First Animal species of the day (341) :
Common drain fly / (Clogmia albipunctata)

Clogmia albipunctata is a species of drain fly, a member of the family Psychodidae commonly known as the bathroom moth midge, bathroom moth fly or drain fly

Range : Every Bathroom 🚽 in the planet 🌍

This very common species has a worldwide distribution in tropical and temperate areas and is often associated with humans.[3][4] The species can be found near sewer drains, sewage treatment plants, plant pots, swamps and any other shaded place containing decaying, moist organic matter.[5] The species is a common pest around household drains, but the larvae have an important role in sewage treatment

Clogmia albipunctata adults have broad wings covered with brownish and blackish hairs. There is a tuft of blackish hair near each wing vein fork and a tuft of white hair at the ends of most veins (i.e. each wing has a pair of black spots near the middle and several white spots along the edge). The thorax and abdomen are covered in gray/brownish-gray hairs. There is a pair of antennae which are longer than the abdomen and covered in white hairs. The legs are brown with white annuli (rings) at the tips of the tibiae and metatarsi

The adults can sustain themselves by drinking water or consuming flower nectar[5] and live for about 12 days. They spend most of their life perched on walls. They move rarely, and with weak flight. The larvae live in aquatic environments, feeding on organic decaying matter, and take about 18 days to turn into a pupa, which develops into an adult after 5 days

Thorough mechanical cleaning of drains will remove the larval food source, and is the most effective control measure.[11] High-pressure drain cleaning will not only eradicate the feeding source of the larvae, it also cleans the entire length of pipe reducing the likelihood of drain flies from returning

[celest lintel]

Been seeing a few The Isle mockups starting to pop up with UE5 like Echoes of Extinction. Are these devs just fans of Isle wanting to "do it better?" It looks so painstakingly similar.

[thorny seal]

Best way to get rid of fungus gnats, water plants with scarid fly nematodes. Gone within a week, won't return for years.

[lone star]

They’re in my drains..

[willow grove]

you could use some drain cleaner, which will kill off any larva living down there, that usually does the trick out here

[lone star]

They died out from the freezing cold winters here but they always return.
I shall keep this advice in mind.

[full patrol]

Fungus gnats like wet and damp places. Their eggs can survive even if it dries out. Some ways to effectively kill fungus gnats that I've found work well:

• Pour very hot water down the drain in morning and evening. Not boiling, but close. Keep doing until you don't see the gnats for at least a week.
• Get those little gnat traps that are shaped like apples. Fungus gnats are stupid af and it actually works on them. Can use apple cider vinegar with a couple drops of dish soap as a refill.
• The Zevo traps also work well on Fungus gnats, but it can be expensive. If you get it, plug it into the closest outlet to the sink/problem area.

@lone star

@neat basalt could be stress related or a physical issue. Personally if I feel pain in a dream it's because I'm laying funny or a muscle is cramping irl.

[full patrol]

Lemme help you out on this one. I'd do just "fireflies" in general maybe. The one you chose is a potentially endangered species that is difficult to study due to it's lifestyle

First Animal species of the day (342) :
Florida scrub dark firefly / (Lucidota luteicollis)

This species of firefly, or lightening bug, is endemic to Florida in the United States.

The Florida scrub dark firefly is a habitat specialist associated with very dry habitats in Florida’s scrub, sandhill, and longleaf pine savannah habitats. It appears to be confined to upland ridges.

Threats to this species include habitat loss and degradation, climate change and associated drought, and trampling of flightless females.

This species is known from four extant localities and has an estimated extent of occurrence of 13,035 square km. It is possible that it occurs in more localities but has been overlooked due to its cryptic life cycle.

The activity period of this diurnal species is not well-known. Flightless adult females, which are subterranean, likely attract males by releasing pheromones. Females may avoid coming above ground even to mate, and may mate with males through the sand instead.

Although LeConte (1878) states that both males and females are without phosphorescent organs, the flying adult males do retain their larval bioluminescent light organ, which glows and may help females locate males in dark or shady microhabitats (Lall and Lloyd 1989, Lloyd 2018).

Lucidota larvae can be found within and under decaying logs, in leaf litter (especially pine), and near or below the soil surface (Lewis 2016,Lloyd 2018). They feed on snails, worms, and other soft-bodied insects (Lewis 2016). The nearly grown larvae or pupae become inactive during winter, then metamorphose into adults in early to mid summer.

No conservation actions are currently in place for this species, although it does occur within protected areas. More information is needed on this species’ life history, distribution, and population status in order to determine the most appropriate conservation actions.

First Animal species of the day (343) :
Common eastern firefly / (Photinus pyralis)

Photinus pyralis, better known by the common name, the common eastern firefly,[3] and colloquially called a "lightning bug",[4] is a species of flying beetle. An organ on this species abdomen is responsible for its light production.[5] It is the most common species of firefly in North America, and is typically found east of the Rocky Mountains. Photinus fireflies are often confused with fireflies of the similar-sounding genus, Photuris, which are also found in North America.

These fireflies are most noticeable around twilight in the spring and summer months, and fly close to the ground, usually around long blades of grass.[6] Due to the characteristic flight of the males, this species is also often called the big dipper firefly; the trajectory appears to follow a J-shape, lighting on the upswing.[3][7] During flight, this J-pattern is used alongside light flashing to attract females, who rest on vegetation instead of flying and signal back to males if interested

[rustic badger]

[modest isle]

Common Eastern fireflies are small soft-bodied beetles that range between 5 and 25 mm in size. They have flat black or brown bodies with wings that extend the length of their entire thorax and abdomen. Plates with red and black spots cover their head, and yellow markings can be seen extending the rest of their bodies, usually around their wings.[9]
Both males and females of this species have light-emitting organs on the ventral side of their abdomens. While this organ extends the length of the last three segments of the males' abdomens, only the second to last segment of the females' abdomens bioluminescence.[10]
Like most flying firefly species, Photinus pyralis is nocturnal

Common Eastern fireflies are found in a variety of habitats, ranging from temperate to tropical environments.[11] Although they can be found across most of North America, they are most densely populated in the northeastern region of the United States and Canada.

