Re: [GSAS-Member] Killifish for sale, or free (read on)

Robert,

There are tons of great killie web sites.  I'd start with www.aka.org, 
and the affiliate sites linked off of the aka site.  Also Google any 
species you are interested in to get lots more info on them.

Golden Wonders are plant spawners (if my memory serves).  I've never 
kept them myself.  You might just make up some spawning mops (from 
yarn), and forget about silk/fake plants.  The idea is to have something 
for the eggs to stick to, and be hidden by.  Fake/silk plants will 
provide the first, but not really the second.

If you come to the local killie club meeting in Feb., I'm sure one of 
the other members can give you plenty of advice on the golden wonders. 
In addition, there is likely to be some plant spawners that are even 
nicer, available for purchase in the auction.
