Re: [Killietalk] Killifish Research Projects?

[Jeremy Adams <frogfood at mac_com>]

I think this would be a reasonable topic as I can see how we could  
raise several generations of fish to adulthood within a school year  
assuming we start with good breeders at the beginning of the year.

We could raise each generation in slightly different water  
conditions, or divide each "batch of eggs into smaller groups, then  
raise to adulthood.
