Water Chemistry Update

Since school has been canceled for the week, I stopped in to check water chemistry and do a water change. pH was a bit high at 8, as was ammonia at .25, so I did a 6 gallon water change. The fish seem to be doing fine. Mrs. Holt, our building service worker, has been feeding the fish during her daily building checks. THANK YOU MRS. HOLT!

Released into the tank!

Anticipating the tremendous snowstorm that would hit our region, we released the trout into the tank on Friday, Feb. 5. Students captured the event on flip video.

Population Thriving!

Our trout are swimming, have absorbed their yolk sacks and are eating size "0" food twice a day. Students are changing 3 gallons of water daily, and water chemistry is stable. Students are excited to see the fish swimming and feeding. So far, so good!
