Why RoachEye.com?

 

Why RoachEye? Well the roach fish is a common fish in Swedish waters and it has beautiful red eyes. In fact the legend has it that the roach fish got its red eyes because he's so kind and friendly.

“Saint Peter dropped the key to heaven’s gate in a very deep lake in Sweden and asked the perch to pick it up. The perch refused to help and the other fishes in the lake became desperate.
Then the friendly roach fish came along and offered to go and get the key. The key was way too heavy for the little roach fish so when he finally got the key to the surface his eyes had turned red.”

This also explains how the perch got its stripes, but that's another story....
