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.
