Issue with Silver Perch Fingerlings- T2

A significant number of Silver Perch Fingerlings were found dead this morning (50+). It is unknown why the fish had died in such numbers? As a precaution against pathogens and attempt to reduce stress of the fish 1kg of Rock Salt (Uniodised) was added direct to T2. This will produce a bath for a period of time before the salt is dissipated throughout the recirculation system. Constant checking will occur of the condition of the water and the fish.

Corey's team fed all fish in the ARC and changed water in A7 Aquarium in the foyer. Decaying plant growth had soured the water and produced a white haze. This plant was removed.
