JManrow Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 lol.. this fish needs to be put on the endangered list and not collected... in the meantime, definately not purchased! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DChemist Posted September 8, 2006 Author Share Posted September 8, 2006 If I am not mistaken' date=' he is joking.[/quote'] Yeah- a feeble attempt at humor. (whistle) I do find it interesting that I don't know then lifespan of the fish in my tank (tomato clown, firefish, green chromis, unknown coral goby). Perhaps a little fishbase research is in order. Here's the original journal article... 1.Shortest recorded vertebrate lifespan found in a coral reef fish Current Biology, Volume 15, Issue 8, 26 April 2005, Pages R288-R289 Martial Depczynski and David R.

JManrow Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 If I am not mistaken' date=' he is joking.[/quote'] yep... the sense of humor around here can range anywhere from feeble to full-scale deranged. :p (crazy) (nutty) rofl <== Typical PNWMAS Members Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeanF Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 I know of a store in another state that would sell it then blame its death on the customer and sell them a new one. Kinda like green goniporas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
