Tank theme

[qwikimpss]

I got an idea for a tank theme a little while ago when I brought home my second 29 gallon tank. I was thinking about putting together a tank of fish that aer all named for Herbert Axelrod, yanno, Cardinal tetras, Black Neons, some corydoras axelrodi. What does everyone think of that? I think it would be incredibly interesting!
