Re: Baby rams starting to float

Kyle,

What size is your rearing tank?  When I've had major losses, it was usually 
due to overcrowding.  You might consider moving some of the larger fry to 
another tank thereby spreading out the bioload.  What are some other 
symptoms prior to losing a fry?  Good luck.
