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
