Really cool news! lol

We are doing a program in our class called TIC, or Trout in the Classroom! We are getting the trout eggs in the next few days. We have to be SOO careful b/c they usually don't make it. We have to do every other day water changes and we have like 3 filters to keep the tank crystal clear. There's also a chiller, and we have foam board all over the tank so it stays completely dark (the eggs can't be exposed to light for more than about 15 minutes at a time :O). I have a feeling I'll be one of the most active helpers! lol I'll keep everyone posted. Oh, and no flash photography is aloud, so probably no pics srry!

We got them on tues! Just reporting now 'cause I didn't have time yesterday. We possibly have over 300, which was the amount we were supposed to get. They weeded out the dead ones and we were looking at them under a microscope. More news later maybe!

The eggs are currently in the eyed stage, and they look like this:

Only they are brook trout, so they will look like this when they're adults:
