Both J.R. & Bob suggest they are small. Would this be along the line of
rainbowfishes, dwarf gourami or Ep. annulatus?
Understood also is that the size of the fry is not as important as the size
of the mouth. Lampeyes look like they should be able to handle bigger food
items than they can.
How about a bit of APR all stirred up and a gob of snails to clean up?
In addition to greenwater would mosquito eggs rafts on top of 1-2" of water
work? Or would fry ever rise even that high in the water column?
Has anybody ever tried cyclopeese (sp?) with natives?

Hummm, who can be moved. ;)
Thanks again and all the best!
