Hi Chris
I've never ran into the problem you're having with your furcatus. But
then you know my water conditions :`)
If you want I could send up some new stock or eggs when we get out of
this deep freeze. I'm not really sure how easy it is to get things
across to your side of the border, but I'm sure you can let me know
how.
I'ld actually like to get some of your stock also and see if a
crossing between our stocks would reduce the number of infertile eggs
I see in my mops.
