Search For Eggs Begins

When the 5th grade team from MTS was designing their experiment, they thought briefly about where they might get minnow eggs.  Since many of the biological supply companies sell Minnows, we thought they would be able to help us out.  Calls to the companies this morning made us realize that minnow eggs may be hard to find by the time we needed to ship them for the fluids and compatibility test on 12/27.  There recommendation was Zebra fish which produce eggs on an almost daily basis.  However, the eggs develop and hatch in 48 hours.   Any delay in the shuttle launch at all would affect the experiment.  We determined that maybe a trip to Eddie’s Aquarium World would help.
