Wait, is he modeled after a specific species? What I was going to type was "an excellent bronze jumping spider weighing set up if ever I saw one". But then I thought about the tiny little goofball I need to get up and feed this morning and giggled.

If you scroll past the spiders I have a post with a bit more of my art including the discus fish stitch I did! Constantly stitching, but as you know well each piece take awhile 🤣. Wish I could figure out how to pin 2 threads on here so I could have one for fish and one for art right at the top.

I have added a second sponge filter and promised myself to stay more on top of floating plants removal, so I will try again. Someday I may even get to try the big cold water change to try and spark some breeding with them.

That's a wonderful group! I need to bulk back up my pygmy corrie group. Quite a few died I think due to too little aeration.

I bet every little shape completed is also very satisfying! I felt that when I did some geometric animal designs! Your tank is lovely! I like the corries hanging out at the bottom! I love my jungles for how little cleaning I have to do on them 🤣

Absolutely Nora! Your abstract stitches have me absolutely memorized! You have certainly inspired me to try a geometric design myself! Thank you for checking out my tanks! They certainly are my world!

Why bother to learn the chant if you aren't gonna use it at such an appropriate time!
