THE SHADOW MOUNTAINS //

The Shadow Mountains is a continuous microcosm of life, moving from glass box to glass box, city to city, dwelling to dwelling, and somehow only getting better.

A freshwater aquarium ecosystem I began in 2019, it has since its inception flourished in:


20 gallons.


44 gallons.


75 gallons in an awesome apartment.


And 75 gallons in an okay house.

  • One small Bosemani Rainbow? | Maybe I should name it. I should at the very least get more. (Melanotaenia Boesemani)

    • Can you spot them all?
