  1. The first time I saw my yoyo loach laying on its side, I thought it died and I needed to scoop it out. As I did it, it suddenly sprung back to life.

    Turns out this is just how yoyo loaches sleep, on their side.

    So here's my yoyo loach playing dead.

  2. Re-scaping my secondary aquarium. This was a quarantine tank, and it was looking quite bare and plain.
    I've added lots of lava rocks, plants, and moss from the main tank. I plan to start a shrimp colony here.

  3. Our fish gave birth again πŸ₯Ή
    I found at least two super tiny fry, so tiny I couldn't even get a clear picture of them.
    Here's my attempt at capturing one of the newborns on camera. It looks just like tiny blurry moving blob..

  4. Our Platy gave birth sometime in the weekend. We first noticed the fry on Saturday afternoon. Since then it's been mostly hiding behind the tank, around the plants. Today it started exploring towards the front of the aquarium so I could take a better video of it.
    Platy fry looks transparent/lighter in color when first born. It should develop its color and looks brighter in a few more weeks.
