     After spending the night in my aquarium, my SAE relaxed and got his 
     regular colors--I am now the proud owner of a flying fox!  At the 
     shop, the golden stripe and dark fins were nonexistent, but he's got 
     them now!  Sigh.  He just looks at me, mockingly.  The false SAE has 
     also been smirking.
     
     I'm going to need a bigger aquarium if this keeps up!
     
     Amazonia still claims to have the real thing.
