Re: [GSAS-Member] Mid-water fish?

[Susan Welenofsky <welenofsky@comcast.net>]

Yes, that's the one. Paul has a very large one. If you put lots of plants and 
get a male and female, they might spawn. Mine breed after a good meal of live 
white worms. The Celebes have been also. I don't have enough plants or tanks to 
move the parents and raise the fry, which like green water and rotifers. Maybe 
later on this summer.
