Another step up in getting our fish room going.
Fry are on the main system in the section we have designated for fry and juveniles. These 8 tanks have about 400 fry in them. As they get bigger they will be distributed into more tanks. On average the tanks that size will hold 18 adult fish max. Right now they don’t take up any room we have 30-60 fry in each, depending on how many were born at one time.
As you can see the fry are very small. We have a fish food that is very fine that we can feed them. The goal is to have them on a self-sustaining culture with rotifers, once we get a healthy culture of those going. They can’t eat the juvi or adult food as the pellets are too big for their baby jaws.
My boss is out today getting more fish for the system from their old lab. There are going to be new babies to add to these guys and some adults that will go onto our quarantine system. Some huge growth this week onto our new system!
