Salmon Fry
The quality of the water this week is still clear, temperature of the water is 50 degrees. The pH level of the water is about 7.5 which is neutral on the pH scale, example of neutral would be the constancy of milk. The salmon are still ¼ inches. They are a dark forest green color on the top half and a bright sliver color on the bottom half. More than half of the fish are eating off the surface. There are still some of the fish eating at sub-surface or at the bottom of the tank. The current size of the fish food is still the size of coffee grounds. Most of the fish are swimming normal now, but a few of the fish are still swimming sideways or straight up. We also have lost about 10 to 15 fish over the weekend. Overall, we estimate to be around 150-175 fry remaining.
