If you have kids, you know that bath time is never easy. So imagine this: we recently gave three black sea bass freshwater baths. This helps maintain the health of this critically endangered species, but also involves a lot of heavy lifting, splashing and coordinated teamwork, according to our aquarists. These 3 have gained between 4 and 13 pounds since June; the largest is 210 pounds!
