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...

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.

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).

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...

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...

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...

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.

I had a betta since May 2023, and this is the first time he will "celebrate" with us the New Year... Today's picture:

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...
