RE: cold tolerance. What about M.adspersa? I have had one in a pond that
probably gets down to 10C.
With regards to everything else.....whew.....I was worried as I had a tank
or two down to 16C and was worried.

RE: gertrudae swap....sure. Bruce, these fish are the Olive River ones.
They are probably F4/5s. I don't have them in planted tanks anymore so they
don't show much colour, but even when they did they were nice, but not
spectacular like the ones from Weipa. But yes, a swap no worries.

Actually, do you have any tips in raising Blue-eyes outdoors??
