Aqua Critters

My friend Stan's wife had a birthday party that I was invited to. That was nice, but the point of this post is Stan's fish. Stan is the most world famous ichthyologist I've ever met. That means he likes his fish sans batter and lemon wedges.

Stan will get together with his friends and trek across India for 3 months, discover an as-yet-unnamed guppy in a pond in the outback of Uttar Pradesh, pop open champagne, and call the trip a smashing success.

Obviously Stan has fish tanks in his house. Whether you are into fishthyology or not, you cannot help but appreciate Stan's tanks. It's like going to the aquarium... but better.

No treasure chest, no plastic plants, nothing artificial. All fresh-water fish and plants perfectly healthy, beautifully illuminated, in a thriving, aquatic environment.

Incredible.
