My favorite fish in the world! The yellowtail damselfish. When they are young, they actually do not show any of their namesake: appearing completely dark and covered in blue spots. These vibrant marks look like they actually glow underwater. It reminds me of a starry sky, which is what truly makes this fish my absolute favorite. However, as they grow older, their caudal (rear) fin turns yellow and the spots reduce to their dorsal (top) area or completely disappear. As damsels, these little guys are territorial over their algae gardens, and will often be found in the same place. They are not the easiest to take pictures of, unfortunately, due to their quick movements. So, even though they will stay in the same area, they may not move slow enough for you to get a clear picture.
Today’s tip is so easy, you can work it into your daily routine! As you brush your teeth, make sure to turn off the water. I initially wet my brush (a quick squirt of water), prepare my toothbrush, brush my teeth, then turn on the water to rinse out my mouth. Simple as that! There’s no need to leave it on- especially if you like clean teeth, and take a long time to brush. Remember, it just takes one small thing.
