Well, we just couldn't wait any longer. We let the fish loose on Thursday, December 9th from the net breeder and they quickly adjusted to "free" life in the tank with the other set of fry. Many fish are actively feeding at the top of the tank, and fry are getting fed small amounts several times a day. From all accounts, we still should have about 600 fry between the two sets, even though we have allowed all of the misformed fry to continue until they perish on their own. One of our two headed fish is still living, and it is a daily routine to look and see if he is still ok.
Today, December 13th our chiller arrived back from Tradewinds, even though school was cancelled for the third time in the last 8 days. We just can't seem to get away from the lake effect snow showers here in Butler County! Chiller is plugged in and running, and it is hoped to transfer fish over to the room tank early this week. It just seems a lot emptier in the room without the trout in there!