Some natural habitats of these fireflies include meadows, fields, wetlands, desert canyons, and dense forests, and while they can successfully thrive in all of these areas, they require moisture to survive at all life stages. P. pyralis also tend to form microhabitats using a variety of organic material such as leaf litter and rotting vegetation so they can better signal to other fireflies, establish hunting territories, and secure shelter to lay their eggs and survive through winter months. They are especially drawn to areas with damp soil and long grasses to better conceal females and offspring

Like all beetles, the entire life cycle of a common Eastern firefly consists of four unique life stages starting with the eggs, moving to the larval stage, followed by a pupa, before finally completing the cycle as a fully formed adult. The time it takes for these fireflies to complete all four stages can vary drastically, especially because they inhabit such a wide range of environments that the resources available to them vary significantly

Males are the first to start the series of patrolling flashes needed to locate and mate with a female. Males will actively fly while flashing, whereas females are sedentary.[21] They will flash every 6 seconds and wait for a responding flash from the female, which comes after a 1-2 second delay [22] It has been shown that females only respond to their conspecific males; identifying them by the color of their yellow bioluminescent flash, in combination with the temporal patterning, duration and intensity of the male flash.

Although their conservation status is classified as "Least Concern" by the IUCN Red List, these fireflies do face some dangers. Aside from natural predators, the biggest threats to their populations include light pollution, pesticide use, climate change, and human building and development in their habitats.

Second Animal species of the day (344) :
Common side-blotched lizard / (Uta stansburiana)

The common side-blotched lizard (Uta stansburiana) is a species of side-blotched lizard in the family Phrynosomatidae. The species is native to dry regions of the western United States and northern Mexico. It is notable for having a unique form of polymorphism wherein each of the three different male morphs utilizes a different strategy in acquiring mates. The three morphs compete against each other following a pattern of rock paper scissors, where one morph has advantages over another but is outcompeted by the third.

[rustic badger]

[modest isle]

The common side-blotched lizard is a species of small iguanid lizard. Males can grow up to 60mm (2.4 inches) from snout to vent, while females are typically a little smaller. The degree of pigmentation varies with sex and population. Some males can have blue flecks spread over their backs and tails, and their sides may be yellow or orange,

The speed of these male lizards during the end of their reproductive seasons is dependent on their body temperature. The maximum sprinting speed of these lizards is achieved when the body temperature is between 35-38 degrees Celsius

Male side-blotched lizards exhibit distinct polymorphism in their throat colors, and can be divided into three different categories. Each of these three different morphs varies in how it competes for mates, and variation within a breeding population is maintained by a rock paper scissors mechanism of frequency-dependent sexual selection. A cycle is created where the least common morph of one breeding season often has the largest number of mature living offspring in the next year. This is because one morph does particularly well against another, but poorly in comparison to the third

Orange-throated males 🧡 are "ultradominant". They are the largest and most aggressive morph, defending relatively large (about 100 m2 or 120 yd2) territories and keeping harems of females with which they mate. They are adept at stealing mates from blue-throated individuals, but are vulnerable by the yellow-throated female mimics

Blue-throated males 💙are "dominant". They are intermediate in size, and guard smaller territories containing only a single female. As they only have one mate to defend, they are better at catching yellow-throated sneaks, but are also susceptible to having their mates stolen by the larger, more aggressive orange-throated males

Yellow-throated males 💛 are "sneakers". Their coloration is similar to that of sexually mature females, and they typically mimic female "rejection" displays when they encounter dominant orange- or blue-throated males. Unlike the other morphs, yellow-throated males do not hold territories. Instead, they have wide-reaching home ranges that may overlap with several other lizards’ territories

Female side-blotched lizards have also been shown to exhibit behaviorally correlated differences in throat coloration. Orange-throated females are considered r-strategists. They typically produce large clutches consisting of many small eggs. In contrast, yellow-throated females are K-strategists that lay fewer, larger eggs. Like the male morphs, the frequencies of these two female morphs also cycle with time. However, the cycle is shorter – two years in comparison to the male morphs’ four- or five-year cycle – and is not a result of frequency-dependent sexual selection.

Side-blotched lizards display feeding behavior which can be influenced by sex or season. In a study conducted by Best et al.., these lizards were found to consume diets largely based upon arthropod populations within the area, within a given season. These populations vary by year, and different arthropod populations will fluctuate seasonally. The study showed a correlation between sex and diet, giving way to a number of theories that speculate why gender has an effect on feeding behavior and diet

Side-blotched lizards encounter a plethora of different predators in the wild and they engage in a variety of escape behaviors to avoid predation. In a study published in the Canadian Journal of Zoology, researchers confirmed that these escape behaviors – flight initiation distance, distance fled, and refuge entry – do not differ depending on what type of predator the lizard encounters or whether that predator is relatively abundant in their environment. Side-blotched lizards do, however, tend to escape more directly towards refuge when they encounter predatory lizards while less directly towards refuge when encountering predatory snakes

Although territorial behaviors are important defining differences between the different morphologies of these lizards, environmental experiences play important roles in the cortical volume of both territorial and non-territorial side-blotched lizards

First Animal species of the day (345) :
Northern warrior wasp / (Synoeca septentrionalis)

Synoeca septentrionalis is one of five species of warrior wasps in the genus Synoeca.[1] It is a swarm-founding wasp that is also eusocial,[2] exhibiting complicated nest structure and defense mechanisms[3] and a colony cycle including a pre-emergence phase and a post-emergence phase.[4] It is typically found in areas from Central to South America.[3] This wasp is one of the larger species of paper wasps and exhibits multiple morphological adaptations as a result of this.[5] Synoeca septentrionalis is known for possessing a very painful sting

They are considered to be paper wasps, as their nests are made out of paper.[2] Their nests will change as a colony grows. Typically, they will start as one comb within a ridged, domed envelope that also has a hole or holes where other lobes can be added as necessary.[3] Most nests have only two to three lobes, but nests with nine lobes that span over three meters have been reported.[3] Occasionally, some of the holes will be paired as two, and, combined, they have a perimeter of 10–12 centimetres (3.9–4.7 in).[3] Certain holes will remain open and act as entrances or exits for S. septentrionalis

Synoeca septentrionalis exhibits a blackish or dark blue color and has a metallic-like appearance.[1] Their wings are also quite large and are entirely infuscate

Synoeca septentrionalis is a Neotropical species found in Central and South America, especially in areas such as Costa Rica,[3] Panama,[1] Colombia,[1] Guatemala,[1] Mexico[1] and Venezuela.[1] Its distribution extends further north than others in the genus

Roughly a week after the nest is complete, the first larvae begin to hatch, and these will become adults approximately 30 days after hatching, marking the end of the pre-emergence phase and the beginning of the post emergence phase. It is at this point when the emergence of workers is largely dependent on the necessity to produce reproductive females that will become queens. Because S. septentrionalis is a polygynous species, more than one queen will exist at a given time, and often the number of queens will fluctuate. When queen number is small, the ratio of queens to workers will be low and thus the queens will have difficulty suppressing reproduction in subordinate females, of which some will become additional queens. When queen number is high, the ratio of queen to workers is higher, and suppressing reproduction in subordinate females is easier.

