Re: North American killies



Hi Jon (and all),

If you are interested in NA killies, there is a very active mail list at  
nfc at actwin_com that deals with them all the time. I think you can find the
signup at the Native Fish Conservancy web site at
http://nativefish.interspeed.net/.

Check it out. It's worth a look, and has a lot of what you seek.
