Łauma by KaeReL

A little girl, named Dorothy, moves from a big city to live in Łojmy, a small village situated in the heart of Suwałki Landscape Park. Although at first Dorothy and her family goes to Łojmy just to visit her grandmother, when they get to the place it turns out that the grandmother have died in suspicious circumstances. After the funeral, the family decides to stay in the village for good. They realise that they have not been happy living in a big city and the father decides that he wants to stay in the countryside.

Despite a few inconveniences, they start to enjoy living in a small cabin near the forest. 

And everything would be perfect if one time the father of Dorothy wouldn't kill the snake which was living in the cabin, under the dresser... 

This is how the comic book "Łauma" begins. The comic book, written by Karol "KaeReL" Kalinowski awarded by The International Festival of Comics and Games in Lódź as the best Polish comic book of the year. 

The comic book Łauma combines humour, fantastic elements and moments of true horror. And all of it is placed in a world surrounded by old beliefs and legends of Yotvingians.

One of many hobbies: aquarium

Lesson one:

The most important thing to start with is to set our aquarium in the right place. You should keep it out of the direct sunlight, in a peaceful corner of the room, so that people moving around it wouldn't scare the inhabitants. Of course there are many fish that look astonishing when they are in the direct sunlight, but when the tank is close to the window the possibility of algae growth rises. 

For beginners there is a strict advice not to buy any tanks lesser than 60 liters! The smaller ones are harder to keep in stability, and are not suitable for many species of aquarium fish. Of course if we want to own bigger and territorial fish that may be aggressive (such as most cichlids for example) the tank must be bigger. 

There are several types of aquarium filters you can choose from, all of which need to be cleaned on regular bases, with the “living” water from the tank, so that the bacteria living inside the filter do not perish, putting us back to the beginning, risking the life and health of our fish. From my experience the most practical and efficient type of filter is the external canister filter, which are a little more expensive, but you don’t have to clean them that often, and due to the size of their exterior, they provide the biggest setting for the nitrobacter. A canister filter is irreplaceable in larger tanks, but it is always good to have a back-up filter in case something goes wrong.
