Re: [Killietalk] thoughts & rant on the egg trade aspect

["KeeHoe Leong" <markc at wire-online_com>]

Hi Ken,

Nah. I am not trying to defend myself or anything similar. Just want
to share with the fella hobbist what i felt when i pack killie eggs
preparing for long journey. I remember i ever send solid 500g of peat
together with at least 150 killi egg to ensure whatever happen along
the way. The receiving end will still has many babe killi to care for.

To me that is part of the fun of the hobby.
