Re: [Killietalk] killies in stores

["R. Brice" <Tarmack at clarityconnect_com>]

Some stores have small 2 gallon tanks on the checkout counter.  Volunteer to 
give them a pair of killiefish for that tank.  They sell the tanks as desk 
tanks.  usually a betas is in the tank and they are short lived compared to 
killiefish.  Let the store learn first hand how long they live.
