Re: [GSAS-Member] live food cultures and auction item request?

["Clifford Miller" <clifford@clevergeek.com>]

Bette,

That site has quite a selection...  I'd definitely be interested in buying
some identified samples from you once you have some to share. My daphnia
cultures seem to be doing pretty well, but it would be fun to know exactly
what species I was culturing.

On a side note, if anyone has extra ameca splendens they were considering
bringing to the auction, please do.  I keep looking in the shops, but
haven't seen any for sale.  I have one, but it would be great to be able
to get a colony going.

Cliff
