Looking Good!


Mr. Dinkel was in today to check on our filter, and said everything looks good. Water chemistry is pretty stable. We haven't lost a fish in weeks! A new group of students will begin water testing next week. Mr. Loose sent this picture in of a mature female rainbow trout...beautiful!

Huge!





The trout are doing really well. We've only lost one in the last month. Water chemistry is, for the most part, stable. We are experiencing a nitrite spike, though. Students are researching to find out what we should do. So far, the water quality test team has determined that it may be due to over feeding. So, we're feeding them slightly less of the size 2 food.
