I prescribed myself art therapy for PPA and PPD. I never thought I was good at art, but trying to be more open-minded. My daughter paints the backgrounds during tummy time too 🥰

Ice fishing for dinosaurs 🎣 Manitoba lake sturgeon are ANCIENT and largely unchanged for millions of years. This one is likely older than me, and was quickly released to grow even bigger! Annie is also haunted by giant “ice monsters” emerging from the floor now…

Baby lake trout are growing up! 80 days since we collected these fish as eggs, and they are almost ready to feed for the first time! 🐟🧪 @calebhasler.bsky.social

Baby lake trout are getting big! Their silver colorations are beginning to develop on the sides of their yolk-sacs. Not long now before they can feed on their own! 🧪🐟😭🥰

Some baby lake trout 🐟 for your afternoon! These larvae are from stressed moms (simulated catch-and-release angling events), and we hope to find out if that stress transfers to the offspring! Here, we are assessing how well the babies cope with a short chasing stress.

We’ve been raising lake trout from fertilized eggs and they are finally big enough for their new tanks! Each tank represents a different maternal stress treatment 🐟 🐟 🐟 @calebhasler.bsky.social
