Hello all,
        A cheap and effective stain can be obtained using methyline blue
solution that can be found in all pet shops that deal with fish. Be
careful with the stuff, it is permanant and fast. Methyline blue is a
standard dye used in treating the fish disease ich and also for treating
fungus on eggs etc... it shouldn't cost more then a dollar. The cheap
stuff is same as the expensive stuff as far as staining ability.
regards
        Andrew
