Gonna miss em :(

We recently found out that at the end of the nine weeks we will no longer be taking care of our fish. Ms.Wood told us that it's to expensive and that we are only going to get to have our fish for nine weeks. Our beta fish Tyrone is going to be greatly missed he is one of the most awesome fish ever and he looks really cool. I'm really sad that we have to get rid of them....we're all gonna miss you Tyrone you're seriously the man.

Assessing a pond or lake

In order to assess a pond or lake u first need to observe it. If u can observe a problem u can then use that information to fix the given problem how ever if you do not observe anything u can then test ammonia and nitrate. If the ammonia and nitrate are at levels that are bad u can then take necessary steps to fix that. After that if needed you can use the electronic test kit where it will tell u many different things about the lake or pond. That is how u assess a lake or pond

Since starting this project I have learned many new interesting facts. I never new that when keeping fish in an aquarium you have to change your water all the time. I never knew anything about ammonia and nitrate and that's it can affect your fish if not dealt with accordingly. I also never knew that chlorine kills fish and that you must dechlorinate your water all the time.

We set up our aquarium by putting water and plants in it. We also added some cool looking rocks and a really cool looking skull to it as well. We had some problems moving it after we put the water in it because it got so heavy but other than that we really had no problems. We solved this problem by taking some water out and then moving it around.

Our aquarium has changed a lot since we first started. We have grown algae on the side of our tank. At first we dint have that problem but after we stared to feed our fish they started pooping and peeing.We had over fed our aquarium but now it is clean after we cleaned it. We do not have a ammonia problem any more but at first we had a problem with that. We added one fish to our tank after Helga died. The most challenging part was maintaining our ammonia levels at 1 and below. I would not want to keep our tank at home. It would be to much work maintaining it and i would probably let my fish die. The most interesting part of the class so far was when the bass at the whole gold fish in one bite.
