justonemore20 thanks for the link. i didn't know there where that many species.
weasel F. thanks for the classification. just a little off topic, but was myanmar formally known as burma? or was it the other way around? just trying to brush up on my geopgraphy/politics in my spare time.
also, the shop where i bought my fish from, and most that i visit label this fish as siamese fighting fish. not too sure if that has any relevance on anything but i thought i'd mention it.
thanks.
