Zebrafish “Glo-Fish” breeding–babies available to SWAP
Thanks Melissa You know…you were one of the fortunate ones…now kids don’t even get to dissect very much until college. When I started teaching, I thought they’d all dissected as I did in high school, so I didn’t do as much…then, I find out that it’s a new expereince for them and they think dissection is cool LOL, in fact, the perch was one of the Vertebrate Zoology class’s favorite lab days.
I also try to do lots of trips–we did see the behind the scenes at the pittsburg aquarium….VERY COOL, and the largest skimmer I’ve ever seen!!! Really cool filtration, but standing above the shark tank (open top, could easily have fallen in) was a bit intimidating. The students got to see and do some amazing things that day. The PPG aquarium is worth the drive–GREAT leafy sea dragon exhibit, and I believe they are breeding them there now.
Too bad I only do rainbow trout in my research…when people first see the size of the trout testes, you can’t help but think “…how do they swim with those things?!” Seriously, for the size of body, the testis is HUGE in the salmonids! I’m sure that’d get a laugh, even at the college level.
Thanks for the comments… Amanda
