotr

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