I wonder how hardy these are and if the care specifications for light consumption right down the middle between the 2 types. Longevity for clams are still somewhat hit or miss with these smaller specimens.Robert Craig Baker says:
I have enjoyed your magazine very much over the years. A few years ago I received the issue with new rainbows with an article with Gary Lang. This got me started again collecting some that I had kept in the past and many new species. Well some of the first bows I received had a whitish blemish with spread over the course of a year and wiped out all of that type of fish. I have had local water problems witch I have addressed. Five years later I still have problems in so.e tanks and none in others. I have been at my wit's end. Well out of desperation I thought I could ask someone at Amazonas if they might be able to put me in contact with someone who might be able to steer me in the right direction to correct my problem. Thanks,Bob BakerEric Cohen says:
Wonderful article, and so well deserved to a great guy. Congrats again Walt.....it's a lifetime of fun, and passion....what a life:)CJ says:
