Fig. 279. Fundulus nottii (Male) {Life size] 

 As stated in the text, some of our desirable tropical fishes come from our own 

 country. The subject of the illustration is a good example, the fish being native to 

 the southeastern states. It is highly regarded by foreign aquarists as it well should be, 

 for it is handsome, hardy and gentle. Breeding habits, page 240 (No. 8).

Fig 281. Barbus everetti (Slightly Reduced) 



Owing to the large bluish spots on this fish, it might be described as one of the 

 clowns of the aquarium, although its movements are rather sedate. As aquarium 

 "barbs" go, this is quite large in size. Illustration shows the "whiskers" nearly always 

 present in this extensive group of fishes. Lateristriga is none too hardy but is otherwise 

 very desirable. From Sumatra, Java, Borneo and vicinity. Breeding habits, page 240 

 (No. 8).
