Some Like It Hot!

The Yr10 class has begun Fish,Yabbie and Prawn Anatomy. While gathering data/research on reproduction of Yabbies it was decided that our Yabbies need light stimulation (leaving the light on) to trick Yabbies into thinking that the days are growing longer and an increased in temperature (we were running the Yabbie Tank 250l at approx. 22C using aquarium heaters) we have now turn up the heat to 25C.
We will continue observations to see if these changes trigger reproduction.
