Re: ram fry, sigh

Tom.................That is super interesting.  Could you see any difference
in the rams from the two sites?  I've often wondered about the difference in
the "German Blue Ram" that I think is more bull-doggish in body morph than
what sometimes is brought in as wild rams.  How far apart were the two
different sites.  What were the species of fish with them?  How about the
plants and ground cover of the two sites.  How many did you bring back and
how did they do?

I really envy you the chance to see where the ram comes from...........let
us know.....what a story!
