To above the equator
Its only shops that dont know the fish that need to make up fake names coz I
bet the same shops have all rainbows looking like drab colourless minnows
and use fancy names to sell them we have huge display with every species
available in it to show what the potential is and dont need fancy names the
fish sell themselves.
