Cory, I use these in a pinch (like when eggs do not hatch). My fry will eat decapsulated bs but I guess its like us eating hamburger but prefering a steak. I have a mystery snail in the fry tanks to clean up left overs. Bottom line is I would suggest them to anyone to keep on hand. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is the apistogramma mailing list, apisto@majordomo.pobox.com.
