Re: Fry to killies (was Re: aquarium gravel)

Well I was looking at buying a trio or so of guppies from petsmart and breeding them in a ten gallon, not purchasing fry from the store. That way, they should be healthy, as long as the all are quarentined first, right?

The only precaution is that if the fish you feed are infected with

except that some people would find it distasteful.

It is like the fact that the best place for a human to catch an infection 
is in a hospital. The best place to catch one if you are a fish is from 
other fish.
