Last night, I took my Bride to one of our favorite seafood restaurants on the east end of Long Island.
It's not on the water, but over the water as the surf goes right under the place.
This guy is 34 and his mate is a couple of years younger. :D They have never been quarantined, medicated, spoken to, observed, de-wormed or anything else. And still spawning like bunnies.
Good Morning. We spent a couple of days at our Daughters on The Hudson River in Nyack. These are from her living room this morning. These pictures are untouched and how they came out of my phone.
I still have one culture going, (I think). I will see in an hour or so. If they are still alive. I will add half of them to a new culture.
In my still alive culture, there are thousands of worms but I didn't actually count them. :D
My fish depend on these things at least once a week for gut...
OOOOOohhhhhNNNooooo. CRASH.................
........No..not my reef, that would be silly and I run a reverse undergravel filter so it's state of the art.
My worm culture.
I have 2 white worm cultures and they are many years old. I have them in a cooler that you plug in like a picnic...

These guys also "may" be spawning, but I can't find their nest. Or maybe they are just trying to see who has the best stripe.. :cool:
These guys are also pretty old as one of them is from my last house and I have lived here for 6 years so one may be 10 or 12.
When they are young, the look...
OOOOhhhhh NNooo. I have way to many fish. Soon they will have to take turns putting their heads in the water. :(
I can't help it, if I see an interesting fish that I hardly, if ever see, I need it.
OMG. I have hair algae but no hair on my head. All my fish look great and want to spawn, but I...
