They went from floating ethereally to power-eating their way through reefs and lost their style Dr Al.
How very sad. Back in the day I had a salt water aquarium and a lion fish added a much needed modicum of style. Floating ethereally it knew it was a class act. The lion fish has dreams, goals and aspirations like any other flounder. Should we deny them the chance for self actalualization?
