November 9

Most of the eggs have hatched with slight mortality.  They look pretty good so far with just a few "spinners" evident as of now.  Looking forward to the second set of eggs coming this week - expecting most of them to be fry already.

November 3rd

Eggs arrived yesterday during 5th period, separated during 6th period.  300 viable eggs placed in the tank, with 68 dead eggs in the bag.  The eggs were placed in a brood basket until they reach the swim-up stage to help with removal of dead eggs/fry.  Several fry have already hatched out as well.

So we have the tank up and running in the room with a very good week-long test with some fathead minnows.  Chiller seems to be working well and all levels are good.  Brookies are to be delivered today or tomorrow, so we are anxiously awaiting them.
