[Zbrafish] Re: high fat diet

[Caitlin Stewart-Swift]

Dear All,

               I would not recommend letting Drosophila maggots getting 
anywhere near a zebrafish facility.  Unfortunately I cannot recommend an 
alternative high fat feed, I can offer experience with a fly infested 
fish lab, which is highly unpleasant and almost impossible to correct. 
Hence why I would discourage flies.

Cheers and Best Wishes,
