Pisces20 Small Fry Posts: 2 Kudos: 1 Votes: 0 Registered: 22-Dec-2006	Thank you so much! These are not my fish and I was asked if I knew, but I am not very familiar with sharks. His eyes are OK, it was the angle and the light. I didn't realize how bad the shot looked till later, but it is the only pic I have. The poor thing looks like it has cataracts, or the worst case of pop eye I've ever seen, they look so white! I appreciate your concern, though. These fellows are for sale, hopefully to a much larger setup, like 200-300 gallons. Thanks again for your help! Angela
