Have you ever seen a fish look so concerned?

Got some snails. I have no clue what species they are

They seem way too big to be bladder snails, found them in the aquatic plant tank at the pet store (free snails since they don’t sell them and don’t really want them)

I haven’t seen their faces yet, but they seem to have long eyestalks and they are much stronger clinging to the wall than my bladder snails are, they are going to go into my big bladder snail tank either way but I would like to know what they are so I know how many eggs to expect

No fish in the 20 gallon yet, but we do have whatever is going on here

[Video id: Microscope video of a small white worm with a round head on aquarium glass. A comparatively enormous snail glides into view, eating algae. A tiny white copepod is also there, bouncing around.]

Some very helpful cuties~

I’ve had these snails for a few weeks now and they’re thriving so far. This is the best luck I’ve had w snails

March 2023: New Life

Seen while walking.

Aquatic snail in the wasteland: 

In pools on the way to the Vedge.

Seriously disappointed this was the best crayfish photo: 

There were scads of these tadpoles but I missed my chance to photo a salamander larva because the little bugger was just too quick: 

The greening of the wasteland. I hope The City holds off mowing it for awhile: 

I was excited to see a honeybee with a red dot on its head until I got home & discovered that red dot was a mite with the appropriately ominous scientific name of Varroa destructor:  

Back at the home garden. 

I’m going to try accelerating the break down of these pine tree stumps by covering them with soil & planting wild flowers on them: 

I’ll post photos as things progress:  

First bumble of 2023: 

We lost all our cool season seedlings back when the temperature dropped into the single digits but this plucky kale (It looks like a Red Russian) that no one remembers planting is doing great: 

Strawberry blossoms are go!:
