Puffer1 Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 Thought you might like to see a pic of a rhinopias that was at the Old Town Aquarium in Chicago. Hubby and I vacationed there last week and I shot this pic........I think he's totally awesome! Link to comment
Angel Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 That is a cool looking fish. It looks fake with that awesome coloration. Link to comment
holyherbiness Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 awesome fish. only a few times more expensive than a nano-reef, who wouldn't get it? Link to comment
2muchreef4u Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 i left reefkeeping a couple of years ago to try my hand at these guys, called flower horns. basically a hi-brid type of cichlid ranging from U.S.$2500-$10,000 (i'm not kidding). they are starting to get popular here in the U.S. overseas businessmen collect and breed them. many of them have monkey looking faces and awesome colors even nicer than some saltwater fish. you can even pet & feed them by hand just like a puppy Link to comment

Anyone know what kind of model from nokia it is? (it looks like a nokia) It looks like a phone that can only be bought in Europe or Asia, not the US. hmmm... Link to comment
