If you were thinking of taking aquatic science, then you should. At first, when I got into the class, I wasn’t really sure about staying in the class, but once I understood what we were learning in the class I found a liking to it. 

Getting to learn about the watersheds all around us with all the lakes, rivers and oceans and bow they do have a big part of where we live and what’s all around us. You’d be surprised about what

is in the water around us. Being able to learn about the organisms is really important, you get to see and learn about them. There are so many to count but it’s exciting to learn about these new things. 

First semester you learn about the wa- tersheds around you, about the organisms, endangered fish and a couple of other stuff as well.

Second semester is a lot better I personally think because you get to be in a group and have to buy a fish for your tank also having to feed and buy stuff for your tank. Trying to keep a fish alive for the whole semester is hard- er than you think. The class is easy, but only if you do all your work. 

While in the class you have to test the water to make sure your pH levels are good enough for the fish, but when you get a fish you can only get a certain type of fish because you have to remember that we can only support freshwater fish because saltwater fish are a bit harder to care of. The fishes that are approved to have in your tank are butterfly fish, angel fish, dalmatian molly, mollies, and guppy fish. Only one person in your group can have one beta fish because if you get two, they will only fight each other to the point they might each other, and that’s something you don’t want. 

If your fish dies then you’ll have to replace it because the fish that you buy are your responsibility you have to make sure the fish tank is clean and that you feed them everyday and that is all for a grade so take care of your fish. Taking aquatic science is fun, but always remember to do your work and stay focused for both yourself and your fish.

In conclusion, if you like fish and learning about all the bodies of water all around us then aquatic science is for you so good luck and DON’T FORGET TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR FISH!!!!
