Re: overfeeding fry question

["Max Gallade" <mgallade@hotmail.com>]

Hi Jerry,
Actually the crap  on the bottom can kill very small fry i.e. Ram fry.
I just cleaned one of my hatching tanks and found some tiny dead fry in the 
uneaten BBS ,microworm leftovers. I guess they suffocated in that stuff. 
Somebody suggested snails. I'll try that next in one of my tanks when the 
fry is  freeswimming. I don't want the snails to eat any unhatched eggs.
You live in a very nice city:). We really enjoyed our short trip to your 
hometown. The restaurant was unbelievable good! We also stopped at Longwood 
gardens on the way home. What a treat.
Take care
Max
