"Nature Talks" currently has a collection of over 15 snakes that represent 5 different species. We present talks about nature, mainly reptiles, to just about any audience that may request such a presentation. Since the recent conception of "Nature Talks", various non-venomous snakes have been taken to venues such as: university classes, birthday parties, classes, and civic clubs. "Nature Talks" would love to schedule an event with you and your class, group, or party.
Up-and-coming baby Discus fish!
Breakfast for the Altums.
11/14/2024
I'm excited about this, my prettiest Discus, spawning yesterday (during the thunderstorm). I hope that she and her male indeed produced fertilized eggs, and that they are good parents. Note: she is a "Tiger Turquoise" meaning, her turquoise striations run vertically, rather than the typical horizantal direction. The male (not photed) is a normal turquoise. I'm wondering if any of their offspring will be "tigers"?
The dance of the Discus Fish... two days ago I removed 18 of their own 2-month-old babies from their parents. I was wondering if the pair would spawn again, or cycle into their rest period. Well, they are engaging with this graceful courtship, strengthening their bond as a mated pair. Soon, they will obsess with "cleaning" their nest site, the grey cone. I suspect that they will spawn in another 3 days.
This video tells a story. On mamma's forehead are few of the only babies that survived a spawn ~2 weeks earlier. Mom and dad (since there were only ~8 babies), then spawn again. Now, these new babies started wiggling today and are still stuck to thier spawn site, while there siblings that are 2 weeks older feed on mom and dad's slime coat. I've heard that double spawns like this are rarely successful, but "so far, so good".
