My panasonic lumix was only a couple of hundred and works a treat. There are others around as well.
The cod will grow like crazy Bindy. A couple of mine are closing on 100mm already

Some of my Murray Cod seem to be growing already, they are quite fiesty little fishys.
I have not had a problem with them going off the crumble pellet feed yet, they sure do love the yabbie meat too though. I will try and refrain from feeding them too much flesh feed just yet, especially since it seems they take pellet feed just as well.
perhaps once they get a bit more size to them I will start to feed em more yabbie meat and fish flesh.
I would really like to keep them all growing at a constant even rate as much as possible at the moment to prevent one or two getting too big and eating the rest.

Planted out a few more things in the bare GB's yesterday, Basil seedlings, carrots seeds, in GB1. Corn seeds, beetroot seedlings in GB2. And Bean seedlings, habenaro chilli seedlings, and capsicum seeds, in GB3.

It seems that my thornless blackberry has really kicked the bucket, I'll leave it in incase it decides to come back next season, maybe root bound since it is still in a pot burried in the gravel, or maybe doesn't like the CF of the GB. I have a cranberry in one corner, the dead blackberry in another and just recently a blue berry in another corner and a passionfruit in the other.

Murray cod are doing well, we have had some cool weather this week so I have not been feeding them much since I figured they would not eat if the water temps were below 18C however they did actively feed at these temps on a number of days. It seems that they are not as fussy as SP.
I did notice one or two flashing the other day so that was another reason I backed off the feed.
The feed I am using is a crumble and part sinking/floating type so I think I was feeding a bit too much since there is a bit of build up on the tank floor. I have used my salinity tester and I am at 2.5ish ppt and my strawberries are doing really well at the moment so I am reluctant to add any more salt at this stage.

Well water temps back up to 20 today and MC feeding noticably more.

Ordered some spare diaphrams for my airpump a while back and got around to replacing all four in my air pump. I now have a huge amount of air movement again which is helping to move a bit of the uneaten food off the bottom of the tank.

Lost my little RF the other day, I am assuming through starvation, he looked very thin, had not grown in 12 months or so, and only fed on worms recently with warmer water but only when I remembered to feed them to him.

Woke up this morning and decided to give the MC a morning feed before leaving for work, walked around to hear bad noise coming from the sump to ran to the hose to start filling it again. I pulled out some mutant lettuce yesterday and inadvertantly knocked the feed to GB2 out of the GB, so lost a couple of hundred litres of water but the good thing is my fish tanks stay full and the yabbie tank stays half full, just the half sump runs dry. Everything okay this arvo, even my survivor trout in 3inchs of water is still quite happy!
Water temps the other day were low again, about 16C and still the MC loved to have a feed.

The cod are great fish I reckon. Not at all sooky like perch. Three of mine would be well over 100mm already and fat as.
