Re: Moina



Dear George,

Kevin Maloney in Palatine, IL had these on a list as moina.  I assumed that
that is what they are.  I had no reason to doubt him.  All I know is they
are going great .

My fish love them, and I'm hoping to keep them alive over the winter so I
can start them up in the spring again.

Deb
