Even though we had the program last year, it is still so exciting to witness each new stage of life. When we came in this morning, we had about twenty trout swimming to the top of the tank to look for food so we decided to put a little food in. We want to resist the temptation to over feed because this can cause problems with the water quality. We have about twenty trout that still have the yolk sac. They still remain in the breeder basket. The majority of the fish have settled into the big tank hiding in the pebbles on the bottom.
Update on the Siamese Trout: We discovered that we actually had two sets of Siamese twins. However, apparently one yolk sac will not support two fry as one of each of the attached Siamese fry has died. The dead fry is still attached to the yolk sac of the other healthy fry. It will be interesting to see what happens as the yolk sac continues to be absorbed.
Trout Journal:
12-14-09 Chase: It's almost Christmas and about 3 quarters of the fish have survived. Now hopefully they'll come to the top for us to see on Christmas. MERRY CHRISTMAS FISH!!
