Yes, for those curious, babies do inherit the fluorescent protein gene.

The baby fish are now free-swimming! I didn’t mention this before, but when I originally divided the tank due to the first batch of eggs, I unknowingly separated another pair of angelfish. Today, I noticed that the free-swimming babies drifted over to the second pair’s side—where I also found a new batch of eggs! Surprisingly, the second pair has adopted the first batch of babies, and now both pairs are co-parenting. This is such a fascinating example of their natural parenting behavior!

Happy World Aquarium Day!

It's a day to celebrate the hobby of aquariums and fishkeeping. It's a day to share your passion with the world!

Fish and wildlife officials tasked with holding back a species that would otherwise decimate the Great Lakes fishery were among those caught up in a mass purge of federal workers. Dozens, if not hundreds, of workers in other agencies were also fired without notice.

eBay will be officially banning the sale of live tropical fish and most other live animals on their platform. They are now only allowing bees, feeder insects (crickets, Dubia roaches, earthworms, mealworms), ladybugs, hatching eggs (with restrictions), and sea monkeys.

This means that all other live animal listings must be removed within 30 days, or eBay may take action against sellers. You can read their full policy update here:

This is a huge blow to the hobbyist and small business sellers who have relied on eBay as a marketplace for years. Many of us have worked hard to provide quality fish, responsibly shipped, and now eBay has decided to shut down an entire section of the hobby with no real explanation but citing "government regulations".

What are your thoughts on this? Where do we all go from here? What about all the small and family owned businesses that relied primarily on the platform? Get Gills shut down recently and then now eBay too. 😢

Very disappointing news from eBay! 😡

Vallisneria 𝑵𝒂𝑵𝒂 𝑨𝒒𝒖𝒂𝒓𝒊𝒖𝒎

For a beautiful aquarium, it is not necessary to have different types of plants and then to think a lot about where to plant them

It is not necessary to spend a lot of money for a beautiful aquarium separate equipment. Fertilizers, lighting

You don't need to think too much for a beautiful aquarium

You don't need to be a professional to have a beautiful aquarium

Everything is simple and easy, you just put Nana Vallisneria in the soil

let's I will say that genius is in simplicity

Happy Sunday everyone! Babies still doing well. Growing off their yolk sacs.

Always fun to watch schooling fish 😍

So apparently you can now record with audio playing in the background at the same time with iPhones 😌

Assorted Guppy tank at Imported Fish! Some nice ones. $6 + 20% off!

New batch of baby Snow White Bristlenose Plecos. I was not prepared for this batch and they were kicked out of the cave. So I had them hatch in a container with an air stone.

#sewellia #hillstreamloach #Gastromyzontidae It was such a pain to catch these from the outdoor tubs! 🥵 Check them out on the MAS Winter Auction. Tong@TongsFishRoom" rel="ugc" target="_blank">https://auction.fish/lots/user/?user=Tong@TongsFishRoom
