        Joel, the first Species Profile in JAKA that I wrote was on Script 
schmitti........ I don't remember the issue ... Maybe the second issue of '04

        Here is a partial from the breeding and maintenance section:


        ".  These fish may be raised in a permanent set up containing Java 
moss and floating plants, some young will survive and may be raised with 
the parents.  Authors disagree as to the first food, some indicate fry are 
capable of taking newly hatched baby brine shrimp and other indicate 
infusoria is required for the first few days.  The present 
author  transfers newly hatched fry to a small container which contains 
water from an established aquarium. A small piece of Java moss is included 
as is some green water and a small amount of paramecium ??.  Within 24 
hours a small amount of newly hatched baby brine is added.  The eggs used 
for newly hatched fry are smaller than the Utah Brand.    This insures that 
there is adequate food sizes for all fry.  Growth reports have varied, but 
sexual maturity is reached between 4  6 months depending on diet and care."
