did you ever hear the Story that Michael Paré couldn't sing when he auditioned for this movie?
No I didn’t! If you close your eyes he sounds like Bruce Springsteen. Do tell.

I just found a HUGE worm in the bottom of my tank. I have no idea what he's doing but my shrimp are patrolling the area. I've seen them eat worms before. Are they going to make a big feast? Or could this be a problem.. couldn't get an ID either, the fricker ran away before I could get a photo.

Anyone know of a good place to buy beghia? Reefengineer is out. I only need 8 or 10, so it would have to be someone who doesn't require you to purchase a lot of them at once.
Did you try ReefTown?

I came across Joel’s thread at the beginning and although he hasn’t been on much, Joel was being Joel and I couldn’t leave. Since a lot of great people have come around and it got more and more like a place I like to stay. If I come across good people I try to bring them over as much as I can but some get scared off by Tim sharing things like cologaurd and rectal ease.
Think so? Tim's kinda all over Reef2Reef.

Probably a bristle worm, hopefully not a bobbit.

Handles is rated the 3rd best ice cream in the nation. Ironically number one and two are in Ohio also. I have tried both and I still think Handles is the best. Maybe because I grew up on it. When I was growing up we went to the original before they franchised.
Dairy Queen is what we have. And it's not even true ice cream
Same, many orchards lost their apples and strawberries as well.
After yesterday's storm I bet no one will have any here. So sad. 😞
So sorry Shelley, that’s a gut punch! I had one, one of my first fish I put in in 2021. In the fall of last year its belly blew up like a balloon. Fish medics said it was either kidney or liver failure, no treatment. My current one is doing well but a lot more reclusive than my first.
I will give it another try then. And thanks. I didn't expect it. They are so pretty. I had read they can be reclusive.
Look at the adorable axolotl one of my coworkers made me!
Do you have a real one? I gave black worms to a lady that had 2. They had babies! First I gave her baby brine shrimp. Then the worms until she could get her own.
Happy Taco Tuesday Joel!
Hola, feliz Martes de Tacos! I love tacos. And the waiter at my favorite restaurant is teaching me a little Spanish. Very little.
