Baby We Were Born To Swim!
Our fish have flown the nest... or the egg basket to be exact. Two of our little alevin have begun to swim out of the egg basket and are eating. They needed to be fed immediately and have eaten for about five minutes now. They can't be overfed, so we'll try again in the afternoon. Hopefully by then, some more of their brothers and sisters will be swimming around eating the starter food as well. However, if the rest of their trout family can't make it out of the egg basket in a few days, they may not make it. Survival of the fittest will take over once the fish start eating their food regularly.

Wow! We can't believe how fast they're growing up :) Thanks for posting a video--it was cool to see their progress!
ReplyDeleteWe were wondering:
- how big are the trout going to get?
- are they going to change into rainbow colors?
- how long do they have to eat the starter food?
- where are they going to be released when they are full grown?
Thanks for sharing...keep up the good work!!
@Barnard - Very, very, very good questions! I'm going to assign kids to answer them, so be checking back soon!
ReplyDeleteWow, you guys are taking such good care of these babies! I am so proud of you. I also talked to Mr. Chavez today at my Assistant Principal's meeting and he was so impressed with how much you all seemed to know already about the trout! What a great opportunity for you to shine and learn through this experience:)
