A biotope aquarium is an aquarium that is designed to replicate a real natural setting. For example, an Amazon River biotope aquarium will only have fish, plants, and substrate that would be found naturally in the Amazon River. I am going to do a biotope of a local lake. This will be a great project as I will be able to visit the lake to gather information on the conditions and life I want to build as close a replicate as possible to the environment that my Killifish have lived in for millions of years

On the morning of the 13th, I decided i was going to try and get my local chipmunks to feed from my hand. I got inspired from somebody on Tiktok who trained his chipmunks to hand feed.

At first, I started by simply placing walnuts around my yard. Soon a chipmunk found one of the places. I had to replace the walnut every few minutes, because the chipmunk kept shoving them into his cheeks.

I am re-taking many of the landscape photos I took over the winter in a sort of "Before and After" format. It is amazing to see the difference between now and late winter.

This will show just how much has leafed out and turned green from the grey photos i took months ago.

Rather than make a new post every time i see some snakes, or a dragonfly, etc. I am going to consolidate all of it to one post. Just pictures, and a description underneath.

This has every interesting thing i got a picture of that does not deserve an entire post.

The newt larvae are finally fully-legged, active amphibians. They have started eating blood-worms, gaining fat, size, and color. It wont be long until they grow lungs.

I finally have enough to say about the newts that i am going to start posting about them again.
