The Fish Are Going Down

Every day at least one fish is going to the bottom of the tank. The fish are getting weaker and weaker as the weeks go bye. They are collecting at the bottom like sardines in a can. There are about ten fish on the bottom. We think that these fish are dying and the water is getting worse and worse every day.

On The Ground and Cleaning Water Trouble

Oh, No! More bad news! : ( There are many salmon on the bottom of the tank. That means that either the salmon are really injured or that THEY ARE DEAD! Also we think its because of the nitrite being too high. It is so sad to see them like this. ( I think one needs a chiropractor). The ammonia is low. omg what is going to happen in the next few years? I hope we can release them later in the year. On the other hand while Mrs. Miller was cleaning the water in the tank she accidentally sucked up a salmon  and his fin got ripped up.

We have lost about 15 salmon in the last week because the fish have been getting sucked into the filter. One fish died today from the filter.Another fish died today as well.

One day we were in the science lab doing are usual stuff and then Ryan found that there was a dead fish in a

container.It was shriveled and deformed because it was left out in the air to long after we took it out. So then we displayed it and it got a lot of attraction. We said R.I.P.F. rest in peace fishie.

The Toilet Miracle

The Toilet Miracle 

Our salmon continue to lie down and are not able to move. Some salmon are still breathing but barely because the nitrite is too high. So we had to flush some of them down the toilet. After we plopped them into the toilet, some came alive  again! Unfortunately we can not move the toilet water into the tank and our salmon are vigorously suffering! So far we have lost over 10 salmon today.

:( Hopefully they will have a good time in fishy heaven. Once they were put in the toilet they seemed much more happy. Soon someone will have to do something to the tank!     

The Filter Strikes Again

The Filter Strikes Again 

The filter has attacked more fish, leaving some dead and a lot injured. About 3 fish had died from the filter just like the last report. The filter is dangerous for BIG and small fish. Today about 11 fish got stuck in the filter. Fortunately none died but many injuries. These injuries can cause problems in the future. The filter has almost killed even more fish, sadly we have had to FLUSH many of them because of the filter. And we just saw a fish stuck under the filters best friend (THE ROCK) DUN! DUN! DUNNNNNNNNNN! But we got him out. The filter caused the salmon tails to get stuck in the filter but we used a net to get them out of the filter.. 

                                                                     Salmon Plague

             Gulp! Gulp! Salmon have been mysteriously descending to the bottom of the tank lying on their side gasping for air. Our class has lost 13 salmon because of this. Some get their strength to get back up, but eventually if they don't their life could end at the bottom. They may just do it to catch their breath after racing around the tank. We don't really have a clue why it's happening for sure. Will we ever figure out what's going on with the salmon?
