fry transportation

we have been so flat out, we barely had time to reply to all your messages/emails. Our sincere apologies.

Anyway, getting to the news.....it has been proven very challenging to transport small (2 weeks old) fry. AM just told us that more than 1/3 of his portion of the fry died by the time he got home :( And he was just living 10 mins away driving! We gather it could have been the bumps along the way, cause these fry couldn't take such shaking. He and us did consider that perhaps walk "slowly" with the container (tank) would help the survival but slow walk would easily take a good half hour...anyway, at least there are a good number of them survived, so that's the good news.

Tomorrow DZ will come and pick the rest of the fry (we split the tank into 2 takers). So hopefully she'll take the challenge on walking slowly with the container :) Though she lives further than AM, so she may not want to do that....hmmmm maybe she just has to drive very slowly, weekend isn't so bad for driving slower :)
