Our rainbow fry are growing fast! Most are 3/4 to 1 1/4 inches already. There's a good coating of algae on the tank, but that's OK because our chemistry is good. We also sprouted watercress and added it to the baskets. As the plants grow, they use up nitrates in the fish waste so we don't have to change the water as much.

Pennsylvania's statewide Trout In the Classroom (TIC) program is made possible through a unique partnership between the Pennsylvania Council of Trout Unlimited (PATU) and the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission (PFBC). This partnership provides curriculum resources, workshops for teachers and program partners, technical support, trout eggs and food, and grants.
