Very nice Thailand sheet. It's one of my favourites. I have never seen the stamps used as postage though. I suppose no one wants to break it up! |

I wish Asian Arowanna were legal to keep in states. I had a black ghost knife once but traded it for a fire eel. |

I see a lot of them in tanks in shops and restaurants here. Beautiful fish. Why is there a ban in the US - threat to native species in the wild? |

I think these are pretty impressive WALLIS AND FUTUNA ISLANDSUvea is the Polynesian name for Wallis Island, situated 340km east of Samoa and 3,000km north west of Tahiti. The centre of Wallis Island is semi-desert with pandanus trees. The island is encircled by a lagoon some 50 kilometres by 95 square kilometres and seafood and fish are plentiful. |

Hate to be overly technical, but a whale is a mammal, not a fish. BUT, i'll let it slide! ;-) |
