Fry Update: 1/20/2012

The Salmon Fry
Does the water look clear or murky? The quality of the water is clear today. The temperature of the water is 49 degrees; the PH levels of the water are 7.6, which is really good we want it at that level. The Salmon are getting bigger, the size of the Salmon are approximately an inch and a half long. They have a bigger body structure than before because they are eating now. The Salmon are eating mostly off the surface of the fish tank, that’s good because that means they are learning fast. The fish food still looks like ground up coffee because they are at an early age and still are adapting to their surroundings and they can’t eat big chunks of food because their bodies can’t handle it. The approximate number of fish left in the tank is about 130 fish still in the tank. Any special features noticed about the fish, or environment? Yes, the fish are more hyper and fast, and they are learning to adapt to the environment.
