RE: Ailing krib and Krib genetics

[Kathy Olson <kathy@thekrib.com>]

There are some great kribs at a fish store in Texas called Village
tropical.  
Erik and I were visiting some time back and a local breeder was working on
color and the number of spots, the fish were quite stunning, rivaled any P
taeniatus and made me want to start keeping kribs again.  

I haven't been there recently, it was probably a year ago we passed
through town and dropped in on the store.  So, I hope they are still
around for people to find.
