At last count there were 2 eggs, and I could only see 6 alevins. There must be 22 more alevins well-hidden. Even with the magnifying lens, that's all I can find. They're only one half to five eighths of an inch long.
Can you find the alevin? (It's a horizontal dark line between two yellow rocks.) The silvery background is the insulation that is around the tank to help the chiller cool the water to 52 degrees.
Looking closer, can you find four tiny trout? One is behind the orange rock. See the egg sacs of the three at the front. That's where they get their nourishment. The fish aren't swimming yet, just bouncing around on the gravel.
Here are two alevins. See their eyes.
The front one is now head first into the rocks. I have a feeling there are many hidden in a similar way.
Can you see why I have a hard time finding them to count?
