    Oceans Reef Aquariums, basicly an aquaculture facility that breeds fish and grows corals and such and clams. You will see the tag on items for sale if they are ORA.

    speaking of livestock I just remembered going to my LFS the other day and I swear they have fish in really small tanks. First of all they had a very unique and beautiful batfish (forget what kind) in like a 50 gallon, but probably because its fins werent as long as a bat's yet. They had a miniature yellow cowfish with like a million ocellaris and a few small wrasses; I'm surprised it didnt kill everything in the tank because conditions looked pretty crowded. it even had sme really dark spots that werent part of the regular color pattern; now thats what I call a great aquarium! (yeah sure)

    I've got a 29.
    I have a firefish, blue chromis, red head goby, red bar high fin goby, hector goby and a yellowtail blenny.
    I want some more fish that can swim in the water column like the chromis and was thinking either getting more of those so they school up, or wait till my lfs has some smaller sized cheaper bangai cardinals.
