Re: AAACK!!! COFFEE!
I think I remember an article on the Krib about someone spilling a half cup
of coffee into a tank of fish that hadn't spawned no matter what was
tried... The next couple days after the spillage, they spawned. Perhaps it
is somewhat similar to peat filtered blackwater? Lower pH and yellow
water... Hmmmm

The most likely effect will be a lower pH and slight yellowing of the water.
Other than that, don't panic.Bob Dixon
