Hello all

I'm looking for information regarding the incubation times of
Pseudomugil mellis and gertrudae at a range of temperatures (19-
27oC). I'm also looking for odd on survival through the post (approx
10 day trip).

Also, I have been asked by a contact in Portugal to send some
rubrostriata eggs. What is the procedure? Do I just mop spawn and
then pop the semidry mop in the post or must it be shipped with
water?

How sensitive are 'bow eggs to compounds like acriflavine, meth
blue etc... particularly General Tonic by Tetra? A full dose will burn
my killi eggs to death! I find a 1/2 dose works well. Any comments
here.

For those of you contemplating using Baby Star, it is very good the
trick is to keep the food suspended with strong ciculation. a friend
managed to even raise the few werneri fry he got before the
parents popped off. My boesemani fry really liked it.

Thanks
