Salmon Rearing!


Today was extra exciting -  and not just because of the amazing storm!

Just after 1pm - right in the loudest part of the storm - Mark and Charmaine arrived with our salmon eggs!!!

The eggs are orangey pink and are in a small container. There are fifty of them.Mark left them in their container and tied it to the top filter tube with dental floss!





Mark covered the whole tank with a black plastic bag to protect the eggs from too much light.He also reset the temperature on the chiller to between 9 and 10 degrees.
Now we need to  peep at the eggs every now and then.  
In about a week we can start to expect some tiny hatchlings!!
