The Golden Trout 
T» Golden Trout or Orfe (Idus Melanotus) is 
Grassyfork’s latest importation and should be in every pool. It is called the 
Golden Trout because its habits are very similar. Oftentimes it will be seen 
leaping out of the water to catch insects. This fish is a native of Europe. The 
outstanding feature of this very attractive orange colored fish is the fact that 
it is a surface swimmer. The fish is, therefore, constantly in view and adds life 
and color to the pool at all times. The Golden Trout or Orfe is more cylindrical 
than the goldfish and grows to greater 
lengths. The Golden Orfe is perfectly 
at home in either a still water pool or a 
pool with running water, as it is ex¬ 
tremely hardy. Shipments are made 
until July 1st.

FEEDING 
This is an important matter for all 
types of fish kept in the Aquarium. 
We list several fish foods (see page 29), 
all tested by us and used for feeding 
our own stock. We suggest their use. 
Feed Goldfish every other day about as 
much as they will take in five minutes. 
If you would keep Goldfish in good 
condition, feed sparingly. 
Feed adult Tropical Fish once a day 
about as much as they will eat in ten 
minutes. Avoid excess. Baby Trop¬ 
icals should be fed two or three times 
a day. 
Be sure to remove all food that set¬ 
tles to the bottom of the Aquarium, as 
this decaying food will sour the water.

. . . Amphibia and Snails 
Snails, Turtles, Salamanders, Fresh Water Clams or 
Mussels and like amphibian creatures are not only oddly interesting, but also 
perform diligently the task of keeping the pool or aquarium free from decaying 
or other foreign matter, algae, and green scum, keeping the water at that crystal 
clearness so much desired. 
NOTE: Shipping cans are required for Tad¬ 
poles. All other scavengers may be shipped in 
damp moss. When fish and scavengers are 
both included in the order, scavengers will be 
shipped in container with the fish whenever 
possible. On orders of / 
$2 or less, INCLUDE / -A\ £/

JAPANESE LIVE-BEARING SNAILS— 
One of the best scavengers for Pool or Aquar¬ 
ium. Large, live-bearing, active, hardy. 
3 for 25c; per dozen 75c; per hundred $5.00. 
BLACK RAMSHORN SNAILS—Having a 
shell curled like a Ram’s horn. A medium 
size egg-laying Snail. Very active and pro¬ 
lific. 25c for three; 75c per dozen; $5 per 100. 
RED OR CORAL SNAILS—Shells shaped 
like Black Ramshorn. A beautiful coral-red 
Snail. Perhaps the finest Snail for Aquarium 
use. Active, and prolific egg-layers. Why 
not raise a few in the pool for your Aquarium 
next winter? 50c for three; $1.75 per dozen. 
GEOGRAPHIC TURTLES—Tiny, interest¬ 
ing aquatic animals, with curious mosaic de¬ 
signs on upper and lower shells. Provide a 
board or rock on which they may sun them¬ 
selves until the lily pads are large enough to 
hold them. 50c for four; $1.25 per dozen. 
CONCRETE PAINT—A splendid Robin’s-Egg 
Blue. We supply in quarts, half-gallons and gal¬ 
lons a specially prepared paint which not only 
preserves but beautifies a concrete pool. This 
paint will preserve the concrete, prevent small leaks, 
and is non-injurious for plants or fish. The color is 
especially prepared to enhance the appearance of 
clear water. A quart will cover 110 to 160 square 
feet of concrete with one coat—a gallon 450 to 550 
square feet. Three or more coats should be ap¬ 
plied to insure a permanent and wholly satisfactory 
finish. Per quart, $1.25; per half-gallon, $2.35; 
per gallon, $4.50. 
TADPOLES—Young of 
the green pond frog before 
the legs have developed. Will in no way 
injure fish or plants. Excellent for devouring 
decaying plant and other foreign matter, 
green scum, etc. 50c per dozen; $3.00 per 
100. Shipping cans, 50c each. 
GREEN FROGS—Where there are lily pads, 
one expects to find green frogs. Interesting, 
and a good insect trap, too. 75c per pair; 
$3 per dozen. 
JAPANESE SALAMANDERS—Like the 
above but larger, with black backs and fiery- 
red vests. 50c for two; $2.50 per dozen. 
CLAMS OR FRESH WATER MUSSELS— 
Valuable in extracting the plant growth that 
turns pool or aquarium water green. They 
act as a filter, taking in large quantities of 
green water and ejecting it crystal clear. 
25c for two; $1.25 per dozen.
