Subj : Re: ach, ICH! To : All From : Keith J. Date : Tue Jan 27 2004 11:04 am I also read that ich parasites need light to reproduce, in a book on crustacea at the local university library. At the time I was trying to spawn crayfish in captivity, which turns out to be easy in an outdoor pond, but nearly impossible indoors. The book title is "Crustacean Reproduction" and it's published by the University of Wisconsin Press. Sorry, but I don't recall the author's name. Keith J.
