Stupid weather, stupid fish....
Weather has gone cold again.
The Barra are once again isolated from the main AP system and require daily water changes and supplementary heating.
I was supposed to be going away this week..
Guess I'll stay at home and do odd jobs, instead of kicking back at a beach house.
Stupid weather, stupid fish. :cry:

yep, just when the silvers were starting to jump out of their skins for feed, the stupid weather goes cold again. So much for global *frack* warming... start of January and the hottest day forecast for the next week is 30. :roll: interesting that people will supplement heat for barra but not for silvers, whose ultimate temp for rapid growth is 27 degs :?:

I'm, worried enough about my next electricity bill just from heating the barra. Not going to heat the silvers as well.
If they are still eating - no heating :!:

Stu, how did your wood burning heater work out?

comment was made with no regard to costs :wink: looking at the growth rates rupert is getting in the mid 20's on his silvers (except the dead ones :blackeye: )

Wood heater is super effective up to 6000 litres, and holds the temp steady overnight at 10000 litres. We are going to add a second wetback with smaller diameter pipe and more of it before next winter.

Just spent half an hour sitting with a beer and watching the goings on in the yabby / goldfish pond.
Things I observed:

- Don't put four SP fingerlings in the goldfish pond. They are very skittish and freak out the goldies. ( Don't know how I am going to get them out!)
- Need more hides for the larger yabbies.
- Need (read want) a digital SLR with polarising filer.
- Loop siphons don't work properly with yabbies living in them :!:

Have you considered a Gas heater? What's the lowest you can set an instantaneous heater to. They're only afew hundred, and gas is HEAPS cheaper per kWh than electricity
