Change in Behaviour

Expected change in behaviour as water temp hots up. Trout have been observed swimming near the surface and leaping across the Tank (T1). Swimming against the current produced by the water reentering the tank. Trout have rapidly decreased feeding.
Water temperature has increased over the last week due to the warmer daytime and mild nighttime temps. Water temp in Tanks 1-5 has increased to 20.

Tanks T3-5 are great and the increase in temp has increased the hunger and also the willingness to take commercial pellets (Silver Perch 2mm).

The Murray Cod continues to grow and has also begun to take commercial pellets (Silver Perch 2mm).

The system was backwashed (extended), rinsed and refilled with water from our rainwater tank.
