Re: Pupfish project questionaire



1. Willing to donate cash, say $10.

2. Willing to set up a tank, do life history, etc.

3. Green eggs and ham are generally not consumed by pupfish, who seem to 
prefer live foods such as brine shrimp, daphnia, bloodworms, mosquito 
larvae, etc., although they may be trained to accept flake food.  Might 
want to share this with folks that want to keep them.  Also, they tend 
to need hard, alkaline water.
