Re: Dicrossus maculatus

[Randy or Deb Carey <carey@spacestar.net>]

About a month ago I posted on this list some statistics of a few of my
successes.  In general, a quite low pH, aged water (relatively high nitrates),
presence of a few tetras to keep the female in a "defensive" mode, feedings with
bbs and live black worms.  Perhaps I ought to go back to that e'mail, copy what I
wrote, and post it to my web site.

$60 for an adult pair is a good price.  I took bids for a couple ot bags of fry
and the going price came to $12.50 per fish for two-month-old fry.  I have more
that are just now at two-months if anyone is interested.
