Bunny Princess meet Mater!

 

Good news, we have not lost any trout so far from this new batch. It is amazing how the trout are growing! All except one tiny one that never seems to get any food because he is  chased away by the larger fingerlings. We noticed he was laying on the bottom not looking well last week so... We concluded that it was not getting enough to eat and the students begged me to  put it in the basket with Bunny Princess to allow it a better chance to get some food during feeding. After about an hour of chasing him around the tank and enlisting Mrs. Hoover to assist me in capturing him, we placed him in the red basket with Bunny Princess.

 One of the students named him Mater! So we introduced Bunny Princess to Mater. They appear to be good room mates so far!  Bunny Princess has grown and could more than likely hold her own in the big tank, but the students want to keep her separate so they know which one she is. She is larger than Mater. Hopefully, he will catch up before release day on May 16.
