Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

I think this is the best video ads for AP on TV, finally showing to the world the possibilities and the results.
They have been out for a while and officially the inventor of portable farms, you can clearly see the quality of the veg.... shame they raise tilapia with it!

No subtitle available....just enjoy the video!

Great vid, bio. Really enjoyed that thanks.

A "shame" they raise Talapia with it? Just curious, why do you say that?

Talapia is a quick growing fish, good for business, good for marketing, good to eat.

Granted, I'll not be raising Talapia as I like other types of fish and too many people raise Talapia around here, and I like to be different and go my own way, but I'd still like to hear your opinion.

Great video by the way. They did a nice job with producing it. Thanks for sharing.

I wish there was a translated version. I hope this takes off.

It's in German and like the video material the text is also good and to the point. If I would have time I could translate it, but sorry, no time here.

I remember reading some papers with growth ratio comparison between trout and tilapia and trout was proven to be a better choice, good for business or marketing.....that depends entirely on your location and the market demand, good to eat....that depends entirely on your taste buds, I'm an Italian chef and as you can imagine I have fine taste (I've been eating my brook trout caviar lately! stripping time babe!)
I'm in no way opposing to tilapia as an option for AP, as long as you can tap in any of the point/market that seem to be of good interest to you.

They obviously have good partners/investors backing them up, I think the green house top has costed them something around €500.000. I also know Switzerland is not cheap (I' ve lived on the border for 20 year) but that must be an expensive tilapia fillet to pay back within 3 year!
