Re: Killies and light

[YoHoHo at aol_com]

I recently had a about a 1000 gal pond put in my backyard, and I thought some 
of you might find it interesting, that my A australe were rarely seen on 
cloudy days, or in the evening, or at night with lights on - BUT - on the 
bright, no clouds, direct sunlight days, there they were, taking leisurely 
swims all around the pool, usually one male and two females, stopping to 
deposit an egg or two at regular intervals.  NEVER saw them except in the 
bright, sunlit days.  Who says they don't like light?
