Fry

Our trout are getting bigger and are in the stage where we call them Fry!  We are still keeping them in the basket for a couple of more weeks.

Feeding

Fish

The trout continue to grow and are almost ready to start swimming up.  We will start feeding them soon.

More Eggs Hatch!!!!

We have had more fish hatch!  Some will be "swimming up" to the top soon and we will be able to feed them.  Here is a link to the website that explains Trout in the Classroom.  It's our first year doing it in 5th grade and I hope to continue next year since I will better understand the process.
Here is a video and a picture.

Our egg basket!

Trout Egg Hatch

A video showing our eggs.  One or two have hatched. Once hatched they are called alevin.

Trout Arrival

Last week the Trout Eggs arrived in Mrs. Tully's classroom.  We will release the trout in the spring.
For the past couple of weeks, we have been cycling the tank and monitoring the ammonia, pH, GH, KH, nitrates, and nitrites.  The students have been collecting data which we are putting into a table.  We have also started collecting data to hypothesize when the fish will "swim up".
