Re: [GSAS-Member] "Mamfensis Panchax" - sigh..

I gave away all of my killies when I made room for the dart frogs, but
thought I'd chime in to say that in the past I've received absolutely
stunning killies from Matt, Dave, and Susan (although the ones from Susan
may have originally also come from Dave?) in the club.

Not sure who's keeping what anymore, but if no one has any recent fry to
sell, I also had great luck with killies down at A Place for Pets,
typically Kevin sells them as pairs, so it's a great way to try to start
reproducing your own if you're into that.  Most fish ship pretty well, but
sometimes it's nice to be able to pick out the exact fish for optimum
color and health...
