    is the Common name. Even though it's not very common. ;)

    You should start practicing that Japanese.

    Looks like the small ones go for 1200 Yen ($11.22)

    Ok. I totally feel like a nerd here. Like I'm back in High school or something but check it out.

    "tenjikudai" is translated by the Japanese-English Ocean Dictionary (www.oceandictionary.net) as Cardinal fish.

    So I guess the Common name would be Neon Cardinalfish.

    I wonder if Gresham can get these in, what were those fish we liked at the warehouse Craig? I think they were Damsels right? With the neon stripe?

    They could be guppies, I know that you can acclimate guppies to thrive in salt water. I used to put some in with my puffer and snowflake eal to pick on when they got hungry.
