KMH+ZF+Week+11

MONDAY 3/3/08 Today, the fish were fed Tetramin flakes at 9, and 12 and frozen brine shrimp at 2. I also had setup another breeding tank this morning and we again yielded no results. My conjecture as to why this occurred is because the temperature significantly dropped in the tank. Tomorrow, when tru again, I plan to place the tank in the incubator so it remains a consistent temperature. I also checked my email and to see if there were any recent articles on PubMed, which there were not. I also set up a new brine shrimp hatchery and washed the 200 mL cylinders that we used to defrost the brine shrimp.

TUESDAY 3/4/08 Today the zebrafish were fed Tetramin flkaes at 9, 12, and 2. I set up a breeding tank with two male wildtype and two female albinos and we, yet again, yielded no results. All 6 tanks are at a stable temperature. I moved the solitary male wildtype from Tank #1 into Tank #5. I also added more water to the resevoir and Lesley filled up each tank with more water. I then checked my email and helped Lesley to compose one to send to Mrs. Jan Brunner, head of the Science Dept. I then atempted to upload pictures from my camera unto the computer and failed in this endeavour.

WEDNESDAY 3/5/08 Unfortunately, I will not be in class today. I am down in Bloomington, Indiana for a college visit and won't return until night fall.

THURSDAY and FRIDAY I was deathly ill with another ear infection....uh no......
