    Fun story: My parents had a huge fishtank many years ago and the fish had slowly died out and was empty. My dad drained the tank and put the tank with its pebble sand floor (that had a bit of water still slushing about in it) in the basement and then we left 6 weeks going on vacation. We came back and I went down into the basement to fetch something and I passed the tank with the few centimeters of water at the bottom and .. SOMETHING WAS MOVING IN IT!! Turned out that the swordtails had dropped babies before they died out but the babies had been too tiny for my parents to spot when they emptied the tank however, the babies had survived... In the dark, in the cold basement.. without any sort of care.
    My parents then started up the tank once more and that number of swordtails grew for a good number of years afterwards but then on display :)

    Over time, I started to realise what amazing creatures they were, but I never wanted to keep one.

    I’m awful at keeping houseplants alive. My house has very few windows and little natural light, so houseplants struggle in here.
    Doesn’t help that my cat loves to eat and destroy anything remotely green.
    But if I could keep houseplants alive, my favorite is fittonia. Such a pretty plant and the one I had always told me when it needed water by drooping it’s leaves and dulling it’s color. Five minutes after I watered it, it’d be bright and perky and happy again.
    I swear you could watch it brighten up. So fun.

      @Annie_Annie__ 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I have some pothos, it seems to be the only thing I can keep alive. Mostly because the cat learned that if he eats it, it makes him vomit.
      Can’t do spider plants. For some reason those are like crack to that damn cat. He’s very much a climber, the type of cat that happily spends the day on top of bookcases or almost does himself in trying to sit on top of doors.
      Believe me when I say that no matter where I put a spider plant, he finds it, devours it, and destroys it.
      I read that spider plants might have a mild hallucinogenic effect on cats and I believe it. He’d much rather have a spider plant than a whole garden of catnip.

    My bathroom is a jungle. Two out of my five tanks are in there and my entire wrought iron shelf I squeezed in there is full of house plants. Once you have figured out how much nutrients are in the dirty tank water, you want to water the plants with it. No waste! But then you get another tank, so naturally you need more plants to water with it. It's a viscous cycl-, I mean it's a great system. Also I'm on the Monstera deliciosa train. Varigated pothos is an easy second.

    My favorite house plant is my Trans Plant. It's a polkadot plant with pink, white and red plants. Painted the pot with the trans flag for pun purposes. I really love how polkadot plants are very dramatic when thirsty. As long as the leaves aren't crispy, they will pretty much bounce back within an hour of getting water. (A lot of people think that it's dying or dead and not salvageable, when it's only thirsty and overly dramatic.)

    I have a tetra tank 29 long 10 years old. I’d neglected it a bit due to health issues. I refreshed & rescaped it in the spring. I bought a few more tetras, including some diamond skirt tetras. I noticed what I thought was aggression between the new diamond tetras and the white skirts which were about 3 years old. I filmed it & did some research & discovered it was mating behavior. I didn’t think much of it because the tank was mature, but also recently revamped. I went in to film after a recent water change & feeding & found new residents”!
