New Term: Fry-Q test

[Darax]

A Fry-Q test is a process that determines if a fry is smart enough to live. For instance when I do a water change, fry that cannot help but swim into the tube despite my best efforts fail the fry-q test. 

A new test I'm considering is a fry sized bridge between my community tank and my common goldfish tank. I have too many guppy fry, and I hesitate to sacrifice them to the goldfish myself. If the fry makes its own bad decision, that's on the fry.

I think this is how we get a race of hyper-intelligent fish people…

Sounds great!

Sort of the fish equivalent of "hey...hold my beer and watch this".

Add a protective goldfish cage at the end of the bridge so some of the fry have a chance to learn from their mistake.
