Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

My Bangai Cardinals had babies. Spawning Bangai Cardinals is not a big Whoop because they, (and all healthy fish) do this all the time. Bangai Cardinal babies are rather large as compared to most salt water fish but I didn't catch them. I could not catch anything in my tank unless I take the tank apart and that is not going to happen.

After 2 days I don't see any of the babies but I didn't think I would as, just like in the sea, they would have all been eaten.
(I will look close at some floating algae to see if I find any)

This picture is old and not the Cardinals I have now. Bangai's are one of the shortest lifespan fish we normally keep only living 3 4 or so years.

I am actually surprised these spawned because I got them as babies and they are not fully grown.

NASA stole this idea from me.

The space station is too clean, and it’s making astronauts sick

Scientists hypothesize that cultivating a diverse set of microbes on the International Space Station – and the its eventual replacement – could improve astronaut health.

I would sue them if I were you.

Today, April 1st is the anniversary of the deadliest day in Vietnam in 1970 where we lost over 70 guys on that day alone and over 600 that month.

That was the battle of Fire Support Base Ilingworth which I was in. It's also what my book is about.

Last week one of my Cheap Chinese lights croaked, so after I discovered I couldn't fix it, I bought a new one on Amazon. Today, another cheap Chinese light croaked so first I will take it apart to see if it is fixable. If I can't fix it I will order a new one.

Still the tank looks good.

I saw this thing on the news this morning that there is this military museum on Long island and they are having some event there so I went. It's a cold, rainy day and I figured I had nothing else to do today so I went. It's almost an hour away and when I got there there is a big sign out front that said "CLOSED". Great, it opens tomorrow.

So I didn't want to waste the day and I went to my favorite LFS on my way home and got a dragon faced pipefish. $20.00. The owner wasn't there or he would have given it to me for probably $15.00. But $20.00 isn't bad and I like them. He had nothing else interesting except tangs and and angels which I don't like so I just took the pipe.

One of these, but not this one.
