Hi Tim,

I realize that what I have been reading has´nt been so much about fish but
because of my interest in fish and nature thats why I am here reading this
list and I wish it was more about fish. Where I live we do not have the
possibility to go out in the nature to catch our aquarium-fish as some
others may. We have to trust in others who can do that and then share the
fish and the knowledge with us. Thats why I wanted to have more about fish
! I also appreciate a good joke and a smile but some of the things I don´t
have a clue about the meaning. But of course the Aussies must be strange
since they live uppsidedown . Still no offers of the species that I asked
for and I think it is a little sad. Some have emailed me and asked for eggs
from my P. gertrudae and I will be glad to send some eggs when it´s not so
cold .
My I.werneri are the red ones. I have never seen the yellow ones . I used
to breed them in the mid-80s and it was the red ones at that time to.
I also breed P.signifer with the short dorsalfin but would like to have the
one with the long fin. Is it any one out there that would like to trade or
sell some eggs or fry ?
Best regards to You all.
Hans Andersson
