RE: [GSAS-Member] School Science Project

["Monica H" <ninita@hotmail.com>]

Hi Trish, I could donate some Jewel Cichlid juvies (egg layers) if your 
daughter wants?  They breed as easily as convicts.  I have one that's about 
2 1/2-3 inches, the others are around 1 1/2-2 inches.  She should get a pair 
if I give her 6-8 or so.
