During these snow days, I and my class are so thankful for our automatic feeder. Instead of worrying about if our trout are okay, we know they are doing fine.
When we tested our water on Tuesday, the nitrite level was at 0 parts per million, while the nitrate levels were at 0.25 parts per million. The nitrites eventually turn into nitrates. They are both harmful to the fish at higher levels. I change the tank water every Thursday (which is another reason I'm so happy I've been getting so many Trout Team applications!!!), so I'm anxious to see what the ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate levels will be on Monday. I think they'll be fine, but I think we should start graphing our results to see if we notice any trends.
