Fish are growing well still - will probably need to get second tank up and running in the next few weeks.  Water quality is still ok - we have been changing about 5 gallons a week.  Took the filter covers off of the power head and the main filter this week, as the fish have grown enough now not to worry about getting sucked in the filters.

Fish are progressing nicely this year.  Tank water parameters have been excellent - we change out about 5 gallons of water once a week just to remove excess food and waste from the bottom of the tank.  Fish are being fed about 6-8 times a day.  Only issue we think we are having is major cannibalism, as many of our smaller fish seem to be disappearing.

Trout seem to be doing well - we are losing about 1 fry a day, which is not too bad.  However, we think that there is some cannabalism taking place over the weekends with some of the smaller trout.  We have bumped up the food to size 1, and they are taking well to it.  Looking at setting up tank 2 in the very near future.

Happy New Year everyone.  The trout made it through Christmas break in fine fashion, only losing 3 fish over the 10 day holiday.  Fish seem to be doing well, with most fish actively feeding at the surface.  We have had to do one 5 gallon water change to date, just to help clear our some of the excess feed and fish waste.  Looking forward to bumping up the food size in the near future.
