This is actually on strategy I've considered implementing. The problem when
it comes to rainbows is that there are not any labels out there for them. I
don't have an archive of photos that I can print and laminate myself. I
think it would be a great idea to have juveniles in tanks with photos of the
adult fish next to them. But I can't steal others' photos and laminate them
myself, that's asking for trouble. Along these lines, I think it would be
great to sell mops to people who are interested in keeping rainbows. It
would be a great educational experince for the customer and really involve
them in the husbandry. I would just have to convince them that nine months
to grow up is not that long. ;)

Thanks for the suggestion

Mike
