No wonder Jeff had been stripped of his fishfeeding job at the Choo Choo
Aquarium!  :-)

This is da Feeesh at a few miles from the Chattanooga Aquarium, checking
in from [log in to unmask]  Been here fer a few days ... Scuba-SE has
been so quiet without me stirring some silt!  ;-)

I hadn't seen that page before.  When I saw the "Port Jackson Shark" pic,
I IMMEDIATELY recognized that I saw dozens of those in Tahiti and I had
been calling those suckers ramoras!  They have these flat waffle-grill
shaped pads on their back -- looked perfected suitable for sucking onto
any REAL SIZED sharks.   So, here are the obvious questions:  Is "Port
Jackson shark" a local nickname for that fish?  Is that a ramora?
Enquiring mind wanna know.
