	How about chlorine/chloramine treatment?  I don't know what your
water supply is like.  Wright commented on this earlier....

	It seems possible, in view of this bit..

	.. that they starved.  My SAE's are first at the trough for any
food that goes in, but if you don't have algae, and the other fish grab
the food, it might be that SAE's in poor condition from the store would
never get to eat.

	I can give another (store) name for SAE's - Foxy Ladies.  I went
away to check what they were, and by the time I got back the price had gone
up!
