got leeches, ostracods (cool), dragon fly larvae, and
very cool snails-- who knows what else.<<

Hey John, in the summertime I regularly get flag fish and some other fish I
couldn't indentify from plants I buy from Florida. I was getting so many
that I started spreading them out in several tanks. The killies faired well
with several reaching adulthood. The other never lived for more than a
month. The fish eggs seemed to come in on the hornwort I was buying. It was
very odd seing these fish suddenly appear...and it was always only one or
two at a time. I could never understand why so few at a time.
