Miscellaneous Fishes 
Not tropicals but interesting fishes for the aquarium. 
BLACK BULLHEADS. Jet black ; long whisker-like feeler. Will live 
with goldfish. $1 pair; $2.50 for six; $4 dozen. 
FRESH WATER FLOUNDERS. This interesting novelty is called 
the “aeroplane fish” because of its easy, horizontal progress 
through the water, the swimming being accomplished mainly by 
an undulating motion of the fins at the edges of the body. When it 
is quite young the eyes are on both sides and the fish swims like 
any other fish and is colored the same on both sides. As one eye 
works itself to the other side of the head the fish gets to swimming 
in a flat position and the under side becomes light in color. In the 
aquarium it frequently fastens itself to the sides of the glass by 
suction. Chopped worms make a suitable diet for them. A most 
interesting novelty. $1.50 pair. 
BRAZILIAN CATFISH (Corydorus). A quaint fish well adapted to 
life in the aquarium. Principally a ground feeder, it is re¬ 
garded as something of an aquarium scavenger. Quite harmless. 
$2 pair. 
GOLDEN ORF. See page 37. 
Collections of Tropical 
Realizing that the true fish fan is never satisfied with one or two varieties of these 
interesting tropicals, we are making it easy to get a small collection at one time. 
MOSQUITO KILLERS—Maybe you do not care so much about fish but you are sure 
to be dead set against mosquitoes. The wrigglers that appear in every pond, 
puddle or rain barrel are the natural food of fishes. Place a few fishes in your pool 
or in a nearby water hole. Each year we have a lot of poorly colored “scrubs” that 
fail to meet our standards of aquarium fishes. The tropical “scrubs” cannot, of course, 
be placed outdoors until the water temperature is likely to be maintained at 65 degrees 
or more. We offer these good active mosquito-killing fishes at $2.50 per dozen, in¬ 
cluding their shipping can. For those who wish mosquito killers quite early in spring, 
we offer the hardier types which can be shipped at any time. The silver variety of 
goldfishes, 3 to 6 inches long, belong to this latter group and will be furnished If 
preferred. Hardy mosquito-killers, $12.50 per hundred. (Collection No. 55) 
HARMONY COLLECTION—One pair each of seven varieties of our choice. This 
collection includes one pair each of Swordtails, Blue Moons, Gold Moons, Rosy 
Barbs, Striped Gourami, Silver Tetra and Red Hybrid Helleri. May be accommodated
