To whoever it was that is leaving town this weekend- Call some local nurseries and find out who is dealing in pond plants and water gardens. Then make the rounds. They use stuff like Miracle Grow in their ponds and end up with nice blooms of hair algae. Find some, ask if you can take some home, then scoop it up in a jar. Take it home and put it in the tank. The fry will find the food they need in the algae. Bob Dixon ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is the apistogramma mailing list, apisto@listbox.com.
