Is anyone gonna reply to this? Blue-Eyes are not my specialty and I haven't
played with em much. Also, I am curious to hear what some of y'all have to
say about this. :-)
As for Kiungas, don't hold your breath. AFAIK they are still not available
to the US hobby. I have been trying to work on this, but the friend of mine
who is a friend of the guy who has em all can't get him to share either.
:-(
P. mellis are supposed to be a bit of a bear to maintain over the long haul,
but I would love to give em a shot since I live in a place with ideal water
for them.
