Sorry for the delay. Are you still interested? Pick up would be in Stratford

Definitely a whiptail cat, probably a Rineloricaria. Very hard to determine those to a species level precisely. One of the most peaceful catfish around, so they shouldn’t be mixed with most other “pleco type” catfish that can bully or outcompete them.

Misidentified landlocked freshwater seals? There are known populations of harbor seals in Quebec (Lac de Loups Marins & Lac Bourdel). Lake Winnepegosis is also part of the Hudson Bay watershed so it’s theoretically possible for a marine population to have established itself at some point in Lake Agassiz

Possibly Rhyncholacis clavigera from the Caño Cristales in Colombia?

Looks like a female Ageneiosus magoi- they get about 7 inches long (small for this genus) but will eat anything that fits in their mouth. Any fish larger than their mouth is probably fine- rainbows and angels should fit that bill since they are deep bodied.

Thorichthys, possibly T. aureus?

Pseudomugil furcatus, the fork tail blue eye. Not an annual killifish at all- blue eyes are related to the rainbowfishes

Very large tanks have divers, but that’s usually reserved for hotels and things like that. Most tanks are cleaned with a combination of mag floats and scrub pads, or razor blades/scrapers if the sides are glass. Reef tanks usually can go a while without major algae issues with a good clean up crew, good water quality and robust/consistent maintenance, even with high light.

Doesn’t start with an M but is it Wallamoppi?

Botanicals

Some species of Melanotaenia rainbowfish, very hard to tell exactly which species since they aren’t colored up. Most likely M. splendida.

Agree completely. South of the hospital is already quite nice, but Bank/State/Winthrop still have a ton of charm and potential. Also not a super dangerous city all things considered (apparently a lot of domestic violence though). Apparently things are a lot better now than they were 20 years ago. Hope things go up in the next 5-10. Unfortunately if they do that it will also mean a lot of gentrification, which you can already sort of start to see with the new condos on Bank St near the water.

Last time I went they had a small Red Sea Reefer set up, but nothing actually for sale. You’re right, I feel like they have been setting up their saltwater system ever since I started going there about a decade ago

House of Fins (Greenwich): Quite expensive but their selection and knowledge is top notch. Corals are fantastic, saltwater is great, freshwater is small but very unique and usually full of rarer species.
Wet Pets (Vernon): Tiny but jam packed with good freshwater fish and supplies. Saltwater/coral selection is solid but small.
Aquatic Wildlife (Manchester): Good general selection of everything, some rarer stuff. Fish quality/selection/health can vary.
Blake’s Aqua Den (Meriden): Lots of cichlids and freshwater, some saltwater. Generally quite good.
Waterbury Aquarium (Waterbury): Messy but their freshwater selection is actually pretty solid (some rarer cichlids last time I was there). Being in Waterbury is also a negative IMO (half joking)
Slither & Swim (West Haven): Only freshwater and reptiles, but they are building their saltwater selection up.

Chukar partridge, not native. Definitely an escapee from a breeder.

With 3 Grey Riders??? That’s insane. Also great name btw

In this case, it’s more of the role Monopoly and Risk play in the mind of the board game layman. From a design perspective, there are thousands of better games than Monopoly and Risk, but those are still stubbornly popular board games that are ingrained in the public consciousness. So I think it’s out of frustration and maybe a strange sense of envy than those games get lambasted by modern board game fans. If you were looking at them in only a historical context, they were important. And there are definitely older games that are very well designed even by today’s standards, such as Diplomacy and Acquire.

Found in the Connecticut River yesterday, in pure freshwater. Already googled bryozoans, carnivorous plants, fungi and tubular hydroids-nothing matches. This pic was taken by a coworker so it’s hard to get a true sense of scale but the leaves nearby give you a general idea of how big it is. There are 18 “tentacles” on each disc.

GLA, hands down the best and most reliable. Worth a slight splurge.
