Re: Hatching times

[Mike & Diane Wise <apistowise@bewellnet.com>]

Warmer temps produce more male (except A. caetei). I'll say it again. 
Everyone, buy Römer's book! You'll waste more money on dead dwarfs, 
messed up breeding attempts, etc. without the book than it costs to buy 
the book. And no, I don't make a commission of his book sales. ;-) It's 
just that good.
