History repeats itself with this large spanish mackerel (1m long) being caught by my diminutive partner who is barely 5 foot 3. It took over 7 minutes to land after the first bite. On a previous occasion she was the only one to catch anything. In this case she caught the largest fish on the entire trip , very much to the chagrin of many of the chaps on this tour.😂 👍 😍

The world’s oldest living aquarium fish is actually even older than scientists initially believed.
According to an analysis by the California Academy of Sciences, the Steinhart Aquarium’s beloved Australian lungfish named Methuselah is estimated to be about 92 years old, with a high-estimate of over 100.
Popular Science reports that "Methuselah first arrived at the San Francisco aquarium in 1938": https://flip.it/Vgu_DO

One more shot of the tank for the road.
#aquariums #aquascaping #aquarium #aquascape #fishkeeping #fish

Whenever I set up a new tank, I plan on pulling the val out and replacing with some anubias or something low lying and distinct in color to fill that section out.
That would also be a great opportunity to rehome the endlers to a larger tank. Maybe they won't be as aggro w/ each other if they are in a 10g.
Either way, I am adding shrimp next week!!
#aquariums #aquascaping #aquarium #aquascape #fishkeeping #fish
I did a 30% water change yesterday and along with that put in some smaller inflow/outflow pipes. The outflow is a spin pipe which has improved surface agitation and isn't overwhelming the tank with flow.
I also added some Eheim double taps to the tubing for easier maintenance in the future. I am super stoked on that!
Plant growth has been really good. With that water change I cut down some stem plants and replanted them.
#aquariums #aquascaping #aquarium #aquascape #fishkeeping #fish
I don't think the little one was getting enough to eat. I tried to feed him extra while the others were distracted but I could never tell if he was getting enough.
These endlers are really particular. They seem very focused on their ranks in the tank and are constantly harassing one another. Maybe I should have gone with a more docile fish.
In other news, the snails are doing great. The mystery snail is so much fun to watch.
#aquariums #aquascaping #aquarium #aquascape #fishkeeping #fish
Day 24 tank update - The brine shrimp experiment was a failure. I couldn't keep the water warm enough to get them to hatch. Reviews of the eggs said 36 hours, but we needed to leave around 24 hours so maybe timing was the issue. Will try again!
Also the littlest fish did not make it. We left for a visit with friends on Saturday and got back Sunday afternoon to the little one dead. He had been bullied to the point of isolation.

When I was six or seven I went to a father-son #camp with my dad. We took a paddle boat out on the lake to #fish. As we baited our hooks the water in front of the #boat convulsed as a tremendous head and neck emerged from the water. I screamed "Dinosaur!" at the top of my lungs and the #creature sunk back beneath the water. I clenched the sides of the paddle boat - I knew it was going to come up under us and capsize our vessel!
