Description

The more practical alternative to its relative. This fish only reaches a fraction of the size of its American cousin, and is generally more available than its cousin within the aquarium trade. The majority of tarpons kept in private aquaria are Megalops cyprinoides. These fish are rather common and widespread throughout much of the Eastern Hemisphere.

Just like you're free to DM suggestions, you're also free to DM constructive criticism, things I should avoid, and things I should change

I've also decided that, since week nine is brackish week, every ninth week will have a certain theme.

Okay--
Week nine: Brackish week
Week eighteen: Brackish week II
Week twenty-seven: NA native week (Canada, US, Mexico, Central America)

We'll see from there...
