Awful News!

We are sorry to announce that this weekend was dismal for the tadpoles. We are down to five healthy tadpoles, the snail, the nymph and a few shrimp. This news was a real heartbreak to Mr. C who loves all animals. Our filter/aerator quit sometime during the weekend. We believe this had something to do with the downfall of our tank.

            Mr. C took out the aerator, put in gravel and filled the clay slope with rocks. Another teacher at our school let us in on the information that if the water is shallow it can help to speed along the lifecycle. We will be changing water more frequently and paying close attention to the health of our remaining friends.
