Wow, sure didn't see that mentioned in Fritz's post,
there is no mention of cyprinid there. Perhaps it was
implied or Fritz's post, which begins this thread, or
it wasn't the actual beginning of the thread :). If
you mean cyprinid, then thats a good martini party
question for us fishheads. I would think the real
answer is open to *specalation*.
