                 RJ:

         I am raising a batch of young FUS now and have no problems with 
the young.  The parents never developed any disease .  They were wonderful 
fish and lived a full and healthy life.  I have more eggs put away and will 
have more fish available in a few months should you wish to try them 
again..................
