If its by Axelrod, how did he ever get all those dead fish he takes
pictures of to breed? He must be quite the breeder :`)...<

I'm no apologist for Dr. Axelrod. I don't buy many of his products but to be a
bit fair he has spent a little money on Rainbowfish ya know!! Okay, okay so he
wanted one or two(and counting) named after him, so what? I don't care who the
fish gets named after, it's all so egotistical anyway but, so long as the fish
is discovered and makes it's way into my tank I could care less whether it's
Heiko or Herbert or anyone else. I'll thank whoever wants to foot the bill and
I'll name ALL the fish after them if necessary!!;-)
