#swim tank

[turtleblogatlast]

Something about this kind of swimming getup for characters always immediately gives me transmasc vibes. Blue swim trunks and a tank top? Sorry man my brain already connected the dots. The vibes are there, and they’re not leaving.

I was keeping fish in my old bedroom. I did not use a tank, I just flooded the room with several inches of standing water and let them swim around.

tobiizu mermaid au for @slurmdog in which izuna is an extremely rare kind of mermaid. the Aquarium has him (Wild caught, but he's happy about the way less stressful environment) and is taking exceptionally special care with him because he's so rare. They've never been able to study one in captivity before!

He's a squid/octopus kind of mermaid, particularly small compared to most mers, and gets his own special tank to keep him from getting bullied or injured by territorial mers in their larger main mer tank. And like real Octopi in aquariums, he makes his own fun when the environment doesn't meet his standards- or when he notices a fish in another tank and decides it looks tasty. The staff haven't yet figured out that he sneaks out of his tank at night to eat the other exhibits, and otherwise go exploring. They actually haven't figured out he's capable of traveling on land, considering they don't have any experience with mers that have tentacles instead of a singular fish tail.

Izuna has the run of the place to himself, and is enjoying the experience immensely, when he runs into Tobirama's tank. Tobirama is also isolated, despited being larger than most mer species (he's a great white shark mer, maybe?). Partially because his species means they're worried he would attack the other mer, and partially because when they tried to keep him in the big tank he got ostracized so bad he was in danger of starving from the other mer keeping the food away from him. He's also got terrible eyesight, which would make his survival more difficult- and means while Izuna sees him, he doesn't see Izuna.

Izuna is smitten. Tobirama has such sharp teeth and such pretty markings and Izuna is soooo going to win him over, he just knows he can do it!

This causes some problems for the aquarium, because a smitten izuna has some unfortunate instincts. For one: he gets immensely territorial, and his territory is much larger than anyone assumed. So now he's going to fight half the mers in this building. For two: he's going to try and feed Tobirama. starting with the largest (most expensive/rare) fish in the building, and working his way up to feeding Tobirama other Mer. On a more positive note, his body markings/colorations change to try and attract tobirama, which is pretty neat to look at! the scientist can't figure out why it's happening but they are studying it carefully.

Izuna can't get into Tobirama's tank (there's a lock on it with a keycode because people apparently get very weird about shark mer specifically.) He can shove bits of stuff through the top grating on a portion of the tank; it's actually just barely large enough for him to fit an arm through, or the lower half of one of his smaller tentacles.

Tobirama's used to being babied by hashirama, so when fancy food smelling repeatedly of one mer drops into his tank, he takes it as the gift it's meant as and eats it up. Izuna is pleased his courting is so well, Tobirama likes he's getting some nice food, the caretakers are confused where the fuck their nice fish are disappearing to- and why their great white shark mer is eating way less than usual.

Izuna is actually venomous, which the scientists as of yet don't know; it takes him a while to successfully kill another mer without using his venom. obviously he can't give Tobirama a food gift covered in venom! So instead, for a while, the mer deaths are considered part of the standard deaths for the larger tank- territory disputes, food fights, courting displays.

Then one day the scientists come in to find Tobirama's tank filled with blood and very small pieces of mermaid, apparently shoved through the grate on top. and a very pleased looking tobirama inside.

I’ve been negative interested in wedding planning but my beloved just suggested we could get married at the zoo.

We did the paperwork part and now just need to plan a public ceremony and gathering and the thought of doing that surrounded by otters is pretty off the charts.

Tank Grunt lookbook

everyday, sport, seasonal, formal, party (took dad's jacket without permission to look cool at the party and was punished for that upon returning home). the jacket in everyday outfits also used to be his dad's, but it's in tank's possession now, as well as the wristwatch that tank got for his birthday when other kids get videogames and toys.

i used to underappreciate tank when i played ts2 as a kid, because he didn't have an openly tragic story, and i wasn't mature enough to understand his struggles and how deep they are, so i used to think of him as some cliché local bully who's here to balance out actually cool characters. but i love him so much now, really catching up on that love and appreciation i failed to give him years ago.

Shout out to the creature ever

"The school policy clearly states that I can consume anything I find in my tank" tell 'em Lagoona.

Plus Neptuna??? Pretty sure this is the first time we've seen her in the show. She's cute!

Weekly anatomy practice with the Temerarious crew. Week 1 : LEGS

I opted to study neocaridina shrimp bodies instead of humans. Watch me paint a HDR shrimp at the end of this.

My study partner and I got to weigh our rainbow trout, and wow have they grown! They came to us weighing an average of 10 grams, and only in a month’s time even the smallest fish have doubled in weight! There were some very hefty guys too, from a randomly selected group of fish the biggest weighed 81 grams, a massive amount of growth considering how small they were before! We’re aiming for an average weight of 100-150 grams, so we’re well on our way there.

To weigh the fish, we put them under anaesthesia so they wouldn’t be too stressed about the situation or thrash around in the weighing bucket. Here’s a picture I took of some rainbow trouts still coming to from said anaesthesia, absolutely zonked:

You can see some drastic size differences between different rainbow trout individuals. Not to worry, every fish recovered and was swimming normally with their buddies after a few minutes!

ngl I’m surprised we haven’t gotten a “the more north you go the more south you get” bit with Florida yet. He’s done different parts of other states as individual personifications and I think it’d be so funny for Gov to walk into a meeting and Florida not be the usual Florida. Throw him for a loop.

Performing fucked up unethical experiments in Subnautica (I didn’t realize you could see the Kharaa spread in real time until I accidentally introduced it into my fish tank, then I stuck an uninfected peeper into the contaminated tank to see how long it took to be infected)

Turns out that it only takes about 50 seconds for the green pustules to appear (though it took me a bit to get the timer started so it was probably closer to a minute)
