First time my Betta will "celebrate" New Year with me... last picture of this year: My brine shrimp culture's not good, so I gave him my tiny BSFL as live food...

I am still a little sick, so I have not made anything relevant, including during Christmas. My TOEFL score was 78/120 (in case I didn't mention it yet), mediocre and it frustrated me in some way (especially because doing another test is almost the same price). Is possible to enter some Master's...

Since 2012, by far the Seachem Prime has been the best for my case. If in the USA this is expensive, here in Brazil is even worse, since it pays several tariffs and taxes (being imported) and our domestic currency doesn't help, also. The product has a good performance, a thing that I still...

That's interesting. Today I was looking and... I found one suspect of being an adult from one of these worms from these tubes... These creatures seem to be from the subfamily Chironominae. They resemble this species.

Hello everyone, how is it going? Well, despite not posting my aquarium's photos here anymore (lack of time and other priorities), my tank's doing well and the cyanobacteria are almost eliminated. However, I realized that there are simply so many tubes around the aquarium! These tubes are on...

A few days ago, I bought the bundle including Age of Empires III: Gold Edition and Age of Empires III: Definitive Edition from Steam. As an RTS player, I love these series. Also, the AOE III is one of the few games that runs okay on my laptop. I find funny the name "Gozo" on this ship below...

Did my TOEFL iBT test today. Although I was not nervous during the test, I realized that I have some difficulties regarding listening and speaking... Is good that there is also the option for Duolingo, despite not being as widely accepted across U.S. universities as TOEFL. Also, a few days...

Huh... it seems that the TOEFL Go improved his functionalities and now there are more questions to practice. Yesterday, I also did this simple storyboard about a possible project involving my brine shrimp culture (okay, that is in Portuguese): This video I recorded a few days ago, about my...

How old are your babies? Maybe is already possible to feed them with baby brine shrimp. One thing that usually works as food for newborn fry is infusoria.

I always used the method that is usually indicated here in Brazil: Let the bag float to equalize the temperature for about 10-15 minutes; Cut the bag's top and start to add aquarium water every 5 minutes, until the bag's water volume triples from its original volume; Do not use the water from...

Although I haven't updated my betta's photos for months, he is okay. Currently, I feed my Betta splendens, every weekend, with live adult brine shrimp (Artemia franciscana, from my successful culture I have maintained since March), sometimes I also substitute the shrimps for tiny black soldier...

I am looking for classic movies like those you mentioned, @jaylach . Yesterday I finished seeing this video below about Francisco Franco's dictatorship in Spain (also for improving my English listening): Franco's administration resembles a bit about Getúlio Vargas's dictatorship in Brazil...

I scheduled my TOEFL test for this December. Although it's some late under the circumstances of looking for graduate programs, at least I will do the exam. A few days ago, I presented my research project to a fair from the institution where I graduated. The examiner, while commenting on my...

Since I graduated, now the focus has been on the first steps of the master's program. Although is a little late to apply, why not try e-mailing potential mentors, anyway? A few days ago, I made some updates on the video about my "shrimps": The paradox is the following: the adult population is...

This fish resembles the Brazilian fish known as traíra (Hoplias sp.), a fish known for its sharp teeth and its aggressive behavior.

Well, today I graduated... this was a simpler celebration since I'm in a hurry and I must get the undergraduate documentation as soon as possible, for doing evaluation and more. Without coronation, unfortunately. @Rocky998 This last fish resembles the Geophagus brasiliensis. What fish species...

While I was at gym today, I saw this cool car: It is a Chevrolet Omega, Brazilian version for the Opel Omega A. The model had good sales, also being used as taxis. My uncle had one and it was one of the most comfortable cars I ride as passenger, comparable only to a Honda Accord.

Does black soldier fly larvae work for trouts? When I was living in Florida, even during winters with cooler temperatures, I had several.

Yesterday I had to take a trip on my mother's Toyota Etios 1.3 with manual transmission (this ugly thing). The reason? Simply I had to take printed forms to comply with the "complementary activities". Despite the "complementary" word, these are other obligatory classes to get the degree. Also...

Besides thinking about my dreams, I'm trying to figure out what is happening with my brine shrimp culture. I suppose that they are dying by age since they don't live so many months. Then, I used a siphon and removed so much detritus, that was with a bad odor (anaerobic bacteria). Last Sunday...

Today I made a practice test on Duolingo. These points are enough for entering in certain American universities. The main advantage is that the exam is much more affordable than the TOEFL (just think that the Brazilian real devalued about 50 % in 5 years). By doing the TOEFL practice tests...

Well, I know that since the last post, it has been about three months... but who cares? The thesis was approved and the artemias from the culture were transferred to the current cultivation I still have. I can call them "House of Term Paper". The cyanobacteria issue is under the control as...