The wasps within the family Vespidae exhibit a wide range of body sizes, and S. septentrionalis is one of the larger wasps within the family. As a result, they are able to generate a lift force that is able to maintain flight in the presence of their large muscle mass. In order for this to occur in the most efficient manner possible, these wasps have enlarged wings and veins that are distally extended. The elongated wings allow for flying that is more energetically efficient, in order to compensate for their large body size and muscle mass, while the distally-organized veins prevent bending of the wings, which would result in a loss of energy

Second Animal species of the day (346) :
Wallace's giant bee / (Megachile pluto)

Megachile pluto, also known as Wallace's giant bee or raja ofu (lit. 'king of the bees'),[2] is a large resin bee found in Indonesia. With a wingspan of 63.5 mm (2.5 in), it is the largest known living bee species. It was believed to be extinct until several specimens were discovered in 1981. No further sightings were confirmed until two specimens were collected and sold on eBay in 2018.[3] A live female was found and filmed for the first time in 2019

Wallace's giant bee is a black resin bee with well-developed, large jaws. The species exhibits strong sexual dimorphism; females may reach a length of 38 mm (1.5 in), with a wingspan of 63.5 mm (2.5 in), but males only grow to about 23 mm (0.9 in) long. Only females have large jaws.[5] M. pluto is believed to be the largest living bee species, and remains the largest extant bee species described.[6] It is "as long as an adult's thumb".[4] Wallace's giant bee is easily distinguished from other bees due to its large size and jaws, but also a notable white band on the abdomen

The reports of Wallace's giant bee's existence come only from three islands of the North Moluccas in Indonesia: Bacan, Halmahera, and Tidore. Very little is known about its distribution and habitat requirements, although it is thought to be restricted to primary lowland forests. The islands have become home to oil palm plantations that now occupy much of the former native habitat. This has caused the International Union for Conservation of Nature to label this species as vulnerable

The species was originally collected by Alfred Russel Wallace in 1858, and given the common name "Wallace's giant bee"; it is also known as the "giant mason bee". It was thought to be extinct until it was rediscovered in 1981 by Adam C. Messer, an American entomologist, who found six nests on the island of Bacan and other nearby islands

The bee had not been spotted for over 27 years. In 2018, two specimens were collected by local sellers in Indonesia, one on Bacan in February and the other on Halmahera in September. They were subsequently sold on eBay, highlighting the lack of protection that is afforded to the rare species.[9] In 2019, a single female having established its nest in an arboreal termite colony on the island of Halmahera in Indonesia was found by local naturalist Iswan Maujud as part of a field expedition co-led by Clay Bolt and Eli Wyman

Wallace's giant bees build communal nests inside active nests of the tree-dwelling termite Microcerotermes amboinensis, which may serve to hide their existence from attackers. The bee uses tree resin to build compartments inside the termite nest, which protects its galleries. Female bees repeatedly leave their nests to forage for resin, frequently gathered from Anisoptera thurifera. The bee's large jaws assist in resin gathering; the female makes large balls of resin, which are held between the jaws. The association of the bee with the termite may be obligate.

Well depends what you are looking for. What resolution, what's the goal you want to achieve? Making sure the Isle runs well on Epic/High? Btw never base your PC towards an unfinished product because optimisation is ongoing.

[fiery jay]

Something like a should work.

[full patrol]

If you want to build your own PC, there's alot of "part picker" websites that can help you choose things that work together.

Prebuilt can be a little more expensive for potentially lower quality, but you don't have to worry about accidentally messing up your PC if you're not confident building it.

Some places will also build your custom PC for you if you want to have a custom PC but aren't confident in building it. Of course, it'll have an assembly fee ontop of the cost of the parts.

First Animal species of the day (347) :
Central African rock python / (Python sebae)

The Central African rock python (Python sebae) is a species of large constrictor snake in the family Pythonidae. The species is native to sub-Saharan Africa. It is one of 10 living species in the genus Python.

Africa's largest snake and one of the eight largest snake species in the world (along with the green anaconda, reticulated python, Burmese python, Southern African rock python, Indian python, yellow anaconda and Australian scrub python), specimens may approach or exceed 6 m (20 ft). The southern species is generally smaller than its northern relative but in general, the Central African rock python is regarded as one of the longest species of snake in the world.[3] The snake is found in a variety of habitats, from forests to near deserts, although usually near sources of water. The snake becomes dormant during the dry season.

Central African rock python kills its prey by constriction and often eats animals up to the size of antelope, occasionally even crocodiles. The snake reproduces by egg-laying. Unlike most snakes, the female protects her nest and sometimes even her hatchlings.

The snake is widely feared, though it is nonvenomous and very rarely kills humans. Although the snake is not endangered, it does face threats from habitat reduction and hunting. Some cultures in sub-Saharan Africa consider it a delicacy, which may pose a threat to its population

Africa's largest snake species[7][8] and one of the world's largest,[5] the Central African rock python adult measures 3 to 3.53 m (9 ft 10 in to 11 ft 7 in) in total length (including tail), with only unusually large specimens likely to exceed 4.8 m (15 ft 9 in). Reports of specimens over 6 m (19 ft 8 in) are considered reliable, although larger specimens have never been confirmed.[9][10][11] Weights are reportedly in the range of 55 to 65 kg (121 to 143 lb) or more.[12] Exceptionally large specimens may weigh 91 kg (201 lb) or more.[13][14][15] On average, large adults of Central African rock pythons are quite heavily built, perhaps more so than most specimens of the somewhat longer reticulated as well as Indian and Burmese pythons and far more so than the amethystine python, although the species is on average less heavily built than the green anaconda. The species may be the second heaviest living snake with some authors agreeing that it can exceptionally exceed 90 kg (200 lb)

The Central African rock python is found throughout almost the whole of sub-Saharan Africa,[29] from Senegal east to Ethiopia and Somalia and south to Namibia and South Africa.[30][8] P. sebae ranges across central and western Africa, while P. natalensis has a more eastern and southerly range, from southern Kenya to South Africa.[7]
In 2009, a Central African rock python was found in the Florida Everglades.[31] It is feared to be establishing itself as an invasive species alongside the already-established Burmese python. Feral rock pythons were also noted in the 1990s in the Everglades

Documented attacks on humans are exceptionally rare, despite the species being common in many regions of Africa, and living in diverse habitats including those with agricultural activity.[29] Few deaths are well-substantiated, with no reports of a human being consumed.[29] Large specimens (which are more common in Western Africa) "would have no difficulty in eating adult humans",[29] though it would have to be a small adult human.

