The tank was so situated that the Hght came over the shoulder of the observer, giving an impression of the iridescent colors of the fishes to be ob- tained in no other way. It is in this par- ticular that most aquaria fail, being usually situated close to a window, the near side of the fishes being shown al- most solely by reflected light. Only by direct light is the full play of colors evi- dent. Prominent in the collection was the little Blue-spot, a sunfish that is quite common in the Middle West. Forbes and Richardson (Pishes of Illinois), remark that "this beautiful little sunfish is much the commonest of its family in our small- er streams, and is, indeed, often almost the sole sunfish product of the net in prairie creeks." It lends itself well to life in the home aquarium and lives long. It is not a particularly pugnacious species, but nevertheless it will "run the show" if large enough to awe the more docile kinds, so in a sunfish tank it is well to associate specimens similar in size. But if the Blue-spot does bully the others it will not do them unto death as is so characteristic of the cichlids.
