Over the past few weeks, the alevin have developed into small fry. They have finished feeding on their yolk sacs and have been given starter food. Today, the small fry were allowed to swim over the basket and into the tank. They hurriedly left the confines of their previous home and explored their new environment. Of the original 488 eggs, 215 are currently surviving. As time moves along, we’ll watch the trout grow until they reach about 5.7 cm. They will continue to be fed the food and roam the cool waters of the tank.
