Re: NFC: Re: Donated Killies

Robert; this is James in Baltimore. Didn't you receive the report on the
Evergladii I received from you. I sent it over three months ago???
If not I will resend it , but I sent it to your email address along with
another project not related to native fish but to the breeding of the orange
stripe neon coryadorus. Please advise.

James
