Re: BOUNCE killietalk at aka_org: Admin request of type /^sub\b/iat line 6



Hello All,

        Thank you Wright, and all others who contributed, for helping me get
the info straight.  Fp. gardneri nigerianus Akamkpa it is.  I really like
these fish, both normal (gorgeous) blue as well as my black ones.  I am
really happy to have them breeding so prolifically.  They are so cool a
species that my wife, a total fish layperson, adores them.

Jay
