I was figuratively patting myself on the back last week for my serendipitous great good fortune in having somehow inadvertently introduced Malaysian trumpet snails into one of my planted tanks.(That sentence reads like something Lilith would have said to Frazier if she would have an aquarium) ... Then I read that these snails eat apisto eggs at night while the mother fish sleeps...ARGHHHHH!!! Hence, I have been doing the Jacques Cousteau for the past three evenings, picking snails out of the gravel as they appear for their evening of feasting and frolicking on my defenseless apisto eggs. Sigh... G. Kadar getting the water changes done before A&E's Murder Mystery. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is the apistogramma mailing list, apisto@majordomo.pobox.com.
