Try a Bing image search for:

neolamprologus hard water

You'll see what you'd expect to see (if you were an aquarist: Neolamprologus is
a genus of African cichlid).

Now add one word to the search:

neolamprologus hard water SIZE

....

... and that would be exactly what?

I see nothing special there. (But then again maybe you'd have to be an 
aquarist to see anything surprising, and the name Jim Charter doesn't 
ring a bell here either.)

You wouldn't need a background to notice what I'm seeing. Tested on my laptop
and mobile. Maybe the Bing servers are different in different places. Sure
you're using Bing?

Jim Charter was a famous contributor to the POV-Ray newsgroups not so 
many years ago, and a notable modeller of high heeled shoes :-)

The problem is that today, search engine are regionalised: even with the
same query and the same url of search engine, you get different results
according to your location.

He also had a very interesting blog about his life as night time taxi 
driver in New York. Little literary gems imho.
