My project for the Thanksgiving holiday: Give my babies a new home!
A 55 gallon 4'x13"x21" tall
In addition to flag fish & neon dwarf rainbow babies I'm planning on a rainbow shark, black ruby barbs from downstairs and eventually some red head tapajos Geophagus (sand sifters) and Pearl gouramis.

A view from my 75 gallon: My Leopard Frog Pleco, a somewhat exotic pleco that looks great but don't ask it to clean windows!
Lots of Epiphyte plants along with an Amazon Sword in the back.

My Betta tank just now in a tall 10 gallon: a great size for a betta (but change to sponge filter).
"Buggy Blue" is nearly 3 years old.
Although hiding at the moment, there are also Ember Tetras and Pygmy Cories in there, along with Nerite snails and Armano shrimp.

Baby Neon praecox rainbow fish from NOW now originally from the 75 gallon tank. We also have 8 flag fish "babies" - 4 in this tank - you might find one - that are TONS bigger because they also eat plants all day long (including the dreaded black hair algae!)

A similar post says most StarTrek Fans are MAGA assholss -》unsupported BS.
I've also done lots of Star Trek Carvings.
----We're these done by a MAGA supporter or a progressive?
Answer: A scifi fan carved them
Fantasy & Scifi aren't MAGA related at all.

Fantasy/Tolkien isn't racist even when fascist tech billionaires warp its namesake.
Having played D&D from the 1st 3 blue books, read LOTR numerous times, as Sewer states, its a bad fantasy of racists to say these books agree w/their racism.
Fantasy is great, like my LOTR carvings. Racists arent.

The fun of Deathstalker 2?
Wut?
The original Deathstalker was good B movie schlock.
Deathstalker 2 and 3 were just schlock without the good or fun parts. Nobody calls Deathstalker 2 fun.
Maybe you're thinking of Beastmaster?

Thats a pretty good top 3 that mimics many who came to see them personally. Lots of love for the Alien Invasion. The baby dragon and Halo also showed well.
Of course all paled next to the power of 6, maybe 7. I've never seen a response to a pumpkin like that, selfies and all.

If you walk back in my timeline far enough, like 2 days or so, its pumpkin pictures all the way down!
You can virtually watch this thing get carved starting with an initial photo on graphite tracing paper (Saral's tracing paper! The good stuff!)

Happy #godzilladay
Carved by me last Thursday for Halloween.
2 1/2 feet+ of Godzilla fighting Kong on an Aircraft Carrier.
Yes, the movie plot was that dumb, but is was fun carving the Aircraft Carrier and water splash.
But Godzilla is the star of this pumpkin carving.
Happy Godzilla Day all!
