Re: Ram fry

["Helen Burns" <helen.burns@bigwig.net>]

Vern,
Congratulations, I would say you won't be far wrong with your estimate of
200 fry.  A while back my rams were successful and each brood of fry reared
were 150 - 180. The female was wild caught and the male tank bred.  I have
mentioned this on the list before but I found the fry initially to be very
slow growers.  My fry were left with both parents till they were 7 weeks
old.  Tank 18 inx18inx 7in tall.
