Re: A. Cruzi spawn? or not? NOT :-(

Helen thanks for the tip.  The 4" were the 
smallest at Home Depot.  After I put them in
the tank they looked kind of big.  I will get
some smaller ones.  The other day I bought
a cocanut and am going to make two igloo's
out of it.  That should provide lots of shelter.


Thanks again.  Many people on the list
have been very helpful to me.
