The fish have arrived in mail today to the classroom. They arrived in a styrofoam box with a heating pad against them to keep the marine animals alive in there trip. There are eight fish and one sea-duster,one crab and one sea anemone. The first thing to do to get them ready to enter the tank is to put the bags with the marine animals in the fish tank water so that the water within the bags can equal out in temperature as the water already in the tank. After about 10-20 min one by one a bag can be removed and they tops of the bags can be cut off. A little bit of the water from the tank is then added to the water in the bags and put back into the tank where it they will sit from about and hour. When the hour is up then each animal can be released into the tank.
