William T. Innes, was born today in 1874. Enjoy your day off from water changes, filter media rinses, and glass wiping. And if you have Neon Tetras, P. innesi, keep an eye on them. They like to spawn on this day. A colleague whom I met in the now defunct Collectors of Aquarium Literature group...

Two very different but entirely adorable faces. Congratulations.

Yes. Check water values. It looks like things have gone bad water quality-wise. I assume you used a dechlorinator. Also, as @MattW, suggested, for goldfish, pre-soaking dried food, flakes and pellets, is a good idea. Even better is not to feed dry food exclusively. I feed my goldfish frozen...

...which is on Turner Classic Movies as we speak. The book is, IMO, even better, but then sgain, William Goldman never wrote anything I did not like.

The next one, this weekend. I don't like any weather system that has the word 'bomb' in it.

Welcome to you and your aquatic gang, especially the 'Jewel Spotted Anostomus." I actually wasn't aware that that particular species--Hypomasticus megalepsis-- had a 'commercial name' and had to google it. Love the Anostomids.

This mound greeted me as I turned the corner walking the dog this morning. It's about a 9 footer.

The new mayor passed his first big test, by all accounts, with flying colors. New Yorkers can get cranky about any laxity in this regard and at least two past mayors suffered career-ending political consequences as a result. The streets are already cleared. Salt trucks continue to roam spraying...

Welcome! Your wall tank makes me jealous. Always wanted one

Welcome to our community think tank.

The city has delivered big time so far with snow removal. We're on the corner of a major avenue and a much less traveled street. The plows have been over both several times today. BTW, your old stomping grounds, Bayside, has reported 14.2" of snow from this storm so far. Manhattan is now up to...

In Manhattan, 8.3" of snow on the ground so far (as of 3PM) with plenty of storm still coming in from the west. Looks like the prediction of 8"-12" will be dead on. Outside temp is currently 12F and it doesn't rise above freezing for 10 days. So whatever falls will be here for a while...

For NYC they are calling for 1-2" per hour from early Sunday AM til early evening, then a lighter rate through Monday. Temp outside currently at 5:30PM is 17F and falling. But I feel far worse for those south of us who will be getting ice. You know the film, "The Day After Tomorrow"? We can...

As I said, TWC continues to up the ante. The new headline:
