In today's paper, there's a photo of a very nice coral reef tank. The photo in the paper takes up 1/4 of the page. Too bad we can't see it in color. Unfortunately the website photo is too tiny to see.

Anyhow, I don't know what to make of the story. Its about Salmonella. They start off talking about guppies, then they talk about fish coming from Singapore and Thailand.

You know, I find it interesting in that article that they are talking about guppys, which from my understanding are a fresh water fish only (?), yet all the pictures are of saltwater fish. I also find it interesting that salmonella could live in such salty conditions (ie our reef tanks) and still wreak havoc when they entered a human system (waay less salty). Hmm, I think I'm gonna look into this further.
