Giant deep water isopod: Bathynomus giganteus QUOTE]

 

[Gr8KarmaSF]

vote bump, still a close race!

 

[ChrisH]

I voted 1 because they r beautiful fish

 

[Tongue33]

VOte people!!

 

[cichlid savage]

I voted for # 1 but # 2 is a great pic too.

 

[Druu]

I vote number one because it's more likely that a MFK member would own an asian arrow than an isopod. Even if tank temperatures were right, it would be difficult to mimic the pressure in the wild.

I went with the isopod pic this round. Very interesting.

 

[glowbug0015]

It's true that it'd be difficult to mimic the pressure-but since isopods are crustaceans, their hard exoskeleton makes changes in water pressure less worrying than with deepwater fish, and so they can survive in shallow, cold tanks.


Isopods are so ugly that they're cute! I love their alien-ness. Plus, I like the focus of #2-and that you can see another isopod just to the right of the obvious one.
