Today, a good question came up. Why do we still keep them in the net? They are getting bigger and looking good!
It is recommended that we keep them in the basket until a time between Thanksgiving Break and Winter Break. While they are looking good, we want the students to see them and to make sure that they are eating. We can monitor better this way. In nature, they'd be hiding out still, so in order to make sure that they all will get food, we keep them together in a small area. When we do let them out into the tank, we'll put a little screen over the filter to make sure that they don't get sucked up into it because they are so small.
We love seeing them every day, so the net works well for now. Stay tuned, they'll be out and about soon!
