Unixorn - 90% Snark by weight

I know that anything with aquarium on it costs more, but the aquarium tax for snowflake food is ridiculous. I've been keeping shrimp for less than a year, so maybe other shrimp keepers already know about this cheap alternative to snowflake food, but in case you didn't -

After watching some YT shrimp keeper channels, I've been feeding my neocaridina colony snowflake food a couple of times a week. They like it and I was almost out, so I was looking at the bag and realized it only has one ingredient - soy hulls. I paid $12 for 3 1/2 ounces of snowflake food.

I thought there must be a cheaper source, so I looked online and found soy hull pellets for mushroom cultivation were 10 pounds for $20. The pellets are exactly the same size as the ones in the snowflake food bag, and my colony eats them just as eagerly.

Snowflake food: $3.70 an ounce.
Bulk organic soybean husks: $0.13 an ounce. 28x cheaper.

I used to be ambivalent towards #guppies - though catfish remain my favorite #fish, the guppy group in my #aquarium is growing on me.

They are goofy but so stunning at the same time. It‘s crazy how an animal that looks like *that* is somehow deemed a basic and boring fish. Scarcity seems to play a role in how certain species are valued in the hobby.

Anyway, getting an aquarium has been one of the best decisions of my recent life, I can spend hours in front of that thing and not get bored.

Shot of one of the guppies in my aquarium. It is iridescent, has an intricate, maze like pattern over its whole body and a yellow fan tail with black markings. Green and pink plants are visible in the background

A very mediocre photo of my mediocre betta tank that I finally set up after the move. 10g/heated/filtered with fluval stratum substrate, root tabs for the Amazon sword and all my anubias tethered to driftwood and what not. Under a single bulb desk lamp.

I'll get a good photo once it's stabilized and after the inevitable diatom bloom and the plants have time to recover from being in a dark bucket for a few weeks!
