So off to Trader Joe's I went... Some people on TikTok are using Trader Joe's Argentinian red shrimp in place of the langostino because they're a bit cheaper. I happen to be a huge fan of the red shrimp, and they are a staple in my freezer, so I heavily support the motion. I, however, wanted to try out the langostino.

5 Best Pet Fish For Your Aquarium, Ranked - Study Finds

Image
Two Betta fish (Photo by Worachat Sodsri on Unsplash) Whether a fish can be considered a companion is subjective. For some, the tranquil movements and vivid colors of fish swimming in an aquarium offer a sense of calm and connection. On the other hand, the lack of tactile interaction and a fish's inherent nature means they don't engage with their owners like a dog or cat would. Regardless, the best pet fish make for the perfect first pets that don't require any much demanding, hands-on care and teach responsibility to young children. Swimming in a fish bowl isn't quite the same as Nemo navigating the great barrier reef, but fish can provide a great sense of entertainment and relaxation. Which fish make the best pets? StudyFinds did the research, and we've created a list of the top five best pet fish that will take your aquarium to the next level. There are a few favorites on the list and some surprises as well, but it encompasses everything from beginner-fri

First look inside Aquatic Pets: quite possibly Wichita's largest fish store | Wichita By E.B. - Wichita By E.B.

Three years ago, I started my journey as a fish owner through Exotic Pets, so I was beyond excited when they opened their new store, Aquatic Pets . The new fish store, which could be the largest store in town dedicated to all things fish, can be found at 601 N. West Street in the former space that used to be Pet World. It's also the southwest corner of Central and West Street, across the street from the Dillons grocery store. This place has everything, including supplies, food, tanks, plants, lighting, and more fish than I've ever seen in one area. The grand opening day for Aquatic Pets was Monday, June 10 and there was a little line already for people waiting to check the place out. Walking inside was like seeing the city's closest thing to a full-blown Aquarium. This isn't your typical fish store either. While they sell some basic fish staples like guppies, mollies, and betas, they also carry various species that I couldn'

New Year's Day plunge at Newport's Lobster Bar honors Bonnie Kilroy - newportri.com

The Lobster Bar Restaurant in Newport will host its first annual Lobster Plunge on Jan. 1 to benefit a new foundation created in honor of the restaurant's late matriarch, Bonnie Kilroy. "This is the first event [for the foundation], so we're not really sure how it's going to go, but we hope it's a good time and everyone enjoys themselves," said Patrick Kilroy, Lobster Bar Restaurant owner and Bonnie's son. Polar plunges, or polar bear plunges, are popular annual winter events, often held on New Year's Day, where participants take a dip in chilly bodies of water. The Newport Polar Bears Club has hosted an annual Polar Plunge for the last 20 years at Easton's Beach in Newport to raise money for the Cranston-based nonprofit organization A Wish Come True. The Lobster Bar's polar plunge will take place at Bowen's Wharf, next to the restaurant. The plunge will start at 1 p.m. and will also feature a cannonball contest at 3 p.m. The $25 entry fee

Patterning Spring Bass in Maine - On The Water

Image
It's finally that time of year where the ice is gone and the bass are hungry again! Despite the early ice out, the spawn seems to be timing up fairly normal here in Maine. April was filled with a lot of big pre spawn fish being caught near islands or deep shorelines leading into spawning areas. Before the state mandated shut off in the month of May, many local tournaments were taking a 4-pound average to win. A jerkbait and other baitfish imitations seemed to be my productive lures with water temperatures ranging from 45-50 degrees. Early May has been filled with a lot of fish moving up to the shallows despite the inconsistent weather. With water temperatures in the mid to high 50's, the fish in some southern lakes have began to start the spawning process. Lots of fish in the 1- to 3-pound range are being caught with some bigger females mixed in. The bite has been much better on warmer and sunnier days, suggesting that the next stretch of nice weather will pull the remainin

Everything you need to know about Steve Irwin's wife Terri Irwin - Yahoo Lifestyle Australia

Who is Terri Irwin? Terri Irwin, widow of Steve 'The Crocodile Hunter' Irwin, is a conservationist, naturalist, author and owner of Australia Zoo. Born on July 24, 1964, she is originally from Oregon in the United States, but relocated to Australia in 1991 after meeting her future husband, Steve, while on holiday. The pair met while Terri was touring an animal rehabilitation centre – back home she ran her own rehab service called Cougar Country – and both have said it was "love at first sight." Steve and Terri were engaged after only four months and married eight months later, in 1992. Footage from their honeymoon would go on to become the basis for their first TV series together, The Crocodile Hunter, which launched Steve's career internationally and went on to be an enormous success in America. The couple have two children together, Bindi, born in 1998, and Robert, born 2003. Tragically, Steve was killed in 2006 after he was speared through the heart by a stingr
