Prepping For Aquashella - My First Fish Convention!



Hi, it’s A Gamer’s Wife, here with my last Wed post for a while. At the beginning of the year, I challenged myself to release two articles per week for the month of January as an experiment, and the conclusion is that I’m definitely not ready to increase my upload schedule permanently. :) So starting in February, I’m going back to my regular once-a-week Saturday releases that you can always expect.

For my selesai bonus post of January, I’m going to talk about my preparations for my first fish convention, Aquashella in Dallas. It looks like so much fun, and I really hope to learn a lot and come back with some cool swag. But I definitely have a few unique challenges since my channel is semi-anonymous and there’s sure to be a bunch of FishTubers and their fans there. So how do I keep my privacy while still enjoying myself?

First off, I’m probably not going to be wearing sunglasses inside the whole time, so inevitably my face will probably show up on camera somewhere. (True face reveal?!) Maybe what I’ll do is explore all the booths on my own first, catch some footage, and then by the end of the day, I’ll introduce myself to the FishTube booth and let come what may. I still don’t plan on sharing my real name, so I guess if you meet me in person… you can call me A Gamer’s Wife? AGW? Comment below if you have any suggestions.

Anyways, I happened to get Rachel O’Leary’s shrimp girl shirt for Christmas, thanks to my BFF! (It’s like she watches my video or something...) So now I have something for people to sign. But I heard Aquarium Co-Op usually gives away free shirts as well, so maybe I’ll be lucky enough to get one and see Cory McElroy (and his wife Katie!) in person.

I’m not sure who all is coming, but I know the King of DIY is holding a contest to bring a lucky fan to Aquashella, so you have until Feb 10, 2019 to make a video to enter (#not sponsored).

As an introvert, I’m kinda both excited and nervous about going, but Sean from pecktec told me whenever he starts feeling overwhelmed at conventions, he just grabs someone to film an impromptu interview. So, thanks for the advice, Sean!

Anyway, I know I’m not a big creator by any means and it’s probably a one in a million chance that I’ll meet someone who watches my videos, but if you see me, please come say hi! This is my first convention and I don’t know when I’ll be able to make another one, so I’d definitely love to meet y’all if I can. If you haven’t already, follow me on Instagram where I’ll be posting real-time updates at Aquashella. Take time to enjoy your aquariums and I’ll see you in the next article!

Axolotls are one of the messiest pets I’ve ever owned, so how do you keep their tank water nice and clear? Well, there's a lot of different reasons why your aquarium water may be cloudy, but if you have a pet axolotl, most likely it’s because of their poop! 💩 These cute little creatures can produce big ol’ brown logs that look like miniature dog turds.

The more volume you have, the more diluted the waste will be and the clearer the water. This advice can also be rephrased as “Don’t overstock your aquarium.” For example, I started off with ...

How To Raise Cory Catfish Fry

Apparently your cory catfish have been, ahem, gettin’ busy, and there are white little eggs all over your glass. Babies! So what in the world do you do now? Keep reading to learn everything you need to know about raising corydoras fry. How to Breed Cory Catfish Okay, for most of you, breeding corydoras was probably an accident, but here’s what you can do to encourage it. For me, I had a 20 gallon tank with 6 adult-sized albino cory catfish (to increase my chances of having enough males and females). To get them in the mood, condition them by feeding lots of good food, and then do some water changes with fresh water a few degrees cooler than normal. Next thing you know, everyone’s gettin’ frisky, the males are chasing the females and doing the T-shaped mating position, and then the female lays sticky eggs on any ol’ flat surface around.

They come from high altitude freshwater lakes in Mexico City, but there’s not a lot of isu how on what the water quality used to be like because nowadays the large lakes have been reduced to narrow canals and have been affected by pollution and runoff. Comparison of axolotl habitat in 1500's versus 2000's (modified from Places Journal ) However, I did find a veterinary article titled Water Quality Explained: How It Can Affect...
