🐟 Every Koi Is Unique
One of the great pleasures of keeping koi is the endless variety in patterns and colours. No two koi are the same — breeders prize balance, contrast and clear edges when evaluating varieties such as Kohaku, Sanke and Showa. Learning to read a koi’s pattern and body shape is a skill in itself: look for even colour distribution, healthy skin sheen and proportional body conformation.

At the end of last year, I wrote a rather lengthy article for the swedish guppy club newsletter, hoping it would be published in the january 2025 release. Sadly, they haven't published it yet, apparently there has been too few contributions this year and they have yet to publish any newsletter at all.
It would be a waste to have it go unpublished, so I just finished translating it and posted it to my Medium.

#fishkeeping #plantedtank #cichlids 🐟
I'm currently looking for other fishkeepers on BlueSky. Who are the best people to follow? Who has the best fish content? Who has the best store? What are the best #fish # hashtags? It's what I'm using #Instagram for.

The quarantine tank is set up for our incoming micro shrimp. I ran the filter in the main tank for a week, then filled the little tank with water from the main tank and transferred the filter over. Hoping to pick them up tomorrow and get them settled in!

Testing the water and finding perfect parameters and happy, healthy fish never gets old 😁
Just set up a quarantine tank since we're going to add some new plants and some Amano shrimp soon. My wife's students have been begging for them and I need to make sure to do things right.

More than one of my wife's students have commented on how clear the water is in her fish tank. I'm so glad the effort that went into getting the tank set up is being noticed. I don't want to be the annoying fish guy, but the other tanks in the school definitely just had fish put directly into uncycled water, and the kids can tell the difference.

It’s hard to tell how tiny pea puffer fry are so I set the container on a dime while they were having baby brine shrimp for breakfast. Such cute little guys. 🥰

Helping my wife set up a small 10-gallon #aquarium in her music classroom, and I sent her a picture to use to explain why there aren't any fish in there yet. Feels good to be getting the cycle going without any stressed fish, but it's definitely a long process when you're already excited about what to stock the tank with.
Planning on a small school of #tetras or #guppies, a few small shrimp and a mystery snail along with some plants.

after a couple of months of feeling like the hobby is more emotional drain than i can handle. both because i have let go of medaka as my main species, but also because of the recent and huge die off i suffered (lost about 80% of my fish).
the pet store surprisingly came to the rescue. a permanent 20% discount. and a list of species they pay good money for if i become a local breeder.
so i spent all day yesterday redesigning my fishroom for this new goal 😁

Nitrogen cycle (Biogeochemical cycle 🔄)
The nitrogen cycle is the biogeochemical cycle by which nitrogen is converted into multiple chemical forms as it circulates among atmospheric, terrestrial, and marine ecosystems. The conversion of nitrogen can be carried out through both biological and physical processes. Important processes in the nitrogen cycle include fixation,...

Biotope (Habitat 🌄)
A biotope is an area of uniform environmental conditions providing a living place for a specific assemblage of plants and animals. Biotope is almost synonymous with the term "habitat", which is more commonly used in English-speaking countries. However, in some countries these two terms are distinguished: the subject of a habitat is a population,...

Hello! Just dropping a video of my Aphyosemion Australe “burnt orange” killifish requesting some food. They just recently moved up to this new 10 gallon tank so their fry could grow up in the old one. Love these pretty little fish. 🧡
