[fishdoc11]

No clue

 

[EvilMel]

Art...you're just guessing C because the other two have been C!

 

[cee]

I think he's an english nautralist, so Art's response would make sense.

 

[ct_vol]

I don't think its A... I thought about it... lol But I doubt the first corals were kept at the circus.... I'm going to guess........... C!!!! lol

 

[acrodave]

mel was the only right one its a ......p.t. barnum dispalyed aquariums and aquatic life in his american museum in new york city as early as 1856. his collections helped establish the new york aquarium which opened in 1896

 

[acrodave]

a)french
b)emperor
c)half moon
d)koran

the answer is a good one you will have to waite and see

 

[EvilMel]

woooo hooooo.

How often does that happen?

emporer...but I have no idea...again.

 

[ct_vol]

half moon

 

[fishdoc11]

OK so I'll guess French so someone else can guess Koran.

 

[Fishboy42]

Koran

 

[acrodave]

matt got it by default......a juvenile koran with mismarkings on the circular white bars turned up in a zanzibar market. the misbarred fish seemed to have the words in arabic characters Laillaha,illalahah(theres is no god but allah)on one side and shani-allah(a warning sent from allah)on the other side. this specimen caused quite a stir and eventually sold for 50,000 rupees. whitch is how this fish got the name koran

 

[ct_vol]

Damn it!!!!! I'm 0 for 3!!!!!! lol

 

[EvilMel]

hah hah. What's funny about that is that you are one of the people who I would ask about reef stuff. I'm 2/3!

Barnum may have been first in the US, but Grosse was a couple of years ahead of him (in the UK - 1854).
