Here be absolute lads

Hey there, I like wet stuff and so should you. Water is full of some absolute units and on this here blog you can appreciate those still here on this floating ball of mysteries and those lost to time. I started keeping freshwater fish in 2021, so expect some fishkeeping stuff. This also occasionally doubles as a place to scream about fossils and paleo stuff so expect non-aquatic life too.

Guys, we've talked about this.

You need to give your domesticated wading ghosts larger death pools. I understand if you can't find a real Well, but you need an enclosure at least 5 times the size of the spirit itself.

Thank you for the PSA, and it’s certainly good advice! I am happy to report that in this particular photoset we’re looking at a temporary holding tank, possibly being used to keep a lab employee safe during a routine water test. There is a strict no-shared-space policy for outside contractors at reputable spirit preserves, both to keep the ghost from becoming frustrated at its inability to approach what it perceives as prey, and to ensure the safety of outside parties. Training sessions focusing heavily on positive reinforcement are used to get the ghost accustomed to the holding tank as well as short trips between the pond and an appropriate secured location. Many health checks and enrichment activities can be conducted directly at the water source, but sometimes a more controlled environment is required. Please be assured that the ghost in the photographs is doing ‘well’. ☆⌒( ^ ▽ ゜)

Hans taught Henry to swim. In time, Henry began to appreciate moments of peace and relaxation, when the water flowed over his body and cooled his racing thoughts 💙
