Look What I Found at a Chinese Restaurant...Take 2

[bruinsbro1997]

I was dining at a local Chinese restaurant for Christmas dinner, guess what I found! Well, it's been there for awhile, just decided to post it now

It seems around 4-5 ft long, anywhere from 55-90 gallons approx. I think it is stocked with two damsels, an ocellaris clown, and a tomato clown. They have a trickle filter, and a lot of sump/fuge/overflow work in the bottom cabinet. Also a sea urchin. Enjoy!

Why is it that the chinses food/sushi places usually have the cool tanks? That thing is sweet! The clown in the top right of the 1st pic looks huge, is it really a tomato?

Fish have been seen as lucky in China since ancient times. Supposed to bring prosperity to businesses. Fishkeeping as we know it began in China!

That is a tomato clown? I thought tomatos were more rounded, orange, and had a white head.

I heard it began with ponds in Egypy used to harvest fish for crocodile gods and what not and then the wealthy civilians had fish in their houses as a symbol of money.

I assume the second clown in the first picture is. I don't ID SW and am not SW myself, I am just going off what I have barely seen of SW fish.

That is awesome! I wish all restaurants would have fish tanks.

I meant ornamental fishkeeping and the cultivation of new breeds and strains for looks.
