Adam Ragusea @aragusea.bsky.social · 30/08/2026Quixotically entering my first aquascaping competition, trying to take the contest photo and remembering that being ok at video ≠ being good at photography. 5330
Adam Ragusea @aragusea.bsky.social · 13/08/2026It might not seem fun siphoning fine particulate matter into a bucket but wait until you see those particles arrange themselves into compact geometric shapes because science. 0270

Adam Ragusea @aragusea.bsky.social · 30/07/2026Magnificent animal. Looking for figs to eat that’ll make her poop weird. 3461
Adam Ragusea @aragusea.bsky.social · 29/07/2026Really coming into fruition, one of my “Dutch modernist” aquascapes! In time the grassy vallisneria in the back corner should grow much longer and kinda drape over the whole thing a bit, creating a more dappled light effect on the carpets underneath. And the red lily will get bigger. 4332
Adam Ragusea @aragusea.bsky.social · 26/07/2026My third attempt executing this basic plant design. It’s still young but I think it’s reached escape velocity! School of rummy nose tetras looking very yellow submarine. 2280
Adam Ragusea @aragusea.bsky.social · 04/07/2026Hanging plants drop down into the aquariums and put out roots. It’s like they’re drinking from both ends. Double fisting. 2301
Adam Ragusea @aragusea.bsky.social · 03/07/2026Was reading a news story about how opioid deaths are down in Knox County and I can’t stop thinking about this man’s incredible logical journey. 3340
Adam Ragusea @aragusea.bsky.social · 27/06/2026Better shot of him a few moments earlier but not quite out of the water yet. 0160
Adam Ragusea @aragusea.bsky.social · 27/06/2026I have an aquarium with a surface environment which means every now and then you get to see aquatic creatures briefly leave the water, and I always find it so surreal! Like somebody jumping out of the tv screen. You’re not supposed to be in this plane of existence! 6523
Adam Ragusea @aragusea.bsky.social · 26/06/2026I always think it’s especially pretty at this stage! 1480
Adam Ragusea @aragusea.bsky.social · 24/06/2026Shrimplets! Easier to see through the 5x camera than with the naked eye. Probably hatched two days ago. 2310
Adam Ragusea @aragusea.bsky.social · 21/06/2026The tiny crayfish mostly come out at night. Mostly. 0270
Adam Ragusea @aragusea.bsky.social · 21/06/2026I don’t think this is particularly remarkable behavior I just think it was pretty. 1170
Adam Ragusea @aragusea.bsky.social · 21/06/2026Checked the water table after dark and found a little male platy resting in the shallowest water possible, almost breaking the surface, with its belly on the stone underneath. Seems like a vulnerable place for a fish to be, but it’s very painterly! 1301
Adam Ragusea @aragusea.bsky.social · 17/06/2026I dunno, Whole Foods. If your food really doesn’t have any sodium in it then I’m not sure it’s actually food. 5524
Adam Ragusea @aragusea.bsky.social · 14/06/2026I’ve found it to be an ideal environment for dwarf Mexican crayfish. Shrimp do well but they instantly disappear forever. The only fish that thrive are hardy, ugly little livebearers. The temperature swings are too big for most. 120
Adam Ragusea @aragusea.bsky.social · 15/05/2026Definitely, if you walk on your tippy toes I can’t see you. My visual acuity is based on full footfalls. 25911
Adam Ragusea @aragusea.bsky.social · 25/04/2026Vernal ponds outside of Sacramento, California, looking like the Garden of Eden. 3333

Adam Ragusea @aragusea.bsky.social · 18/04/2026Some of the bees from yesterday’s bee truck crash on I-40 have taken refuge directly in front of the Knoxville zoo main entrance. Are they asking to be let in? 1281
Adam Ragusea @aragusea.bsky.social · 16/04/2026I have tasted the forbidden skeets and there’s no going back. 1553
Adam Ragusea @aragusea.bsky.social · 13/04/2026Three weeks growth, first trimming was five days ago. The Nymphoides hydrophylla on the top left is starting to shed old growth in favor of new, will prob look smaller before it looks (much) bigger. 0200
Adam Ragusea @aragusea.bsky.social · 10/04/2026A big bowl of Golden Grahams in milk with those firm mini marshmallows for cocoa sprinkled on top and a spoon. You have the technology. All you need is the will. 4491
Adam Ragusea @aragusea.bsky.social · 06/04/2026Two weeks of growth, time for first trimming soon. 1281
Adam Ragusea @aragusea.bsky.social · 03/04/2026Why yes I did sneak a Tolkien song lyric into my article in the aquascaping journal also mom I lost my retainer. 0121
Adam Ragusea @aragusea.bsky.social · 02/04/2026Cool, temporary scene in the seasonal mud flats along the Tennessee River in Knoxville. This flush of spring weeds will be underwater any day now. 1281
Adam Ragusea @aragusea.bsky.social · 31/03/2026Lotta green frogs, Lithobates clamitans (I presume), in the pond this year! 2484
Adam Ragusea @aragusea.bsky.social · 22/03/2026Behold, just finished planting the tub, successor to the trough. 8895
Adam Ragusea @aragusea.bsky.social · 15/03/202611-year-old asked for steak on a Saturday night and I believe I really delivered. 2681
Adam Ragusea @aragusea.bsky.social · 08/03/2026Ice cream shops were built for scooping. You get your scoop, you move your ass down the line, you pay. These increasingly elaborate beverages take forever to make and back up the whole line, which usually doesn’t have much of a spill-over zone. Tell Congress to keep Big Smoothie out of our parlors. 542334
Adam Ragusea @aragusea.bsky.social · 07/03/2026This aquascape isn’t three months old, and it’s already doing this, and it’s super stable. The smoothest launch of my life, by a mile. I may be getting the hang of this! 5290
