Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

Do very little...nothing
cut back on your food, work out how many fish
or what your fish load is...feed needs to be accurate.
more pics when you can "P"

Ok pics easy...same ones I sent Kimberly Tafe this afternoon... ......

.need help from anywhere and everywhere really....yes i am about to over stock......but all the river fish are going to be taken back to near abouts I took them from and I will be allowing for deaths

Looks nice. The river fish will miss all the regular feeds.

...so, theres' a problem??

to bad, so sad......the gravey train is running out and the Aquarium is shut.....I can't even be into eating them......they are a great fish... but not for a BBQ....

where CR1, the yellow prawn basket, I just used to catch them with ?????

NO I was asking where, but was tonge in cheek

Sorry mate, I am jumpy like a prawn, must be the moon...

Kid you knot....good prices in freo for Tigers and king Prawns

I stuffed my own system around....playing with the parameters......Kimberly tafe is kind enough to do a water annalysis for me...very kind people

And I will restock with just Barra...might even have to participate in there on line aquaculture courses

Corrier Fisheries have a good price on prawns ATM for all those interested in a Chrissy feed

Well maybe it's not a bad thing in the end Jessy... get back to some basics... get rid of all the variables...

Just stock the Barra.... monitor the water... but more importantly... don't change anything... unless there is a very good reason to do so...

And never change more than one thing at a time... or change another thing ... until you have and are sure of the effects of the first change...

In the end, part of the beauty of aquaponics is the simplicity of it's natural balance... let your system find it's balance... and you'll find your own as well... ... AP isn't meant to be stressful...

simular words in trawling ROZ, change one thing at a time....always get a better gear to fishing ratio........Thanks for the words of wisdom

Playing around and wrecking it all is part of the fun. Now you know what to not do

its heart breaking and sould destroying.......I think we need a thread that states all the things what NOT to do...I could add at least 10 if not a shit load more

Nearly all of us have had big fish kills....even after being told what to do or not to do.

Nothing like the affect of doing it yourself to make you realize.

Good day all....its 1.48 am in the morning here in Westren Australia.....and I have just received 400 Barra......

shish..I am lost for words...ordered 400, I havent done a head count yet on losses but it aint pretty....Oh well....I won't be paying for this lot that is going to be for sure.

The guy packed like a 100 finerlings into a couple of litres of water...I could smell something was seriously wrong once the foam box lid was taken off

i have all three airators pumping hoping to not loose any more

Oh well maybe third time lucky at this rate....sometimes I hate living so remote

Hi,
I am a newbie to this whole plant thing BUT I know fish and have been keeping them for 10 years odd (admitedly on and off). Those fish are hollow bellied. Meaning they have either an internal parasite or they have been starved to make sure that they will be fine on the trip??! if I see fish like that in a tank I will not buy them as they are either sick or a b!tch to get back on food!!!
I would cut one or two open to see if anything is in their guts.....
Whatever you do...I agree... do not pay!
Cheers,
KarelM
PS...sorry to about the loss...but see the second part of my signature below for motivation!
