Swim-up Fry

Pic with new underwater digital camera. Should make for some interesting shots this year in the trout tanks!!!

Tank in the classroom is doing great - fish have been actively feeding since before Thanksgiving. On average, they are getting fed 3-4 times daily. We do have some mortality taking place - the fry that don't fix their spines, etc. I have been leaving them in the tank until they perish.

The lab tank is a different story. Fish have been placed in the gravel since before Thanksgiving, but are not coming to the top to feed yet. I am guessing this is due to the lower water temps in the tank, but am starting to get a little worried. I have raised the temp the last several days to 57 to try and get the metabolism going.
