 I had planned all week to transfer what was left of 
my first Blue Ram spawn (23 fish, 5 wks old) to a larger tank.  These were 
the ones fortunate enough to survive a heater malfunction.  The larger tank 
had been cycled, cleaned and the water parameters almost identical. 
I put my net in the tank and it appeared that 
I scared them to death.  More than half started darting around the tank, 
twitching and going belly up.  I quickly caught them and 
transfered them to their larger tank.  Some revived in the new tank, but 6 
did not.  Since then, I've lost another 8 which accounts for all the fish 
that behaved strangely. 
Has anyone else experienced this? 
Can I start this day over?
