    I almost saved a Supermodel today

    Last night I was thinking about this and I remembered something disturbing. I used to Play Santa Claus in NYU in Manhattan that has a floor for Cancer children and infants. Those kids and little babies are the worst of the cancer patients and something like 40% of them don't make it. On the...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    In these tough times My wife and I have been trying to get innovative and to do things that don't involve other people, or at least not other people that have to get to close. This week we played a few Scrabble and Monopoly games that I had to dig out of mothballs. We do a crossword puzzle at...

    Lets Not Be Snowflakes

    You mis read my meaning. I only meant we have to endure some hardships for a little while so we can get through this. Not that this disease is not horrible in any way. I am old and live in New York where it is the worst. I was talking about people complaining that we have to do some things...

    I almost saved a Supermodel today

    It's pretty warm here today so I decide to get some exercise and take a walk to the beach behind my house. It's about 170 steps almost straight down and being it's kind of still winter, I have not been doing this much yet. In the summer I try to do it almost every day. So I figure I will go...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    Paulie I brought white worms to that meeting, you should have taken some. :) You can just order a starter culture of worms on line. Google them, they are about $15.00. You put them in potting soil, keep them very damp and feed dry cat food. Then multiply like crazy but I also know you can...

    Aquascaping for fish health

    Paulie, I take rocks like that and cement it all together to make a big arch which I build everything on. Your tank is relatively small so you can't do to much building.

    Aquascaping for fish health

    I think a lot of people make the mistake of buying, or collecting rock and stacking it in their tank. I think that is a totally wrong approach. When they collect rock in the sea they throw it up on a barge. Doing that breaks off all the cool looking protrusions so we get roundish, un...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    Paulie, Sorry but seahorses and pipefish do not eat worms. I don't know why, but they never do. I use whiteworms now as I can grow them by the thousands and I can't get blackworms here. But horses won't eat those either.

    Aquascaping for fish health

    As I sit here self quarantining myself I have a lot of time to look at and ponder my tank. As I study it from the front and the back which I just scraped clean just to do something I noticed something that we rarely speak about. We normally make our aquascape to look like something pleasing...

    Baby grass shrimp is their main diet around where you live. Of course they can't handle the big ones.

    Paulie, you are wise enough. I didn't write that entire thing myself. I found it and embelished it but I do like it and believe it.

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    You know ... time has a way of moving quickly and catching you unaware of the passing years. It seems just yesterday that I was young, just married and embarking on my new life with my mate. Yet in a way, it seems like eons ago, and I wonder where all the years went. I know that I lived them...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    Good Morning. I left my main squeeze sleeping and I went to a supermarket. (She gave me a list) The Supermarket is open from 6-7:00 am for Geezers and Supermodels only. Supermodels don't need much food and they can get by just with a few squirts of chicken soup in their face twice a day...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

    Paulie everyone in my family had fish markets, in Sicily they fished. My Dad used to peddle fish across the Brooklyn Bridge with a bushel on his back. When he made enough money he bought a push cart and pushed that across the Bridge twice a day. That was about 1928 or so. He died suddenly at...

    Why Do We Find This So Fascinating?

    Why do we find this stuff so fascinating. (I actually posted this quite a few years ago somewhere, I think) I don't know about many of you guys but I have been watching fish for well over half a century and today as I was sitting close to my tank watching every move of every tentacle I started...
