In a DO problem you'd lose your largest fish. It would stand to reason that the smallest, least active would survive. They don't need as much oxy as the larger fish or the faster moving fish (higher metabolisms, greater oxy requirement).
The first fish to die were small ones. Followed by all of the larger fish and some more smaller ones during the day while they were at work. It does sound like a low DO issue, but again the ACJr tells him that things were nice and steady. No spikes, drops, nothing.

Hey Keith, I tried fixing that URL for ya, but couldn't.
The trees were BEAUTIFUL this morning on my way out to drop off the kids. Completely crusted with glistening ice. I wish I had my camera with me (and some extra time). It was just stunning. I know it caused a lot of damage and power...
I'd like to thank everyone who ran for office this year. We hope to make this a great year for NJRC. I'd also like to thank everyone who voted. Our DAL - C election ran very close with two great candidates. The club would have been just as lucky to have either of them come out on top. We had a...
