My grandson has been telling me about Dr. Susan activities at his preschool all week.
"Today we celebrated his birthday."
At home his mama read Wish for a Fish to his brother and him.
A few years ago her daddy read One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish to her sister and her.
In honor of Dr. Seuss we counted trout in our tank today.
In Post 10 I signed off, Seeking More Fry. Now we've doubled our count to 21.
The fry swim so fast it takes a few tries to get an accurate number.
The fry are brown when they first swim up out of their hiding places.
They're about 1 inch long.
If you'd seen the newest to appear today you'd think it was happy to be free!
It darted fast to check out the surface of the water, then back to the gravel bed.
"They are swimming. Their fins I can see. When we look at them they start to scatter."
We noticed the fry later become silver and develop vertical marks on their sides called parr marks.
At this stage they are another quarter inch longer.
This student drew the silvery fry and showed the parr marks.
Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss
With Heart
