October 25th Update

The trout are getting bigger and more active every day! This enlarged picture of an alevin was taken last week and they are already looking larger and a little darker:

This picture is from today:

We are noticing some cloudiness in the tropical tank and our ammonia level is a little bit higher than we want, so were are going to add some "Nite Out" for the ammonia and keep an eye on it.  We are also going to cover the side of the tank just in case sunlight from the window is adding to the cloudiness.  Our pH in the trout tank was a little high, so we are adding some pH stabilizer.  While the trout are moving around a bit more, they are still mostly just laying around.  We found out that it is because in nature, they'd be hiding under the gravel to avoid predators and sunlight.  They think it is normal to just lay around...  Here is a video of our findings:
