As I’m staring at my tank and admiring the sudden boom in the population of copepods I had a sudden realization. If I were to tell my friends that the thing I was most excited about in my tank was not how well the fish were doing but about these tiny, tiny “bugs” that would basically be invisible to anyone else they would start calling me a nerd before I even finish my sentence. I never would have thought that it would get to this point either
