    You know here in the Tampa Area probably 1/3 of the businesses here have some type of Aquarium in their public area be it a restaurant, doctor office, or The local TV station who has an a large reef aquarium as the back drop on the news set. And they spend big money on these tanks but none of them or almost none, maintain there own tanks. It can be a eye catching beautifully done display or the worst kind of eye sore that will do more to hurt your business that help

    Ok, this question may have been answered already... but are the "green" fish a lionhead variety? The pics are hard to see since the only internet I have is on my cell... (sorry)

    It is a Ranchu, That's just a fancy name for a Japanese Lionshead. There are some minor difference in body shape but 99.9% of the people in the world wouldn't be able to tell a Japanese fish from a Chinese fish.

    I can tell between a Chinese lionhead and a Japanese ranchu! ;D

    Anyways, I would be so happy if I could get some of your fish one day! :'D But I think it's rather impossible to ship any living fish from there, to Finland :'C
