RE: Fruit Flies wanted fish A.amieti or any other fish in ontario region

Ruth,

Et tu, Ruth? Telling the poor newbie that Fp. amieti lay eggs. Perpetuating
this myth is a cruel joke.

OK...OK for anyone that is actually confused, I am sure that amieti do lay
eggs. But I really have never seen one. And yet I have several fry in with
their parents. They really were born in a bare tank after I siphoned out all
of the mulm. It really struck me as odd and I just couldn't help myself.

I will keep looking for eggs, but if you're all putting me on ......

Peace,

~RJ~
