Re: [Killietalk] Was "give up.." now amieti

[fishscatterer at comcast_net]

Have got around 2 dozen species spawned and raised over last  three years with "natural setups"(mostly genus rivulus or what used to be rivulus), had chromes, australes, f. gardneri just to name a few. Would have had another couple dozen if I got out fry sooner lol. I seldom use mops, mainly leave eggs to hatch in java moss.
