[APD] Rainbows and duckweed

["Jim Swinford" <gswinford2 at comcast_net>]

I think you'll find that Melanotaeniaa parva come from a 
single lake in Papua-New Guinea not Australia.  They're more surface insect eaters.  I was refering to old fashioned common Australian Rainbows..Read cheap!.....Jim  PS Actually most of the Aussie rainbows will eat lots of veggie matter.like Duckweed.

This doesn't work with all rainbows--y six three inch melanotaenia 
parva are happily living in a 29G tank with an abundance of duckweed.
