Fat Fish

Our 37 little salmon are growing like crazy. Unfortunately another fish passed away having it's finale trip through the toilet pipes and up to fishey haven.   The salmon are starting to look a little, well... fat. We hope we can let them out in the stream soon.

Where Did they go

                                                                 Where Did they go

All the fish have been dieing for some odd reason. Are group thinks they have been dieing because a lot of the testing have been really high especially the ph. Right now we only have about 40 fish and we started at 200. Most of the fish have been dieing lately  for some reason. For some some reason all the fish are dieing why?

There are about 45 salmon left in the tank. About 150 fish have died over the time. Since the salmon are getting bigger less are dieing. The clean up crew has had to come in numerous times to take water out because the Nitrite is really high. Every day the clean up crew comes in and cleans out the water.

so the salmon do not die. The fish keep growing and growing.

Clean Tank

The tank is getting a whole lot better! On March 25 we emptied the tank,  added new water. Since we emptied the tank the chemicals in the water have gotten better, and tried different tactics. Though we are still a little worried about the tank but, we think the tank will be fine.

In Dangar

Oh No! The nitrite is up again! Right now we are sucking up the water to try to fix it. On the test strip not a lot of the colors match. We are trying to fix it we are sucking up half of the water hoping it will work. We don't want to lose any more. It worked but we sucked up one I mean somebody in our group sucked up one then somebody else  almost dropped the water filler in the tank.We had to do a lot of moping and mean alot.

New Water

New Water

  Danger! Danger! The Nitrite is to high! We must change the water! Quickly we must drain the tank and put new water in. Save the salmon before it is too late! 

Slowly the water drained out of the tank. It took three jugs of water to refill the tank. The tank is now full, we hope this will help the nitrite.    

Some of the salmon are growing but lots are dead, some are around three inches. Some are lying on their side and suffering. One of the fishes eyes are popping out of its head.
