[Killietalk] Fish Survival Rates

[Joel Antkowiak <mrkillie at optonline_net>]

It is now almost 3 weeks since the NEW, and I am happy to say that I have not lost any fish from that event. A while back there was discussion about fish survival rates from the conventions. I too had some losses from the convention. Why the difference? I think I even bought some tougher to keep species at NEW than I did at the convention. The convention fish had better food available (live skeeters, blackworms and daphnia, whereas the NEW fish have only had FD stuff and blackworms). The acclimation process I use is the same. Granted, I bought more at the convention (probably twice as much), but I would think the survival rate would be similar. I even bought N&RSC stuff at NEW, which I never do at the convention. Hmmmm.
