 Four paintings I did in September,2021. The first one is two egg-laying (called spawning) Common Clownfish (Amphiprion Ocellaris).



They both are spawning in a cave under their home sea anemone. The female tends the eggs. And the male waits in the background. This painting is done with colour pencils.

The next painting is a coconut tree in the beach.




  this is done with pastel.

The next painting is an Adult Red-vented Bulbul (Pycnonotus cafer) feeding its chicks.



 The adults have built the nest in a garden full of trees. This painting is done with colour pencils too.

The last painting is a stamp of a White-faced Starling (Sturnus Senex).




I did this painting in September too. This one too is done with colour pencils.

I did one today (October 3 2021) too. following is that painting.



It is a male Orange Migrant butterfly (Catopsilia Scylla) on a small plant. This butterfly belongs to the family Pieridae. This one is done with colour pencils too.

down to the oceans

                    down to the oceans    This time am going to write about four more oceanic features. Continental shelf This a gently sloping area that borders a continent. It extends offshore from almost nothing to 1000 miles wide and about 180 meters deep. Continental slope This a very steep slope that drops down from the continental shelf. It could be 12 miles wide and 10000 feet deep. Abbysal plane   This is the most level surface of planet Earth. If sediment collects over the rough parts of the ocean floor we call it an abbysal plane. Mid ocean ridges these are continuous mountain chains that can be found in every big ocean. They represent more than 20 percent of Earth’s surface.   (photos are from internet) And with that, I complete DOWN TO THE OCEANS. please keep visiting my blog.

KEEPING AN OUTDOOR FISH POND -3

  KEEPING AN OUTDOOR FISH POND -3                   Today I will post the last part of keeping an outdoor fish  pond.   Breeding fishes in the pond Fish such as Fighter fish ( Betta Splendens ) will happily spawn in a good pond. So if you would like to spawn one of these, provide a male with several females (he will choose one and spawn). I have written about spawning this fish in another post. ( Life of a fighter fish ). You can read that to know more. Livebearers will very easily spawn, even without you knowing. Young of these can be kept in the pond and they will grow to adults. Fish such as Gouramies might spawn as well. This is quite rare. They will collect various materials and make a shade like nest. It is best to separate the big-mouthed fish so that the eggs or fry are not eaten. juvenile mollies and Betta fish (bred in the pond)   Ill fishes When a fish is ill, separate it in a different place with no plants, as the medications you add might harm the plants.

KEEPING AN OUTDOOR FISH POND -2

    Keeping an outdoor fish pond -2 last day I posted how to keep an outdoor pond  and I am continuing it.  Adding fishes In a new pond, you will have to wait until its substrate has settled down well. When the water is clear fishes can be added. Make sure to add hardy fishes (not delicate fishes like Discus, Angelfish etc.) I have written some names and photos of fishes that can be added to a pond in the end of this post. Maintaining Maintaining a fish pond is easier than maintaining a fish tank, as it is not needed to clean out the water regularly. Also it will be okay to not feed them for a few days (in a pond that has algae growth), as they will find enough food in the pond itself. If invasive plant species start growing in the pond remove them at once. The plants will grow okay as the decaying materials (rotting leaves, fish waste) will provide them as fertilizer and will get sunlight directly from the sun.   Feeding The fishes can be fed with fish food pellets/ flakes
