      Beautiful collection man, I can see you have a lot of pride in how you keep your pets. You tell you love them. I love the fish tank, it's very natural and that is what I am about. The enclosures are look like I want to live in them. They seem very happy and healthy.

      I too, have a wicked feeder roach colony. I keep them as natural as I can for them, they seem to breed better. I get more young. I also have isopods and ween Beatles that are in my enclosures along with spring tails. They are thriving.

    What has been the most challenging encounter you have had with your tiny little loved ones? Have any got out and you couldn't find it? Bite? Do you give tours for students? You have so much to offer for education. Perhaps just do a video on what it takes to get to where you are as far as a setup. Years of time of course, but you can certainly share your expertise for all of us newbies or wannabe newbies. Your marriage partner love your extra family also? :) Keep up the good work. Love it!!

    Hi petko i just wanted to tell you that plecos arent a cleaning crew like isopods, but quite the opposite! they are sold as cleaning fishes because they suction to things but they have a massive bioload and also need a minimum of 150 Liters or so because they get very big. Also Check how much space the neon tetra needs because they like to be in bigger schools like 15/20 fishes and they swim a lot, so they need a bigger tank. I dont come from a place of anger or superiority but as an animal lover as yourself i want animals to be in the best enclosure one can provide. So thanks for the attention and pls look this up so the fishes can have their best life!

    It would look really cool and kinda punk to cover the ceiling in fan art, really densely arranged. It could spread outwards from your current fan art wall until it covers as much of the ceiling as you want covered. Just an idea, but could be neat!
    Also, if you don't want to lose the artwork, I would make copies of the art, store the originals in a box, and then like glue/glaze the copies onto the ceiling. Then you could do neat graffiti over it too and that would look cool! I can see it now.......

    Hello Petko :) please consider giving Thor a bigger enclosure and putting more plants in with Chips (possibly removing the hide since it's taking up too much space). I don't know whether you use UVB and heat lamp but those too help with their behavior, since they might come out more to bask. Chips probably doesn't feel safe to be out during the day, but the more coverage you provide, the more they will show themselves because they feel safe that they can easily hide.
