Fish keeping on a budget! No, I'm serious! Stop laughing! I'm not kidding!
I'm too broke to afford this hobby. I'm not even joking. My videos will follow my journey as I find workarounds by using budget items and doing diy projects while living in poverty. Don't feel sorry for me! Let's figure this out!

So... bingo, maybe? As some of you know, I'm doing an adults only bingo stream. I plan to do it weekly. I was thinking Tuesday evenings 6 pacific, 7 mountain, 8 central, and 9 eastern time. I have wiggle room on either side of that time, and the day isn't set in stone. I'm looking for opinions here. Let me know if that's a good time or if there's a better time slot that'll work for you.

So we did a little rough head count of our fish. Without counting my tiny second group of mahachaiensis fry and the numerous invertebrates in our tanks, we've got a rough (very conservative) count of our fish. We stopped counting at around 450... what's your body count? š

So we're gonna try another new time slot. Let's try Saturdays at 7 pm Pacific, 8 Mountain, 9 Central, or 10 Eastern standard time. That's my best effort! š

Hey guys! We'll be trying out a new day and time for Prime Time Fish Crime! This current time is a little harder to manage than we thought. So we're gonna try Tuesday nights, 6 pacific, 7 mountain time, 8 central, and 9 eastern standard time. I hope to see you guys there!

Heya guys!! Just wanted you to know that I don't plan to have a stream this weekend as usual. It's the Kentucky Bash thing, and everyone will probably be busy. Mel will be attending the bash, so she won't be here. All in all, I figured doing a stream at our usual time I'm Saturday would be pointless with everyone at the bash (except me!!!ššš) š. Have a great weekend, guys!

Guys, bad news. I'm going to have to reschedule PTFC. I'm in immense pain today, and I'm really not up for it. However, next Saturday is the Greatest Seattle Aquarium Society spring auction, and I plan to attend and live stream the whole thing! Don't miss it! As soon as I know when we're going, I'll schedule the live!!! Be on the lookout!

Guys! We've rescheduled the stream to tomorrow, the 5th. Apparently, there's an online fishy auction going on tonight, and I wouldn't want you guys to miss out on some new fishies. We BETTER see you tomorrow, though. No excuses!!!š¤£

Hey guys,
Rarely do I pick out a specific video and post about it, but this one... i LOVE this one. Rest assured, I had absolute creative control, and the only thing I had AI do is sing and play the music. But that may change as I'm looking to record it again with help from artist friends.
I think just no one is really seeing this video, and I really want to share it with you guys. It's just over 3 minutes. 3 minutes. That's all I ask. I'm very proud of it, and i would love to hear about it from your perspective. Please. Watch it.

Iām going to be really honestāthis is incredibly hard for me to post.
If youāre here to judge or leave something negative, please just scroll past. I donāt have the energy to defend myself right now.
For everyone else⦠I need help.
Iāve avoided asking for money for a long time. In fact, the only time Iāve ever asked before was for something directly related to the channel, and only after people encouraged me to. Iāve never wanted to be someone who constantly has their hand out.
But right now, Iām in a position where I donāt have another option.
Some of the ways I was making extra income are gone, and others became impossible after I got an infection from rescuing fish with fish TB (Mycobacterium marinum).
On top of that, my breeding and selling hasnāt scaled up yetāIām still in the process of building it into something sustainable.
I am working on fixing that. Iām organizing, streamlining, and doing everything I can to get to a place where the fish support themselves again.
But Iām not there yetāand I need help getting through this part.
I know some people will say ājust downsize,ā but if youāre a fish person, you know itās not that simple. My setups are part of how I survive financially through breedingāif I cut too much, I actually lose that ability.
So this is me asking, sincerely:
If youāve ever enjoyed my content, learned something, or just want to help me get through a really hard timeāplease consider sending even a small amount.
Every single dollar helps more than you know right now.

Thank you for hearing me out. Truly. This wasnāt easy to say.
Your TRULY Moneyless Maven,
Shirley Taylor
