Alevins Galore!!

First thing Monday everyone wanted to check on the alevins!
Some had come out of the basket and were wriggling about on the bottom of the tank - this is a 'nono' at this stage as it will make them use up their energy (and therefore their yolksac) to quickly!

We got in touch with Mark and he dropped by with a tiny net and rescued them from the bottom of the tank and popped them back into the basket.

He used tweezers from our first aid kit to pick out the dead eggs (five). Sahria and Sophie took them around to St Vincent Room and Trafalgar Room for them to have a look.

Below is a picture of all our alevins.

  1. When I clicked on the photo it got really big and I could see their eyes and bodies.

    There are heaps of them.
