__May 8__- We did get our project approved. We are doing a Table Top Aquarium. Our plan is to bring in jars to put the fish in. We are forgetting to talk to our parents about the budget of $8.08. We want to know if the budget is okay with our parents and if we are going to spilt it equaly of not.

__May 19:__ So far, 2 out of 5 fish have died. one died today and one died over the weekend. Yesterday we started weighing the 4 fish, and today we are weighing 3 fish.

__May 21__: the tanks are getting pretty dirty so we are planning on cleaning them sometime this week. the 2 fish in the tank with no algae are jitterish and the gray fish in the tank with algae is not moving as much.

__May 22-__ Lesson learned: Researching really helps you learn how to do things. What happened: Another fish died What we expected: we expected that since we called petco, the fish would live alot longer, but they didnt.

Another fish died so we had some questions- 

Should we be moving the fish from place to place?  How often should we clean the fish tank?  What is the best environment for the fish?  What is the best type of water for the goldfish?

We called Petco and we got these answers-

Should we be moving the fish from place to place? -Causes Stress -temperature change causes stress - Cut out (moving place to place) healthier fish, happier fish (live longer)   How often should we clean the fish tank? Goldfish- 20 gallon tank they do not grow to the size of the tank, they just grow.

 What is the best environment for the fish?

 What is the best type of water for the goldfish? Water conditioner, 8-12 hours before tank removes heavy metals, chlorine

What happened: All of the fish in our make project have died, but our project is not over yet. We will now be making a video about how to take care of fish. What we expected: we expected that the fish would last longer than they did.

__May 28__- __Lesson learned__: research before you jump to conclusions. __What happened__: we did not research how to take care of fish, and none of them lasted as long as we expected. we also never got the decomposers for the one fish tank. __What we expected__: we expected that the fish in the decomposer tank would last longer than the fish in the tank with no decomposers.
