Re: Mosquito Rafts

[Kate Breimayer <kate@munat.com>]

I read on another list that this was successful. The little @#!)(%*'s 
survive the winter outdoors in Minnesota... hey, how soon til someone 
sells them on aquabid? Anyone want to bet? :)
I finally had Brian Perkins show me what they looked like and hatched a 
few in a cup, my fish rewarded me with tons of eggs. So now what I want 
to know is what is the irregular patch of black dot type egg raft, and 
what is the cone shaped egg case in my cultures? Guess it's time to 
break out a few jars and a microscope... I do have both bloodworms and 
mosquitoes going full blast here and nothing pleases me more than to 
capture and sentence them to death by killifish.
