//The trout eggs have arrived and our class has sorted the viable eggs from the non-viable eggs. We worked in small groups to count and place the eggs in the "fry basket". Our current count is approximately 434 viable eyed-eggs. We discussed the early developmental stages of the trout from green eggs to eyed eggs and we are looking forward to learning more about the changes that will take place in the next few weeks. Water quality testing will start November 4, 2011.//

//Last year's class was able to successfully release 24 3-4 inch brook trout and our goal is to better their number by at least 10 or more!//


 * As a note: We are still using the 35 gallon spare tank and are actively searching the market for a 55 gallon tank. Just waiting to hear back from Petco as to when their next dollar a gallon tank sale will be available.

Pictures of our progress will soon follow! Thanks for keeping up with us.

Updated egg count is currently 401 viable eggs after 6 days in the tank and our one week count.
