Rosario La Corte

Breeder, writer. In the 20th Century, Rosario La Corte was almost certainly responsible for breeding and introducing more fish than anybody on the plants. The Emperor tetra is named after him, in fact a few fish are named after him and they're all quite exotic. Rosario is also one of the kindest and most genteel person around. He's like everybody favorite uncle.
