Re: [Killietalk] classroom advice

Brine  shrimp would be easy.

Daphnia would be entertain. I had some in my classroom.

I breed cory catfish and bought the fry home each week. They saw the eggs and the newly hatched fry. I moved them to a seperate tank.

Also I had some african clawed frog tadpoles. I kept in a tank of green water. 

Bettas will breed fairly easy.

Here are a few ideas.

Later,

Scott
