Fish Keeper Fry Platies

We were all very excited in year 3 to welcome our next group of fish; four Platies. The children worked well together to balance the fish in the tank whilst they were still inside their bag - it is important to acclimatise the fish to their new tank.
They then tested the water and checked the results against the chart. This all gets recorded by the children on our log sheet.
The children then cut open the bag and released the Platies to meet the Zebra Danios.

Year 3 are the proud owners of a tank and a selection of Zebra Danio fish!
The children have learned how to wash gravel, test the water levels and even plant the weeds ready for the fish.

Fish Keeper Fry - Year 3

Year 3 are excited to embark on our Fish Keeper Fry journey. We have signed up to Maidenhead Aquatic's Fish Keeper Fry's programme.

All the children will spend eight weeks setting up and looking after an aquarium with a variety of tropical fish being added over the programme. 

We will keep you updated with our journey here or you can view updates on Facebook and Instagram!
