In this episode, "History of Fishkeeping," the crew learns about how some folks were keeping fish in glass tanks since the Victorian era (say wha?) and that women were some of the first aquarists!
This podcast is brought to you by the bluestreak cleaner wrasse, the janitor/dentist/parasitologist of the sea. These pretty little specimens spend their days removing parasites from the gills, teeth and skin of many types of large fish. And this task can be daunting! The brave little wrasse will willingly enter the giant maw of a grouper or the toothy gape of a moray eel. And yet these large predators have respect for what the cleaner wrasse does and do not consume them. After all, if you don’t have fingers or floss, how else can you get things out from between your teeth? Cheers to you, bluestreak cleaner wrasse and thank you for making the ocean a cleaner place to live.
