GETTING PICS OF FISH IS HARD!!!
they freak out and stuff.

more detail

Heres a little update on EXACTLY how me and my group members take care of our fish from store to classroom.

Take the fish home in the bag, don't forget to ask from stress coat from Petco, the fish are able to die from stress. At Pet Kingdom and PetSmart, they provide it for you most of the time.

The fish can't last in the bag long, but make sure you have the tank running for at least 24 hours and everthing including the contidionting chemicals have already been put in the tank.

open the tank lid, and put the bag in the water. It should float. Leave fora bout 10-20 minutes, fish CAN die from temperature shock. It's important for the fish to adjust to the new tank and the tank temperature.

After 20 minutes has passed, use the next to transfew the fish. Make sure you keep them out of the water for no more than 3 seconds, they could die. Also make sure they don't flop out of the net, so transfer them over the tank. If they flop, make sure you get them in to the tank as soon as possible.

Fish aren't usually hungry after coming home, and they also need time to adjust to the new food. put a few flakes after about an hour in the tank, but don't expect them to eat it. If they do, that means they might be hungry and give them only 1 or 2 flakes.

By the end of the day, or at night, give them 4-5 flakes. small, if big only 1 or 2.
Do NOT keep the light on throughout the day, especially if it's not winter. If it's winter, keep it on. The light transfers heat to the tank, and if the water is warm (over 73 degrees) it can cause heart problems. keep the light on before you last see them, and make sure you turn it off when you first see them. Overnight, it can get too cold in the tank.

Stress?

Today,
I worked.
I worked alot.
I fed fish, I helped my friends with their projects. I researched. I set up for exibition. I finished everything at about 8 pm.. which reminds me, i have to eat sometime this century :) So basically, what's happening here, is I'm getting ready for exibition.


Good bye!

Yesterday & Today

Sorry about Non daily posts, and combined posts. I usually blog late at night, and sometimes the internet fails.

Today, May 15th, I did a little more research on our goldfish, and more preperation for exibition. Twomorrow, I plan to start one of our five things that come in addition to our interperative panel.

Yesterday, I spent the day preparing, printing, typing various things for our interperative panel. That night, I finished it, and it is ready for lamination.

Exibition Night is NEXT THURSDAY. So far, we are pressed for a deadline as we still have to paint out backdrop for our tank, because we decided that it was a little bit foolish and not needed for us to make a castle and actually put it in the water. Mr.Davis as well As Mr.Strong helped us find another option for a Mideveal Exhibit, and that was to make a background.

As far as our interperative panels, the younger one got biology of the organism, and the other information about your assigned civilization. I got our civilization, Charlemagne. A picture of it will be posted once it is laminated, and finished entirely.

We still have much to do, so I suppose it would be helpful to list them.

a) color/paint backdrop
b) one of the 5 additions to our interperative panel
c) buy plastic plants for the aquarium
d) final touches before exhibition
That's all I can say for tonight and these past two days. Thanks, and goodbye :)

Pictures & Information

Here are some pictures of the Fantail Goldfish.


A small baby fantail goldfish (that's what my fish look like currently)


Another picture. A really pretty fish this one is :)


This one is really really big! The fantail goldfish grow to about 6 inches. The average lifespan of a healthy goldfish is 6 years. This is a Fancy Goldfish, but they are full grown fantail goldfish. There is a less risk of Fancy Goldfish dying after being bought from a pet store, because they are almost full grown.

Monday thru Thursday

Today, and Yesterday, we were doing lessons.
Deffiently something you will hear about on our other blogs-
As I am updating this now, on Thursday, we still have not done our lessons.
But, I am happy to update and say that we have completed our quest for fantail goldfish!
You can telll them apart. Well, I can.
Anna- Has a long tail, and is the biggest fish.
Wittle Guy - The smallest and smartest fish, has no white and a reasonably small tail.
Small Fry- Has a white mouth that is always in an O shape.
Tuff Guy - The only normal fish- that's how I know him! He always is eating the rocks.
Wednesday, we went to the Zoo. Man, was that FUN! It was really hot though. We did alot of cool things, and learned about diffrent animals.

Today.

Today was boring. I am annoyed, please don't ask why.
I basically edited our lesson plan and what not.
WERE READY FOR TUESDAY!
BRING IT ON >:O

Half Day Wednesday

Oh fun (:
I'm almost out of school, so let's make this short.
Today, I finished my lesson pan.
Whopee. hehehe. The tank is now clear, and as for my fish tank at home,
let's just say wittle guy is messy. He throws up everything, he poops alot.
so we cleaned his little 1/2 gallon tank. Yknow, that's probably not healthy. I'm going to bring them in soon.. we have to figure out a weekend plan for feeding. he eats ALOT. haha no he eats very little but needs food 3 times a day. Wopeee. Alright, so everythings set up.

Peace B)

Yesterday :)

Sorry about not posting yesterday. Busy!!!!
We got a new tank, and a new filter thanks to mr davis.
That night, i went to petco and got dechlorination chemicals and 1 fish named wittle guy. ^-^
He was like.. crazy! he's at home in a beta bowl about 1/2 gallon and eating fish food, but confused and has a problem with staying underwater. Haha I was just holding summer's mouse, lola. (: But, yeah. I have a feeling the fish are going to live, but today we are going to set up the filter and add chemicals and prep for the fish. :)

Craig's List Miracle

Pauline came back today.
But, as soon as we were set free we got down to buisness. We found a 10 gallon fish tank as well as a filter for only 20 dollars, a bargain. We emailed the owner an offer, and we are yet to recieve an reply. More soon to come, but better to update now so I don't forget.
We have to buy gravel, like 10 pounds. WOW! Anyway, that's it. More later
Comment?

Hm

Pauline was sick today.
But thanks to Mr.Davis, I managed to snag a tank. It's dirty, but whatever [: Be grateful for what you have, you know? Especially after seeing that American Idol Gives Back thing yesterday. Ahh.. well I did more research and elaborated on our lesson plan today. And yknow, thats pretty much it. (:

I am also happy to say we did very well on our skit!We did very very well! I loved it. It was awesome!

Comment?

Frustration?

Wow. I never expected frustration at this point.
But whatever, we did our skit today and It went awesome! The other group kind of messed up our little song. But that's ok. Today, I also wrote a bunch of notes. Or yesterday. I forget. It is for our lesson plan. I wrote it entirely on my own, using the notes I had already printed. Pauline is supposed to type it. That's all folks!

Split!

Yesterday, we made a plan for our Crocodile Hunter Presentation, part of one big project, Zoomanities. Some members of our team were distracted very easily, which made it hard for us to explain our ideas, and we had constant interuptions and complaints, which weren't nessesary. Today, we were rehearsing our plan, and we had props and everything, but still, those members of the team were wining, complaining, and not being cooperative. So, we eventually decided to have 2 skits presenting 5 facts each ( 10 was our original plan ). Not long after, theyre group (Pauline, Hunter, Jose, Matt F, and Dani who was absent) came up to us and started complaining about having the low end of facts and what not. They also explained they didn't want to do research tonight and that they wanted to do "The facts that they wrote". We made many suggestions, and eventually got in to an argument. Then, luckily, Mr.Davis stepped in and gave many of the suggestions that we had already given them. But, if they want to listen to him and not us thats perfectly alright because we got it sorted out. Later, Hunter and Matt apologized.

More Twomorrow..

Up and running!

Zoomanitites is up and running. I'm thinking about switching my personal account to this email, I don't know yet. Anyway, well.. welcome! Comment or else (:
