Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

Sorry to contradict you EB--in the US, you can get a pre-built system.

Yep, sorry Janet... I was just looking at the fact that he (or she) is in Aus, just down the road from me.....


Well, ok..... about 450km away.......

Gotta keep reminding myself how global things are now, especially this group.......

Edited :

In all honesty FP, you could make up something like above, probably better for the same price or less.

They do have another bigger model .....

Yeah alright..... Roz.... But then you could also say that this is an aquaponic system as well http://www.foundus.com/betta/betta.htm

Sure could.... ROFLMAO

mmmm ok then thanks guys

where can i get some silver perch??
i may need some in the next few weeks

Fishperson, I don't know enough Australian geography to help exactly, but Livefish.au ships, and there are some threads over in the fish part of the forum that can help you locate a local source of silver perch.

FP, thought people down south would have jumped in - F&F has been recommending kangaroo fish farm, a place around Sunbury Vic (don't have a link ), others are:
Ausyfish Childers Qld
Qld Native Fish Childers Qld

Both ship around Australia (I think)

yea well im way down south in the far corner of W.A. so dont whant anywhere to far away

PM Joel or TimC... might be able to help :wink

I haven't bought any silver perch yet. I was looking at livefish.com.au they were offering 25 SP for $63 in postage. Shipping fish to Albany from over east would be very interesting indeed.

It all depends how many you are after. If you need 50-100+ there is a guy in Hamel/Waroona that has set up shop called Total West Fisheries. The email is twfish (at) bigpond.net.au. It is a fishing farm but he sells fingerlings too. Unfortunately it is still a long haul up Albany highway for you to get there.

saweet thanks dudes
