    Thank you. This is the article. Speaking of, these damn crustaceans died again! Yesterday I put more cysts (and also today). Whenever a person asks me how to culture them, I would like to answer like this "I have been trying to find out this since 2012". This, despite I now using a sponge filter...

    My scientific article was published today in a journal! Well, I also went to the gym, as I have been doing since about March 2022 (part of this is because I was trying to flirt with a girl... I wrote so much about this in my book! [1]). However, I found out that despite the exercises, I gained...

    Gosh, this happening just during the car inspection should be unpleasant to see. Why was not he allowed to say your car was overweight? Okay, now I suspect my brine shrimp are going well, once again. Today, I saw a couple, where the female was on ovoviviparity reproduction.

    I also support the death penalty, despite not existing in Brazil's criminal law (except in cases of declaration of war). The last free person who was executed was José Pereira de Sousa, accused of killing a farmer (in 1861) and, in 1876, Francisco (a slave) was executed for killing his owner...

    What would be the car? I know that there are good car forums across the Internet, as well as several DIY videos.

    If this is not an invasive question, what would be the course? Here in Brazil is prohibited to sell alcohol in some states during football matches and in surroundings up to 200 meters radium. However, the law itself is sometimes ignored. Last year, we had a tragic event, when a soccer fan died...

    This animal seems very interesting to have in an aquarium. I find invertebrates so interesting. I never saw this invertebrate here in Brazil.

    Probably the climate in the region is tropical rainforest climate or tropical monsoon climate. In Brazil, the natives from the Amazon region use buildings adapted to these conditions. I don't know if there are cases of black mold in Brazil. Köppen–Geiger climate classification map. Authors...

    I had a similar issue when I was living in a coastal city. By far, this is extremely annoying.

    I usually like to watch YouTube videos and also Netflix. Since I'm still learning, I put English subtitles.

    Here in Brazil, besides this torture, the indirect (and hidden) taxes are extremely high and there are several taxes that we don't even know exist (it is common to have medicines with 40 % tax). The car property tax is extremely burdensome (it's often equivalent to a monthly median income per...

    My laptop is a Lenovo IdeaPad 3 and, indeed, it runs some games. I bought the Age of Empires III: Definitive Edition and Age of Empires III on Steam, but only the last one runs well (also, the game is from 2007!). I hope I can get a computer that goes fine with the Definitive Edition. Besides...

    Interesting these phones. They are still selling in the US market? What are the advantages? Here in Brazil there are still landline phones for some businesses and are still common for medical offices. We had Walmart here in Brazil but, since circa 2019, the company left the country. I visited...

    What are you doing today?

    Besides writing my personal statement for my graduate application (or at least almost that), I remain stubborn, adding more brine shrimp cysts on the 17th (the ones that were born on the 2nd are almost extinct). Their birth date is between the 18th and 19th. I also added more aragonite and did...

    What are you doing today?

    After the gym (and tolerating hot weather, once again), I decided to go to a kind of "dollar tree" Brazilian version (although the owner has Chinese ancestry) and decided to buy a 17-liter translucid bucket (this time with a metallic bail) and a condiment container to store the brine shrimp food...

    What are you doing today?

    Well, I believe yes. Today I tried to create a formulated diet for my shrimp, this time I did a mix of three ingredients. I hate making annotations, but this time I made some notes. I was thinking also about using the ingredients in a brine solution (with high salinities) for preservation, but...

    What are you doing today?

    Still in my business pre-incubator project. Today I tried to make a new food for my brine shrimp. I used rice bran with some fresh water. After using a mixer, filter with a coffee cloth filter I got some cloudy solution. Just poured on the culture. I hope it works.

    My (very) low-cost 7.92 gallons tank

    Well, the tank's okay. I have a collection of the current tank photos, but there are so many that is impossible to publish all of them here without collapsing the thread. Since I received new equipment, now my aquarium has decent lighting (or at least something with functionality). My father...

    Yeah... unfortunately, just a few hours later, my dog attacked the cardboard box where the pump was. When I came to see, the pump was working upside down. Well, I had to transfer the culture to a high place.

    Finally, today I returned to the gym! This, despite the hot weather... once again... Also, my air pump and other supplies arrived. So, time to improve the project. For now, I must monitor both the performance of the culture and if my Boxer will ruin anything (she destroyed my siphon a few...

    What are you doing today?

    A few days ago, this simple sponge filter arrived here. The artemia will like it, certainly. Now all that's missing is the air pump.

    Thread for sharing art

    Well, a few years ago, I read my poetry: I hope I can fall in love again to write more poetries (and more drawings, too).

    What are you doing today?

    Still monitoring my brine shrimp culture. I am trying to find out and create a natural food solution for them. Yesterday I started to read another book (and there are at least two books that I still haven't finished). Due to scarcity, probably I will have to bring more tiny BSFL this weekend for...

    What are you doing today?

    My business incubator project continues going. Most of nauplii were born yesterday (January 2nd, 2024), and I made the annotation of their birth date. So bad I still didn't recovered completely, because I must return to the gym! This is how my tank is doing currently. Curiously, despite...

    What are you doing today?

    I'm also curious about this poetry... since I have not fallen in love with anyone in the last months (I think much more about the project involving entering a Master's program in the United States), I still haven't written any new poetry. Waiting for my new equipment for the brine shrimp...

    I succumbed

    This Fluval aquarium seems very interesting. This doesn't exist here in Brazil (probably here would cost a monthly median wage to buy it). Sometimes I find even my 30-liter aquarium a bit small for my Betta... That was my first successful Betta tank... a small 20-liter tank. Picture dated 2012.