Second Animal species of the day (348) :
Goliath frog / (Conraua goliath)

The goliath frog (Conraua goliath), otherwise known commonly as the giant slippery frog and the goliath bullfrog, is a species of frog in the family Conrauidae. The goliath frog is the largest living frog.[3][4] Specimens can grow up to 32 centimetres (12.6 in) in length from snout to vent, and weigh up to 3.25 kilograms (7.2 lb). This species has a relatively small habitat range in Cameroon and Equatorial Guinea.[5] Its numbers are dwindling due to habitat destruction, collection for food, and the pet trade

Sexual dimorphism between the sexes is minimal.[6] In a sample of 15 individuals, weights ranged between 600 and 3,250 g (1.3 and 7.2 lb), and snout-vent lengths were between 17 and 32 cm (6.7 and 12.6 in).[5] Their eyes can be nearly 2.5 cm (1.0 in) in diameter. The conspicuous tympanum has a diameter around 0.5 cm (0.20 in) and is separated from the eye by about 5 cm (2.0 in) in adults. Goliath frog eggs and tadpoles are about the same size as other frogs despite their very large adult form

The goliath frog is mainly found near waterfalls in Equatorial Guinea and Cameroon. Their habitat is divided into two main seasons: the dry season which occurs from November to April and the rainy season which occurs from May to October

Due to its large size, the goliath frog has an extremely selective distribution. This species is primarily located in a dense equatorial forest fringe which is somewhat parallel to the coast and surrounded by rivers. The goliath frog has been located in Sanaga Basin (mainly appearing near the Nachtigal cascades and in the Sakbayeme rapids), Kienke Basin, Ntem Basin (mainly being located near the rapids of the Mensolo and Nsana), and Mbía Basin

[cedar crescent]

Holy frog

[modest isle]

The primary threat to the goliath frog is hunting, as it is considered a food source in its native range.[1] The IUCN has highlighted the need for conservation measures, in cooperation with local communities, to ensure hunting occurs at sustainable levels

was determined in a study that the goliath frog consumes a wide variety of food, suggesting that the frog is omnivorous with a carnivorous preference. Their prey are terrestrial, aquatic, and semi-aquatic, indicating that they hunt both on land and in water. Food preferences were different among the different weight groups of frogs, possibly correlating to different stages of development. Frogs weighing less than 400 g (14 oz) consumed annelids, arachnids, myriapods, insects, crustaceans, gastropods, and reptiles. Frogs weighing more than 1,000 g (35 oz) consumed arachnids, myriapods, insects, crustaceans, and gastropods with a significantly higher occurrence of myriapods. Annelids and reptiles were present only in the diet of lowed weight frogs, emphasizing a more diversified diet for younger goliath frogs.

The goliath frog can live up to 15 years in the wild and up to 21 years in captivity. Due to its large size ,Goliath frogs are only known to be preyed on by humans although other predators are possible The goliath frog creates nests as sites for their offspring as a form of parental care. There are three main types of nests: type 1 mainly contains rock pools that were cleared from detritus and leaf litter, type 2 contains existing washouts at riverbanks, and type 3 were depressions dug by the frogs into the gravel riverbanks. Each nest type contains advantages and disadvantages. Nest type 1 was the easiest to create since only cleaning of the substrate was required to create the nest. Consequently, these types of nests were the least reliable since they were usually positioned in the river bed which makes them extremely vulnerable to being washed out by the rising water levels and to having predators enter the nest. Both nest types 2 and 3 were less likely to be washed out, however, they have an increased risk for being dried-up during the dry season. Consequently, while each nest promotes clear advantages, nests are typically constructed depending on the environment cues (whether it is the dry season or the rainy season). All nest types can be used several times, and can consist of three distinct cohorts of tadpoles.

I'd forgotten about Beelzebufo's drastic downsizing ever since the early 40+ cm estimates. Later studies found it to be considerably smaller (even if the known specimens may have had some growing still to do at the moment of death). That makes the Eocene frog even more freakish!

Third Animal species of the day (349) :
Melanzona guppy / (Poecilia parae)

Poecilia parae, also known as the melanzona guppy, is a species of fish from the family Poeciliidae which is found in northern South America from Guyana to the mouth of the Amazon River.

Poecilia parae are known to have a number of colour morphs in the males, at least five distinct morphs are known, while there is a single female colour form. The colour of the male is linked to the Y-chromosome. Some of the morphs are always abundant in the wild, and others are invariably rare leading to the conclusion that the colour of the males has implications for their fitness

Laboratory work has shown that the most frequent morph is also the most reproductively successful morph. However, when the females were given the choice between two different males they preferred the rare morph males over the common morph males. This suggests that there are alternative male mating strategies involved such as sperm competition and overt male-male competition, among other possible factors, which override the preferences of the female fishes

Poecilia parae is found in estuaries in areas of both fresh and brackish water. It inhabits small swamps and shallow, slow-flowing creeks located inland with very fresh water. It is also found along riverine vegetation where there is clear water and a bed of mixed sand and mud. They are an ovoviviparous species and the females give birth to 5 to 15 live young after a gestation period of 24 days

Poecilia parae was described by Carl H. Eigenmann in 1894 as a subspecies of P. vivipara, Poecilia vivipara parae, with the type locality given as "Ditches of Rua das Mongubas of Pará, Brazil".[3] Carl Leavitt Hubbs used this species as the type species of the subgenus Micropoecilia,[4] which Fishbase recognises as a genus but does not include this species in it

Poecilia parae, especially the form melanozona, is a popular fish in the aquarium trade

Fourth Animal species of the day (350) :
Channel-billed cuckoo / (Scythrops novaehollandiae)

The channel-billed cuckoo (Scythrops novaehollandiae) is a species of cuckoo in the family Cuculidae. It is monotypic within the genus Scythrops.[3] The species is the largest brood parasite in the world, and the largest cuckoo

It is found in Australia, New Guinea and Indonesia; additionally, it is vagrant in New Caledonia and New Zealand. The species is migratory over part of its range. There are three subspecies, one migratory, the other two resident. The species is listed as least concern by the IUCN.

The only member of the genus Scythrops, the species is most closely related to the long-tailed cuckoo (Urodynamis taitensis), which breeds in New Zealand and winters in the Pacific islands, according to Sorenson and Payne (2005).[12]
"Channel-billed cuckoo" has been designated as the official common name for the species by the International Ornithologists' Union (IOC).[10] Latham gave it the name "channel-bill" after a groove in its upper mandible

The world's largest cuckoo, the channel-billed cuckoo measures between 56–70 cm (22–28 in) long, with a 88–107 cm (35–42 in) wingspan, and weighing between 560–935 g (1.235–2.061 lb).[13] 24 adults were found to have averaged 684 g (1.508 lb) in body mass.[14] According to a manual on avian body masses, another species of cuckoo, the buff-headed coucal, may have a mean body mass some 11% higher than the channel-billed cuckoo.[14] The bill is bi-coloured, with a grey base becoming straw-coloured at the tip. The bill is large slightly curved and reminiscent of the bills of hornbills; in fact, the bird is sometimes erroneously referred to as a hornbill

The juvenile is similar to the adult but has pale tips to the feathers of the wings, and the rest of the plumage is buff instead of pale grey. The bill is less massive and dirty pink in colour, and the skin around the eye is not red.

