Re: The Sachs Aquarium WISHLIST

I'm surprised that no one has requested one of my favorite fish, the long-horned cowfish. OK, it's not really a reef aquarium fish (it should be kept in a fish-only tank), but then again, neither are clown triggers!

Other ideas:
1. Horseshoe crab
2. Bristleworms! (yes, they ARE part of any reef tank)
3. Jawfish that burrow in the gravel
4. "Cleanup crew" animals like blue-legged hermit crabs
5. A wider choice of backgrounds -- or the ability to aquascape your own tank, using different live rock and coral objects.
6. Pulsing Xenia
7. Free-swimming comb jellies, which would put on a light show when the tank goes dark. (Hey, jellyfish-keeping is popular in Japan, so this isn't too far-fetched.)
8. Pipefish
9. Grunt Sculpin. (OK, you can't buy this species in a pet store. But if you've ever seen one -- like those at the Long Beach Aquarium -- you know how goofy they look and how interesting they are.)
