Something weird is going on with these Dwarf Waspfish. I have had a pair for a few years, and for most of that time, they hid in caves in the back and very rarely came to the front. They were very hard to feed, as they were too shy and never did both of them venture to the front at the same time.
I had to target feed them, and each one would only eat about once a week
Now both of them stay in the front and will eat almost every time I feed them. I give them pieces of clam and live earthworms, and they will suck the food right out of the baster thing I made. They actually bite the thing when I put it near them.
Normally my other fish, especially my filefish will steal the food instantly, but now they push him away and get the food.
I think they are going to spawn but I am not sure.

Here is a picture of my one ounce reef. It has vodka dosing, heater, undergravel filter, air pump, ozone, and an incandescent plant light.
Water changes are one drop a week. Right now it has nuisance romaine lettuce so I may have to add another pod.
CUC is one female pod and the livestock is a seahorse but he can only keep his snout in the water, but thats all any fish really needs.

Im not sure how long I will keep my tank going. My wife is declining every day and we go to more and more doctors and PT people. This Monday we have two to go to.
Due to this my time is very limited. I am looking into a devics that lifts patients from the floor when they fall and their are many. I hope to order one today.
This bryopsis or whatever type of algae is taking over my reef. I have a 5 gallon set up and I am using Fluconazole as a test. Tomorrow is two weeks and I don't see anything dying yet.
If I get time, I may try something else but I will first let this stuff go for another week. If that doesn't work, I may test something else. I will see.

I am looking for a high hiking boot because I am having an ankle issue due to breaking my leg and ankle many years ago and it filled with arthritis. I don't want to stop my morning walks because I do that for health, but it is getting increasingly difficult due to this.
I already had cortisone shots in the ankle but it didn't do much as it is too far gone. Besides this small affliction, I am in perfect working condition and most of me works perfectly.
I have 2 other hiking boots but I need something that goes over my ankle.
Something like this:
Those are almost perfect but I think they are from China so I won't buy them. It doesn't say where they are made so i know they are not made in the USA.
If I can find something similar I will get them. There is a pair of very similar, American boots that keep popping up as an advertisement but that ad disappears in 30 seconds and there is no where on the ad to order them. But I will keep trying.
