Funny you know, I recently heard the same story in Australia. Brillant
fish apparently, they make praecox look like Gambusia. It will be two
years until they'll hit the market though. Some guy had to chopper them
out of a remote lagoon on Cape York. Exciting huh?
My mind went back to that pink paintbrush rainbowfish the storyteller
posted to the list a few months ago, and I just nodded like I was
impressed. ;-)
Wish I was back in Queensland where the women are tall and beautiful,
and the tales are even more so. ;-)
Cheers.
