A fun aquarium scene for BluecanLee on twitter- a challenge to get out of my usual color-comfort zone, but a great excuse to break out the fluorescent pink. Gouache, colored pencil, and acrylic on watercolor paper.

Have a little cut of some videos of fish I took at the Haus des Meeres (Ocean House) in Vienna today!

They have reptiles, birds and monkeys too!

Also the building is a remodeled Wehrturm (air defence tower and bunker in the 2 worldwar). It's 11 stories high. (I hope I wrote that right)

Edit:

Here's a floorplan:

Every once in a while, it’s nice to stop and watch fish swim, and corals grow. And watch Flat Stanley do his hover-swim.

hot take for reef supply places and people who sell reef supplies:

to follow my "just because you put some $5 screen on top and plastic doors on it doesn't mean it deserves to be $110+" take that I had for reptile supply manufacturers:

your 25 pound box of dead dry white reef rock is not worth $200.

I'm transitioning from a freshwater aquarium to a saltwater aquarium today. I started out by going to two pet shops nearby to ask their opinion: could I just dump some salt in my freshwater tank and go from there?

No, ma'am, you most certainly cannot. Three different people told me that. So here I went, emptying it out:

Here's my canister filter about to get vinegar-ed (I chose vinegar instead of bleach because I didn't trust myself to use bleach):

I couldn't get all the water out, so I used every towel in the house to first empty the water, then clean the tank with vinegar and water, and then the rest of the towels in the house to soak up all the vinegar water.

So fresh and so clean!

Here is my tank after dumping new sand (can't use the old sand because it's got bacteria that could harm my saltwater stuff), filling with water (that got on the walls, and the ceiling, and all over the floor while I wrestled the hose), water conditioner, and 75 gallons worth of salt into it. Now we wait!

I plan on using my current 10 gallon saltwater tank to seed this one. I have a black clown fish and a damsel that I can put in in about a week after I have the filter media seed it. Yay saltwater!

i would just like to say how much i love my clownfish sh is so silly and likes to chase her tail, play with her reflection, eat kelp, and follow me when i walk near her tank she is just really cute and i know that she loves me even though everyone else is convinced that she's just a stupid fish

in the mornings when i come downstairs to go to the rink she comes and greets me and it makes me so happy to have a little friend and when i say her name she pokes her head out from her rock

also she has the cutest little markings, in some places her white part bleeds out of the lines so she looks like a toddler coloured her :)