After the breeding season, in March and April, birds breeding in Australia begin to migrate northwards to their wintering grounds in New Guinea and Indonesia. Birds breeding in New South Wales begin leaving earlier, in February and March.[19] The migration route is across the Torres Strait, travelling individually or in small groups. From New Guinea they migrate across the nearby islands as far as Timor and the Moluccas. It is not known if the species breeds in New Guinea, as some birds are present there all year. Migrating channel-billed cuckoos begin to return to Australia in August and September

The channel-billed cuckoo is often shy, remaining hidden in tree canopies feeding on fruit and most active in early morning and evening. Its loud raucous call makes it more often heard than seen. Other birds such as crows harass and chase it when they encounter it.[13]Miner birds and crows and some other species also swoop them

Channel-billed cuckoos are brood parasites; instead of raising their own young, they lay eggs in the nests of other birds. They are thought to form pair bonds for the duration of a breeding season.[20] Their mating behaviour has been described as involving calling and gift-giving, with the male presenting items of food such as insects to the female. Pairs also work together in order to aid the laying of eggs in host nests; the male will fly over the nest in order to provoke the nest occupants into a mobbing response, whereupon the female will slip into the nest and lay an egg. Alternatively the pair may work together by attacking an incubating bird, driving it off the nest and allowing the female to lay.

First Animal species of the day (351) :
Asian water monitor / (Varanus salvator)

The Asian water monitor (Varanus salvator) is a large varanid lizard native to South and Southeast Asia. It is widely considered to be the second-largest lizard species, after the Komodo dragon. It is distributed from eastern and northeastern India and Bangladesh, the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Sri Lanka, through southern China and Hainan Island in the east to mainland Southeast Asia and the islands of Sumatra, Borneo, Java, Lombok, the Riau Archipelago, Sulawesi. It is one of the most widespread monitor lizards.

The Asian water monitor has a natural affinity towards water, inhabiting the surroundings of lakes, rivers, ponds, swamps and various riparian habitats, including sewers, city parks, and urban waterways. It is an excellent swimmer and hunts fish, frogs, invertebrates, water birds, and other types of aquatic and amphibious prey. Due to its apparently large, stable population, it is currently listed as Least Concern on to the IUCN Red List.

The Asian water monitor is dark brown or blackish with yellow spots on the underside that fade gradually with age. It has blackish bands with yellow edges extending back from each eye. Its body is muscular, with long, powerful, laterally compressed tails. Its scales are keeled; the ones on top of the head are larger than those on the back. Its neck is long and the snout elongated. It has powerful jaws, serrated teeth and sharp claws

Adults rarely exceed 1.5–2 m (4 ft 11 in – 6 ft 7 in) in length, but the largest specimen on record from Sri Lanka measured 3.21 m (10.5 ft). A common mature weight is 19.5 kg (43 lb)

In captivity, Asian water monitors' life expectancy has been determined to be anywhere between 11 and 25 years depending on conditions, in the wild it is considerably shorter

The Asian water monitor is semiaquatic and opportunistic; it inhabits a variety of natural habitats though predominantly resides in primary forests and mangrove swamps. It has been noted that it is not deterred from living in areas near human civilization. In fact, it has been known to adapt and thrive in agricultural areas as well as cities with canal systems, such as in Sri Lanka, where they are not hunted or persecuted. Habitats that are considered to be most important are mangrove vegetation, swamps, wetlands, and elevations below 1,000 m (3,300 ft).

Water monitors defend themselves using their tails, claws, and jaws. They are excellent swimmers, using the raised fin on their tails to steer through water. When encountering smaller prey items, the water monitor will subdue it in its jaws and proceed to violently thrash its neck, destroying the prey's organs and spine which leaves it dead or incapacitated. The lizard will then swallow it whole. In dominantly aquatic habitats, their semiaquatic behavior is considered to provide a measure of safety from predators

Loss of habitat and hunting has exterminated water monitors from most of mainland India. In other areas they survive despite being hunted, due in part to the fact that larger ones, including large females that breed large numbers of eggs, have tough skins that are not desirable

Second Animal species of the day (352) :
Saiga antelope / (Saiga tatarica)

The saiga antelope (/ˈsaɪɡə/, Saiga tatarica), or saiga, is a species of antelope which during antiquity inhabited a vast area of the Eurasian steppe, spanning the foothills of the Carpathian Mountains in the northwest and Caucasus in the southwest into Mongolia in the northeast and Dzungaria in the southeast. During the Pleistocene, it ranged across the mammoth steppe from the British Isles to Beringia. Today, the dominant subspecies (S. t. tatarica) only occurs in Kalmykia and Astrakhan Oblast of Russia and in the Ural, Ustyurt and Betpak-Dala regions of Kazakhstan. A portion of the Ustyurt population migrates south to Uzbekistan and occasionally to Turkmenistan in winter. It is regionally extinct in Romania, Ukraine, Moldova, China and southwestern Mongolia. The Mongolian subspecies (S. t. mongolica) occurs only in western Mongolia.

The saiga stands 61–81 cm (24–32 in) at the shoulder, and weighs 26–69 kg (57–152 lb). The head-and-body length is typically between 100 and 140 cm (39 and 55 in). A prominent feature of the saiga is the pair of closely spaced, bloated nostrils directed downward. Other facial features include the dark markings on the cheeks and the nose, and the 7–12 cm (2.8–4.7 in) long ears

The coat shows seasonal changes. In summer, the coat appears yellow to red, fading toward the flanks. The Mongolian saiga can develop a sandy colour. The coat develops a pale, grayish-brown colour in winter, with a hint of brown on the belly and the neck. The ventral parts are generally white. The hairs, that measure 18–30 mm (0.71–1.18 in) long in summer, can grow as long as 40–70 mm (1.6–2.8 in) in winter. This forms a 12 to 15 cm (4.7 to 5.9 in) long mane on the neck. Two distinct moults

Saigas form very large herds that graze in semideserts, steppes, grasslands, and possibly open woodlands, eating several species of plants, including some that are poisonous to other animals. They can cover long distances and swim across rivers, but they avoid steep or rugged areas. The mating season starts in November, when stags fight for the acceptance of females. The winner leads a herd of five to ten females (occasionally up to 50).[2] In springtime, mothers come together in mass to give birth.[18] Two-thirds of births are twins; the remaining third of births are single calves

Saigas have been a target of hunting since prehistoric ages, when hunting was an essential means to acquire food. Saigas' horns, meat, and skin have commercial value and are exported from Kazakhstan.
Saiga horn, known as Cornu Antelopis, is one of the main ingredients in traditional Chinese medicine that is used as an extract or powder additive to the elixirs, ointments, and drinks. Saiga horn's value is equal to rhinoceros horn, whose trade was banned in 1993. Cornu Antelopis is thought to be a cheaper substitute of rare rhino horn in most TCM recipes

Since Jurassic 7 is now filming and Jurassic park survival is being made what would everyone want to see in these things .

