Re: [Killietalk] Azolla

Hi Diane. I was able to breed the "Scarlet Badis" using Java Moss laying on 
the bottom of a small tank.Upon lifting up the Java Moss, I would see the 
newly hatched fry darting about the bottom.Perhaps the floating Azolla with 
dangling roots would not entice the badis to breed? Ya think?  Harry W.
