Yeah I've been using them and washing real well. The two stores I know close that have them go through a lot of them. I can actually call the one store a day before he places his order if I want a larger quantify and he just adds it to his order. Nice that way. I also saw what Amazon Queen said yesterday about the continued running of the RO waste water over them. Not a bad idea when not in the fridge. I usually wash what I have well everyday. Don't even want to see any junk and usually don't thanks Mike ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is the Apistogramma mailing list, apisto@listbox.com.