Personally I would like a full grown dilophosaurus in the next movie or game as it would be really cool,

it’s was confirmed by Stan Winston and Steven Spielberg in the 90’s that the individual in the first Jurassic park movie was not a adult and was in fact a juvenile as proven by this video: https://youtu.be/-aC-n4Ylju4?si=T4eq7VZ_Hht20mqe

because it is

in the novel, the dilophosaurus was an adult form, being above the height of a man

[modest isle]

Same with Allosaurus in Jurassic World fallen kingdom are a juvenile specimens

While the ones we see in Jurassic World Dominion are Adult Allosaurus individuals

[copper nexus]

I hope universal gives us an adult because the video of stan stating it was a juvenile has been around since the making of the lost world

It is the best opportunity for them to add one in Jurassic park survival

First Animal species of the day (353) :
Black-footed ferret / (Mustela nigripes)

The black-footed ferret (Mustela nigripes), also known as the American polecat[4] or prairie dog hunter,[5] is a species of mustelid native to central North America.

The black-footed ferret is roughly the size of a mink and is similar in appearance to the European polecat and the Asian steppe polecat. It is largely nocturnal and solitary, except when breeding or raising litters.[6][7] Up to 90% of its diet is composed of prairie dogs.

The species declined throughout the 20th century, primarily as a result of decreases in prairie dog populations and sylvatic plague. It was declared extinct in 1979, but a residual wild population was discovered in Meeteetse, Wyoming in 1981.[10] A captive-breeding program launched by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service resulted in its reintroduction into eight western US states, Canada, and Mexico from 1991 to 2009. As of 2015, over 200 mature individuals are in the wild across 18 populations, with four self-sustaining populations in South Dakota, Arizona, and Wyoming.[1][11] It was first listed as "endangered" in 1982, then listed as "extinct in the wild" in 1996 before being upgraded back to "endangered" in the IUCN Red List in 2008

The black-footed ferret has a long, slender body with black outlines on its paws, ears, parts of its face and its tail. The forehead is arched and broad, and the muzzle is short. It has few whiskers, and its ears are triangular, short, erect and broad at the base. The neck is long and the legs short and stout. The toes are armed with sharp, very slightly arched claws. The feet on both surfaces are covered in hair, even to the soles, thus concealing the claws

Males measure 500–533 millimetres (19.7–21.0 in) in body length and 114–127 millimetres (4.5–5.0 in) in tail length, thus constituting 22–25% of its body length. Females are typically 10% smaller than males.[15] It weighs 650–1,400 grams (1.43–3.09 lb)

The black-footed ferret is solitary, except when breeding or raising litters.[6][7] It is nocturnal[6][21] and primarily hunts for sleeping prairie dogs in their burrows.[22] It is most active above ground from dusk to midnight and 4 am to mid-morning.[9] Aboveground activity is greatest during late summer and early autumn when juveniles become independent.[9] Climate generally does not limit black-footed ferret activity,[7][9] but it may remain inactive inside burrows for up to 6 days at a time during winter

Up to 90% of the black-footed ferret's diet is composed of prairie dogs.[8][9] The remaining 10% of their diet is composed of small rodents, and lagomorphs.[26] Their diet varies depending on geographic location. In western Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, and Montana, black-footed ferrets are historically associated with white-tailed prairie dogs and were forced to find alternative prey when white-tailed prairie dogs entered their four-month hibernation cycle.[21] In Wyoming, alternative prey items consumed during white-tailed prairie dog hibernation included voles (Microtus spp.) and mice (Peromyscus and Mus spp.) found near streams. In South Dakota, black-footed ferrets associate with black-tailed prairie dogs. Because black-tailed prairie dogs do not hibernate, little seasonal change in black-footed ferret diet is necessary

Second Animal species of the day (354) :
European flounder / (Platichthys flesus)

The European flounder (Platichthys flesus) is a flatfish of European coastal waters from the White Sea in the north to the Mediterranean and the Black Sea in the south. It has been introduced into the United States and Canada accidentally through transport in ballast water. It is caught and used for human consumption.

The European flounder is oval in shape and is usually right-eyed. It normally grows about 30 cm in length, although lengths of up to 60 cm have been recorded. The upper surface is usually dull brown or olive in colour with reddish spots and brown blotches and this fish can change colour to suit its background, providing an effective camouflage. The underside is pearly-white, giving the fish one of its common names, the white fluke. The lateral line features rows of small tubercles, as do the bases of the dorsal and anal fins.

[crimson marlin]

Ferret

[modest isle]

The fish is flattened laterally and swims and rests on one side. During development, its eyes usually migrate to the right side of the fish and what appears to be its upper surface is in reality its right side. In about thirty percent of individuals, its eyes move to the left and the left side becomes uppermost. The fish has a small mouth at the end of its bluntly pointed snout. The upper surface is fawn, olive green or pale brown with spots and larger patches of darker brown and some irregular reddish spots.

the head to beside the caudal peduncle. It has no dorsal spines but has between 53 and 62 soft rays. The anal fin also runs the length of the body and has no spines and 37 to 46 soft rays. The skin is rough, with prickly tubercles at the base of the dorsal and anal fins, and there are large scales beside the lateral line. The caudal peduncle is about half the length of the tail and the caudal fin has a squared-off end

The European flounder can also be found in estuaries where it is tolerant of low salinity levels and, unlike other species of Pleuronectidae, it often spends part of its life cycle in freshwater and regularly makes its way into rivers. In the British Isles, it has been found as far inland as Montgomeryshire on the River Severn, Dinas Mawddwy on the River Dovey and Garstang on the River Wyre. Unlike the Atlantic salmon, it feeds in the rivers and makes its way out to sea again before spawning

The European flounder is assessed by the IUCN in their Red List of Threatened Species as being of "Least Concern". This is because it has a large population size and extensive range, and is common in nearly all parts of its range. Numbers of fish may be decreasing somewhat but not to the extent that would warrant listing it under a higher risk category.[1] However, in portions of the Baltic Sea, changes in the environment have resulted in steadily receding breeding grounds for the European flounder; in some places such as the Gulf of Finland, the European flounder has been nearly completely extirpated, leaving the Baltic flounder as the predominant species

First Animal species of the day (355) :
Giant Arapaima / (Arapaima gigas)

Arapaima gigas, also known as pirarucu or simply arapaima,[3] is a species of arapaima native to the basin of the Amazon River. Once believed to be the sole species in the genus, it is among the largest freshwater fish. The species is an obligate air breather, so it needs to come to the surface regularly to breathe air.

