Fish Blog: Office/Desk Betta Planted tank with neon tetras = low-key lighting.

My 5-channel schedule:
🌅 9:30 soft sunrise (blue/purple)
☀️ 11–3:30 peak: 40% white, 25% pink, 10% cyan
🌇 4:30 dusk
🌙 5:30 lights out

8 hrs, long ramps, no CO2. Moss and anubias stay green, the fish colors pop, and algae stays chill. 🐟🌱

Blog: Aulonocara Peacocks Peninsula 🌊🐟

This is my 75-gallon African peacock cichlid tank, set up peninsula style so you can see in from three sides. Walk around it and you get a different view of the reef every time.

The scape is simple on purpose: a dark gravel bed and stacked rock piles, with plenty of open water so the peacocks can show off. These fish are the color show of the cichlid world. They come in reds, yellows, blues, albinos and OB (orange blotch) patterns, and they're all moving at once.

🐠 Inhabitants (Aulonocara Peacocks)
• Eureka Red
• Lemon Jake
• Blue Dragon Blood
• Ngara Flametail
• Bi-Color 500
• Sunshine
• Rubescens

• Pleco x1 on cleanup duty

One of the fish above is in my breeding tank right now. Can you guess which one is missing from the video? 👀

Every peacock in this tank came from Snake River Cichlids. The fish arrived healthy and full of color, and I'd recommend them to anyone building a peacock tank.

Oscar's Kingdom 🐟🌿

This is my office tank, and it sits right on my desk. Having a little underwater world a foot away makes the workday a lot better. When I need a break from the screen, I just look over and watch Oscar make his rounds.

Here's a quick tour. I built the whole scape around a big piece of driftwood that arches across the tank, then added a moss pad, moss balls, and a betta hide with fresh greenery on top, all set on white sand. A Fluval LED keeps everything glowing.

The star is Oscar, my red betta, who spends most of his time patrolling the top of the tank like he owns the place (because he does). A school of neon tetras weaves in and out of the wood below him, while a cory and a dwarf pleco handle cleanup on the bottom.

This post is also a goodbye to Angie, his tank mate. Bettas are definitely territorial, and Oscar made it clear he wasn't sharing. Lesson learned: give every betta its own space. Angie had to move on instead of Oscar because she wasn’t as pretty and not named after the star of Shark Tale, 🤷‍♂️

🐠 Inhabitants
• Male Betta (Oscar) x1
• Neon Tetras x7
• Corydoras Catfish x1
• Dwarf Pleco x1

🌱 Plants & Decor
• Moss Balls x3
• Aqua-Flora Betta Hide

• White sand substrate

⚙️ Equipment
• Fluval LED light

What would you add next? 🤔👇

I'm thinking nothing or paint the back of the aquarium.

Midterm turnout: the early numbers

Exit polls show a nearly even electorate: 34% Democrats, 33% Republicans, and 33% independents. Independents broke 56–39 for Democrats.

Early vote vs. share of registered voters:

🔵 Democrats: 39.6% of early ballots, 34.8% of registered voters

🔴 Republicans: 32.6% of early ballots, 30.0% of registered voters

⚪ Independents/others: 27.8% of early ballots, 35.2% of registered voters

Both parties beat their registration share, and Democrats beat theirs by more. About 57.7 million people voted early, roughly 27% of all registered voters.

This is a rough comparison: the numbers are preliminary, the state coverage differs, Election Day votes aren't included, and registration doesn't show who people voted for.

@realDonaldTrump, time to switch parties independent and work with both sides.

Personal opinion: The independents didn't have representation that could legitimately win, what's new?! We need a three-party system. It's the only way to #MAGA.

We the people, for the people

We aren’t red or blue, we are red, white and Blue!

Eminem’s verse on 50 Cent’s **“Patiently Waiting”** is ridiculous. The rhyme patterns, breath control, precision he’s technically going off while making it sound effortless. One of the greatest feature verses ever? 🔥

Where does it rank in Em’s all time verses?
