RE: Electrical noise (was Re: a note about the hanna TDS meters)
Sorry guys Killies are a small part of my hatchery.
Killies are my "pet" fish so to speak. Most of my
tanks are for breeding Discus, Apistos, and Angels.
The Killies are my new challenge and a really fun fish
I have fallin in love with. After doing Cichlids for
the last 15 + years I am just ready for something new.
It's cool to see male killies have the same tenacity
as a dominant male Cichlid. So much energy in such a
small package.
