This week I collected water from the fish tank in the lab room. I’ve only tested it for chromium and pH, but soon I want to test it for Alkalinity as well. I’ve done research on zebrafish, which are the fish that live in Ms. Lyman’s fish tank. Here is the research I’ve so far collected, however I still need to find out which levels of chromium + alkalinity + pH are safe for them:
Zebrafish originate from the Ganges River in East India and Burma. Their diet includes organisms smaller than themselves. They usually serve as prey to bigger fish, small amphibians, mammals, or birds. Zebrafish are a very popular fish to use in scientific experiments because, according to the University of Oregon, ¨zebrafish embryos have become very popular worldwide as a means of understanding how not only fish, but all vertebrates including people, develop from the moment that sperm fertilizes an egg. The eggs are clear and develop outside of the mother's body, allowing scientists to watch a zebrafish egg grow into a newly formed fish under a microscope.¨
