Observations

  • 18 August 2020

    High park grenadier by Amy Watson

    The water was very murky - possibly with algae or aquatic plants? Also, I found the strip colour for PH did not align well with the comparative colours so was hard to read. Mine was pink but the colours on the strip were more orange/red.
