Caryl Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 Ira's favourite (and a common) spelling error :slfg: The original fish, once discovered in their natural habitat, were promptly wiped out as they were grabbed for the aquarium trade. They can only now be found in captivity. There are cheaper, more pale, versions from elsewhere available here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F15hguy Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 have heard a theory that they were actually called angle fish originally due to their shape and a misspell led to their name nowdays Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
