TIC Update: More Fish Than Eggs

Almost all of the eggs have hatched. Now everyone is anxiously awaiting the alvein to use up all of their yolk sacs and swim-up. Once they swim-up the students will feed them a small pinch of food each day until the time comes to release them. Check out the picture below. Do you spot anything strange?

If you look closely you will see two fish connected at the belly forming a Y and two connected at the tail forming a V. Genetic mutations, like this, happen in nature and those individuals best suited for their environment survive.
