Re: [Killietalk] classroom advice

Hi Gary, N. korthause sounds like it may work in your time frame(
actually too short for anything). 2 pair of 8 week old KOR set up for 2
weeks(I let them spawn for a month at a time). Dry for 6 weeks at 80F and
wet. 4 to 8 weeks later they are sexing out reliably. The whitei of S.A.
may also work with this time frame. Your Aphyosemions would be much
quicker but most likely wouldn't mature in time. Sincerely, Fred Behrmann
