Hey Mike, thanks for the correction, guess i'm starting to lose it at my age, at least thats what my students say! I have seen this fish available locally in Seattle recently. Maybe you should visit, pick some up, and give a program for the GSAS.That would be great! -----Original Message----- From: Mike & Diane Wise [mailto:apistowise@bewellnet.com] Sent: Wednesday, December 08, 1999 12:02 PM To: apisto@majordomo.pobox.com Subject: Re: unexpected fry Dave, Just a friendly little note. Rasbora maculata, the Dwarf Rasbora, is not a characoid. It is actually a Cyprinid, more closely related to Barbs. I've always wanted some, but have never seen them offered in my area. They should make good dither fish if the dwarfs don't eat them.
