Re: dwarf fish

["K & D Martin" <martndk@ibm.net>]

sure, i realize they are different, i like them no matter what, but if they
had been dwarf i would have put them in the office tank, they are in a 5.5
gallon now by themselves, but will move them over to a 35 long soon,
couldn't find much on them online.  I have 5 different tanks all with
different water params and such, have the convicts and jack dempsey in two
tanks, the johannis with some tetras in another, the rams and kribs together
in another tank with tetra and loaches and one tanks for isolation that i
change out a lot.   Thank you for the tips on dwarfs, now i have to find
some somewhere, is anyone on the list a breeder of these and could send some
via mail?  Temps have been in the 70s here in texas (freaky actually,
supposedly warmer than usual but it was the same last year).

thanks!  kym
