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...

And fat. :biggrin:

About half of an Italian Pastry shop on Arthur Ave in the Bronx. I could live in there if I want to be 300lbs in a week.

Right now I am using my DIY diatom filter to clean out the gravel over my reverse Undergravel filter and blow out detritus in rock. The fish are loving it.

Thats great. But if you want to to go Arthur Ave. you have to go 70 miles west because thats in the Bronx and I am on eastern Long Island. :biggrin:

Yesterday we took our yearly trip about 77 miles to Arthur Ave. In the Bronx. It is the only Italian neighborhood left in New York and maybe the east coast. Our Daughter graduated from Fordham University so we used to go there often as it is walking distance from there. We went with 8 friends...

Good morning. They repaved the road I walk on most mornings when I don't go to the beach. I think I wore it out. :oops:

They are still spawning. I am not sure where the eggs are.

The Benefits of Parasites. For much of my 60+ years of fish keeping, I have always wondered why we have so many problems with fish diseases, especially parasite-caused diseases. Today, in my Mailbox, I received a "Discover" magazine that I have been reading for decades. This month's issue...

Possum Wrasses. I'm going to try to list my fish, mostly for my benefit but I don't know what many of them are. 2 Fireclowns 3 Red Waspfish 7, 9 or 10 clown gobies, different colors. Green, Black, blue, yellow and gray 2 six line wrasses 2 Possum Wrasses. 1 some kind of red fish, maybe a...

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...

I'm pretty sure these guys are spawning.

This morning at almost sunrise I went down to the beach armed with a bucket to collect amphipods. I knew it would be a very low tide. But nothing. Not one amphipod where there should have been millions. This is scary because after the amphipods are gone, whose next? I did see many invasive...

Another beautiful morning. On Monday we will have a moon tide so I will go and collect amphipods.

At my age and after 34 surgeries including a new aluminum knee and shoulder, I wouldn't be able to tell which body is the only one hurting. :oops:

I have an idea for a TV show. Instead of the NEWS stations telling you the forecast for the weather today and tomorrow, I think I would like to make a station that tells you yesterday and last weeks weather. This way, no one can complain because it will always be correct. :cool:
