Trout Starting To Feed

Wednesday December 10 2008

Today we satrted to feed them and they are starting to get used to the light. We made a new FRY FEEDING chart to help us monitor their growth and behavior

About 25 trout have swam over the net and more are swiming over every minute! This means they are ready to begin foraging for food.

We'll start feeding them the size 0 food 1.5grams per day (broken up into 3-5 feedings)

2 trout have died - on average about 1-2 a day (still a much higher survival rate than they would have in the wild)

Today's test results:

Tempature- 50.1

pH- 7.2-7.4 (just right!)

Ammonia- .10 ppm (lower than 2 weeks ago)

Nitrate- 1 ppm

Nitrite- 0 ppm
