A true roll model, 26 years and still learning more about each other, hope to make 47 , if I don’t die first or she kills me. LolFishybizzness, you are correct, few people stay married any more, like how many people stay in this hobby.
I couldn't imagine living without my wife. We just came back from a really nice breakfast in a muffin factory on a farm.
Then we went to farm stands for produce, plants, pies and just to kill time. Later we are going out to the east end of Long Island to a park on the water just off Plum Island just for the ride then to a really nice seafood restaurant on the sea.
We are still best friends and hang out together just as we did before we were married 47 years ago.
We move a lot slower now but have not lost any feelings at all for each other, if anything it grew stronger.
Paulie, the first 40 years are tough, then it gets easier from there. We can't argue because we know what each other will say, so whats the point?
That's very interesting!As I am waiting to go out I started to look at my tank and I couldn't find my pair of Rainsford gobies that I thought were spawning. I grabbed a flashlight and snuck around behind my tank. It's a little dark there and as I was looking through the rocks, I noticed something on my gravel.
Thousands, or maybe millions (I didn't count all of them) of worms. I don't know what kind of worms but they are not bristle worms. I got thousands of them also and know very well what they look like.
These guys are smaller, grey and don't move much. It seems only the front half of them moves, or thats all that I see move and they don't move much.
They seem to be doing the Michael Jackson robot dance as they move in jerky "twitches". Looking at them with a jewelers loupe (yes I am weird) I didn't notice a feathery plume so I don't think they are tiny feather dusters and I have no idea what they are.
They seem to shun light as none of them are in the light and I assume they are filter feeders and they live all through my gravel over my reverse undergravel filter.
I also notice back there that my gravel is "awash" in copepods which is good.
I am going to research these things but I am all excited about them as I get excited whenever I find something new.
On a day that it is not my anniversary I am going to try to remove some to put under a microscope. For now I took some pictures which wasn't easy as I had to hold the camera and a flashlight and take the pictures from an inch away.
If anyone knows what they are, let me know.
PS I did see my Rainsford Gobies.
I meant the mystery worms : )I haven't looked close yet but I just got them a week or two ago and I need to fatten them up. They will spawn soon. All healthy fish spawn constantly. Thats if you don't quarantine or medicate them of course.
