KMH+ZF+Week+7

MONDAY 2/4/08 The fish were fed at 7:55 am and then I fed them again at 2:05 pm. Next, we came down here and Dr. L gave a lecture on particle physics and we had a discussion about our zebrafish mating patterns. We learned: to not completely change the water and to never change the filter and the water simultaneously, we also now know not to ever put the fish into water that has not yet been infested by bacteria. I also heard back from James and he said that he plans to bring us supplies by the end of this week. I have yet to hear back from Mr. Ben Davidson and the internet in the ZF lab is still down. This week, we plan to see if we can successfully breed, set up a brine shrimp hatchery, upload pictures to my wikipage, and to summarize several more chapters from the particle physics book. It is going to be a very busy week!

TUESDAY 2/5/08 The fish were fed by me at 10:00 and 2:25. Lesley fed them at 1:15. Before I came down to the computer lab I set up a new brine shrimp hatchery. Dr. L was not here today so we were on our own. Lesley looked up information on the NItrogen cycle that we were informed of yesterday and then briefed me on it. We then responded wit a MABYE to Dr. L's science fair question. For the remainder of the afternoon, Lesley uploaded an informational website onto the main page and I looked up more information on possible breeding errors that we could be making. Also, unfortunately the internet in the ZF lab is still down and needs maintenance. I plan to try and upload my pictures tonight onto Kodak.com and then to try and import them to my page. Cross your Fingers!

WEDNESDAY 2/6/08 The fish were fed at 9:15, 12, and 2:15. The internet is again up and running smoothly here in the ZF lab! Thank you Mr.D! Well today, I adjusted the temperature on the brine shrimp hatchery for maximum results. I cleaned up the lab, including cleaning off the sink area and the incuators. We also both updated our wikispace logbooks. To conclude the day, I read from the particle physics book. UNfortunately, last night I was unable to upload pictures but my sibling said he would try and help me with it tonight, so again, cross your fingers!

THURSDAY 2/7/08 The fish were fed at 9, 12,and 2:15. The internet is still running smoothly and JAmes brought us brine shrimp eggs and a big tub of Tetramin flakes! Unfortunately, he forgot to supply us with filter pads, so we will need to ask for those next week. Whoops! Also, all of the tanks have stable temperatures and all of the fish are healthy as can be expected!

FRIDAY 2/8/08 The fish were fed at 9 and 2:10 with brine shrimp. I cleaned up the lab some more, especially the sink area. Then we went to the computer lab downstairs so that we could both do our own work. I looked up articles on pubMed. To conclude the afternoon, we got excited for the upcoming weekend!