The species is among the largest known freshwater fish, commonly measuring 200 cm (79 in) and reportedly exceptionally reaching lengths of up to 450 cm (15 ft). Adults may weigh up to 200 kg (440 lb).[5] A. gigas has a streamlined body with dorsal and anal fins set well back towards the tail. While the body is mainly gray to gray-green, its Brazilian local name pirarucu derives from an indigenous word for "red fish", thought to refer to either the red flecks on the scales towards the tail, or the reddish-orange color of its meat

[digital sleet]

damn is that a fish

[modest isle]

The fish have "flexible, armor-like scales" made up of "a hard, mineralized outer layer" and "a tough-but-flexible inner layer" that help protect it from attacks by piranhas.

Armored Fish !!!!!!

A. gigas is native to freshwater in the basin of the Amazon River; it is known to occur in Bolivia, Brazil, Guyana, and Peru.[5][1] In Bolivia known as paiche, it is considered an invasive species, affecting local native species and the ecosystem. It was first found in 1976,[7] and presumably introduced from Peru being washed out of a Peruvian fish farm by a flood.

The species has been introduced to parts of East Asia, both for fishing purposes and accidentally.[3] The fish are found in flooded forest areas where they reproduce during the wet season; they relocate to lakes after water levels drop

A 13-million-year-old fossil of arapaima (or very similar species) has been found in Colombia, in the Villavieja Formation, which dates from the Miocene epoch

Morphology changes occur as A. gigas undergoes the transition from water-breather to air-breather 8–9 days after hatch.[11] During the transition to air-breathing, the structure of the gills changes, making them better adapted for ion absorption, but less able to undergo gas diffusion. Once developmental changes in the gills take place, the lamella is less recognizable. The adult gills are made up of smooth, column-shaped filaments, instead

A. gigas requires breathing surface air to supplement the oxygen it derives from the use of its gills, and as such, is dependent on surfacing every 5–15 minutes to loudly gulp air at the surface. As in other species in the genus, a modified swim bladder that contains lung-like tissue is used for this purpose.
The species primarily feeds on fish, although juveniles prefer insects and fish larvae until fully grown. They also consume birds, mammals, fruits, and seeds on the water surface.

Spawning occurs in lakes and river channels during the time of low water levels (August to March).

The species has in the past been heavily impacted by overfishing, exacerbated by their easily exploited habit of surfacing regularly for air-gulping. The IUCN is currently not assigning a conservation status to A. gigas due to a lack of detailed information about population developments.[3] Arapaima fishing was banned outright in Brazil from 1996 to 1999, due to declining populations; since then, both subsistence and commercial fishing have been permitted in specially designated areas, and a sophisticated sustainable management strategy has led to massive recovery of stocks, from 2,500 in 1999 to over 170,000 in 2017

First Animal species of the day (356) :
Sandbar shark / (Carcharhinus plumbeus)

The sandbar shark (Carcharhinus plumbeus), also known as the brown shark or thickskin shark, is a species of requiem shark, and part of the family Carcharhinidae, native to the Atlantic Ocean and the Indo-Pacific. It is distinguishable by its very high first dorsal fin and interdorsal ridge.[2] It is not to be confused with the similarly named sand tiger shark, or Carcharias taurus.

The sandbar shark is one of the largest “”coastal sharks”” in the world, and is closely related to the dusky shark, the bignose shark, and the bull shark. Its dorsal fin is triangular and very high, and it has very long pectoral fins. Sandbar sharks usually have heavy-set bodies and rounded snouts that are shorter than the average shark's snout. Its upper teeth have broadly uneven cusps with sharp edges. Its second dorsal fin and anal fin are close to the same height.

Females can grow to 2–2.5 m (6.6–8.2 ft), males up to 1.8 m (5.9 ft). The maximum recorded weight is 240 kg (530 lb).[3] Female sandbar sharks have an average fork-length (tip of the nose to fork in the tail) of 154.9 cm with the males' average fork-length being 151.6 cm.[4] Its body color can vary from a blue-ish brown, grey or bronze, with a white or pale underside. Sandbar sharks swim alone or gather in sex-segregated schools that vary in size.

swims in deeper waters (200 m or more) as well as intertidal zones. Sandbar sharks are found in tropical to temperate waters worldwide; in the western Atlantic they range from Massachusetts to Brazil. Juveniles are common to abundant in the lower Chesapeake Bay, and nursery grounds are found from Delaware Bay to South Carolina. Other nursery grounds include Bonjuk Bay

Natural predators of the sandbar shark include the tiger shark and, rarely, great white sharks.
The sandbar shark itself preys on fish, rays, crabs, and molluscs.[7] They have also been found to primaily consume osteichthyes, or bony fish, octopi, european squid, and cuttlefish when in areas such as the Mediterranean or the Gulf of Gabés.[8] Sandbar sharks have been described as being a top predator in their ecosystem's food chain

There are disagreements about when exactly sandbar sharks reach sexual maturity, but most studies conclude that females reach sexual maturity around 13 years of age, while males tend to reach maturity around age 12 years old

The longevity of the sandbar shark is typically 35–41 years.

In spite of their large size and similar appearance to other dangerous sharks such as bull sharks, sandbar sharks are not considered to be dangerous to people. Very few, if any attacks are attributed to sandbar sharks. As a result, they are considered one of the safest sharks to swim with and are popular sharks for aquariam

The New Zealand Department of Conservation has classified the sandbar shark as "Data Deficient" under the New Zealand Threat Classification System

First Animal species of the day (357) :
Rainbow parrotfish / (Scarus guacamaia)

The rainbow parrotfish (Scarus guacamaia) is a species of fish in the family Scaridae and are a spectacular group of primarily herbivorous fish that thrive in lush coral reef habitats. There are currently about 80 parrotfish species known to science, with some reaching four feet in length as adults. At this point, you may be wondering what makes these critters so special. Jump on in and learn just five of the fascinating facts that make our ocean’s parrotfish so curiously captivating.

S. guacamaia is among the largest members of its family, and the largest in the Atlantic, reaching 1.2 m (3.9 ft) in length, 20 kg in weight and a maximum age of 16 years. It has a greenish-brown overall colouration; the fins are dull orange with tongues of green. Its dental plates are blue-green. Sexes appear alike

Parrotfish are named for their resemblance to their land-residing counterparts, thanks to their unmistakable beaks. They have these beaks so that they can easily chomp down on dead corals and rocks! They primarily eat the algae that cover hard structures on the reef, and their tough beaks are what enable them to eat these favorite snacks.

The rainbow parrotfish has a relatively wide distribution in the western Atlantic, and can be found from Bermuda through South Florida, the Bahamas and the Caribbean to Venezuela. It inhabits coral reefs, mangroves and sea grass beds in shallow waters, at depths of 3–25 m

S. guacamaia is primarily a detritivore, feeding on detritus, bacterial colonies and meiofauna but also taking sponges. Young fish appear to recruit mostly to mangroves

While a parrotfish’s teeth may not appear particularly hearty at first glance, they are some of the strongest chompers in the world. These teeth are made up of one of the strongest biominerals in the world: fluorapatite. They’re not only harder than silver or gold but can also withstand a lot of pressure—a pressure equivalent to the weight of more than 80 elephants, according to the Smithsonian. They’ve got a whole lot of those strong teeth, too. Every parrotfish has approximately 15 rows of 1,000 teeth fused together into a shape that forms the trademark beak they use to consume their favorite coral snacks. But I’d be remiss if I didn’t acknowledge another bizarrely incredible fact about the diets of these fish…

S. guacamaia was formerly classified as vulnerable due to overfishing and habitat loss, but because the presently available data do not allow an estimate of the population decline, it is now considered near threatened by the IUCN. It is relatively rare in most of its range, but more common in Bermuda. The rainbow parrotfish is widely harvested in subsistence fisheries in many parts of the Caribbean

Second Animal species of the day (358) :
Neon tetra / (Paracheirodon innesi)

The neon tetra (Paracheirodon innesi) is a freshwater fish of the characin family (family Characidae) of order Characiformes. The type species of its genus, it is native to blackwater and clearwater streams in the Amazon basin of South America.[2][3] Its bright colouring makes the fish visible to conspecifics in the dark blackwater streams

The neon tetra is found in the western and northern Amazon basin in southeastern Colombia, eastern Peru, and western Brazil.[2][3] It lives in waters with a temperature between 20 and 28 °C (68–82 °F) and pH 4–7.5.[2][3] It has a preference for acidic blackwater streams, but also occurs in transparent clearwater streams.

The neon tetra has a light-blue back over a silver-white abdomen. The fish is characterized by an iridescent blue horizontal stripe along each side of the fish from its nose to the base of the adipose fin, and an iridescent red stripe that begins at the middle of the body and extends posteriorly to the base of the caudal fin. The fish is partially transparent (including fins) except for these markings. Sexual dimorphism is slight, with the female having a slightly larger belly, and a bent iridescent stripe rather than the male's straight stripe. During the night, the blue and red become gray or black as the fish rests. It reactivates once it becomes active in the morning.

This peculiar change is due to the neon tetras capacity to change the color of its iridescent stripe in response to lighting conditions. In a light-adapted state it is blue-green, likewise in a dark-adapted state its color changes to indigo. This change is produced by guanine crystals in their cells that reflect light. The neon tetra grows to approximately 4 cm (1.5 in) in overall length

The male is slender, and the blue line is straighter. The female is rounder, producing a bent blue line. Some aquarists say the females look plumper when viewed from above. However, the straightness of the line and the plumpness of the female might occasionally be due to the eggs she is carrying. A neon tetra can appear slightly plump in the belly due to having overeaten.

Breeding neon tetras is considered to be difficult in home aquariums.[23] However, it is becoming more common, with less than 5% of specimens currently sold in America caught in the wild, and more than 1.5 million specimens imported to America each month from fish farms

The green neon tetra (P. simulans) and black neon tetra (Hyphessobrycon herbertaxelrodi) are distinct species—the latter belongs to a different genus—and not color varieties. The cardinal tetra (P. axelrodi) is also a similar species, but its greater extent of red coloring distinguishes it from the neon tetra.

Overall this one of the most peaceful fish in the world good for community tanks

it was horrible but at least my first fish I had lived a full 7 years

Not cleaning the tank regularly probably helped it live so long

[modest isle]

They use all of their energy into taking care of the cats and dogs

And ignoring the fish 🐟

[hallow parrot]

😔

[sullen merlin]

They dont care cuz pretty much no one can determine if a fish is sick when looking at it once.Thats much easier with dogs and cats so they have to keep them healthy for business reasons

I doubt the staff can lol

[modest isle]

True they are business after all

No wonder why when i buy a guppy and bring it home it start becoming more colorful

Even though they were still not in a bad condition in the store but i do see some dead tankmates, like why dont they remove the dead ones it will lower the water quality

[full patrol]

Woo! Cardinal tetras let's goooo!!!

[lone star]

nuhuh

[full patrol]

Coming from someone who used to work at a pet store, where I worked we removed dead fish right away.

The fish come from suppliers, sometimes the suppliers are responsible if they're like small breeders but the really big chain store fish and animal suppliers tend to focus more on quantity over quality.

Ontop of that, even the most healthy and well bred fish become stressed and potentially sick or die from shipping. Then they get thrown into a new area and are sold, bagged again, and brought home. It's a pretty stressful process for the fish resulting in more deaths.

Popular selling fish or fish that are easy to breed like live bearers can be very low quality because of mass inbreeding due to demand.

When I'm looking for fish, I try to go to my "local" specialty fish store or if I have to, I go to the local pet store the day before they get new fish in so I can be more sure that the fish I'm getting is healthy and less likely to die in a couple days because I got sick over shipping and wasn't showing symptoms yet

[full patrol]

If you know how fish display illness symptons it's actually pretty to tell if a fish is sick or stressed. It's all in their behavior and coloring

If a fish is sick to the point of needing medication, it's even easier to tell because they'll have noticeable physical signs like tattered fins, red sores, fungus, cloudy eyes, inflamed gills, parasites, etc

Ngl having owned many dogs and fish, I'd say it's easier to tell your fish is sick than your dog x)

[sullen merlin]

Ye but i was more so talking about the general customer passing by in the store. Assuming that most of them dont know this

[full patrol]

Oh ya the general public won't know a fish is sick unless it's showing severe symptoms
