Re: [Killietalk] Slow growing fry

["Keith Cook" <kcook at sdgdocs_com>]

I thought I recognized such a phrase as being from the masked man himself.
Here's a slow grower for me - splendopleure. They sex out faster than celiae
but seem to put on size even more slowly -- at least for me.  

Well, gonna go look at my fish now and call it "working in the fishroom."
