Re: Wild killies from whole sellers? Ethical?
Dr Romand wrote an article in TFH some months back. He related as to how the
appearance of the strain of geryi from a specific spot, studied over a
number of years, had significantly changed! His photos certainly made a case
for the plasticity of killies.
Naturally a quick look around doesn't turn up that issue. If someone has it,
it is worth a second look. (I wish one could buy annual CDs of the pubs!)
All the best!
