Update

I went to school on the 22nd and fed the fish and changed the tank water.  All of the measurements were great, except for the pH level.  The ammonia was 0ppm, the nitrites and nitrates were also 0ppm, but the pH level read 8.8!  Then I realized that I had just fed the fish and that some of the food was probably tainting the pH level, so I took about 13 gallons out of the tank and measured again and got 8.2  Then, when I added the new water the pH went down to 7.4, which is a very acceptable level.  The temperature of the tank was 51.3 and the fish were very active!


I set up the automatic feeder and I hope that it works; I've heard stories of it not.  Mr. Geiman is going to check on them for us and call if there's a problem.  They are currently eating the food from the 1 batch, graduating from the starter food.  The biggest difference is in their appearance.  They are really starting to look like little fish now.  Their bellies are growing and you can start to see the silver scale pattern on their sides.  I can't wait for you all to get back to school and see the difference!  I will be up on the 29th to change the water again and will try to get some pictures on here.
