I am on business travel in the DC area, and friend of mine recommended
that I visit the Aquarium Center outside of Baltimore. WOW, we don't
have anything like that in Seattle !!

They had a beautiful fish that I had never seen before, Popondetta
Furcata Forktail, at least thats what they said it was. Anyway, it had
blue eyes and yellow highlighted forked fins. Are these available on a
regular basis ??

Additionally, they had a large, 100 gallon-ish' community Rainbow tank.
The fish that caught my eye was the Glossolepis Multisquamatus. This
was a very large multi colored fish with green,gray and yellow
coloration. The juveniles they had were very drab and could easily be
overlooked had I not seen the adults.

If your in Baltimore, I would recommend you stop by, its worth it !!
