Week of December 7th

Interesting stuff going on right now. The fry in the lab tank have really started to come up and start eating, and water quality is fantastic. They seem to be doing really well, just a little behind the fish in the room tank.

The room tank has started to see some water quality issues. We had to change 5 gallons of water on both Tuesday and Thursday due to elevated ammonia levels. Our pH has been good, but our ammonia is reading about 0.75 ppm. I think the extreme number of fish in the tank and the fact that they are really eating is causing the issues. Lots of food = lots of waste. Hopefully we get the tank stabilized soon.

  1. When do you think we'll be moving the fry into the larger tank?

  2. The plan is to move them before Christmas break. I am waiting on a new filter to arrive, and then we will move them. Probably take an entire period!!
