Re: [GSAS-Member] cpd's (and nerite snails...)

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

My fry seem a little more outgoing than the adults, but the fry don't have
the fantastic red fringing that the adult male do. I never see my adults
out and about in their heavily planted 10 gallon.  Never.  This reminds me
that I should move my adults again, both to confirm their continued
existance, and to see if I can get another batch of fry.  Mine are ninjas
when it comes to picking off their offspring...

Not to hijack the subject, but while I'm posting I thought I'd mention
that I placed an order today for some snails-- a few sulawesi varieties
and some "fancy" nerites for algae cleanup.  (red spotted and zebra --see
attached photos).  If anyone else is interested in picking up a few of
these, I ordered some extras- please mail me off-list.
