As I posted on another thread gold fish are not the ideal fish for aquaponics especially if you are feeding gold fish pellets from the pet shop these are designed only to keep the fish alive that's all You need to feed your fish commercial fish food m so they crap a lot |

Any if those commercial foods is better you may need to slowly add it to there food they like now If the fish are small you also may need to grind it up a bit Are you adding seasol [not power feed] |

Yes im using seasol, have had to replant a few plants that seems to slow down the growth for a week or so. I have harvested the mint lime 5 times and the basil twise already. The lettus is just a trial for me and the tomatoes are also a trail. |

Every week he has to remove worm juice from the bottom tray. Is this juice a good natural fertilizer i could add to my system? Sent from my SM-G925I using Tapatalk |
