RE: Baby rams starting to float

["Beaudry, Kyle : SEN" <KBEAUDRY@SEN.PARL.GC.CA>]

Ten gallon, cycled well before fry went in, raised A. cacatuoides fry just
before Rams.
Before sleep they drop to the bottom, lose buoyancy control, look emaciated,
and ultimately belly-up.
I will try your suggestion at removing some of the larger ones. The LFS said
they wanted them at 3/4 of an inch anyway.
That should get rid of at least fifteen of them.
Thanx for the advice.
