Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

When/if we catch this bug eyed individual, I think it may just be culled

Ya people often downplay culling fish... can help slow the spread of nastys very well.
Gonna eat 'im?

depends on what he looks like

true, not any nastys I can think of that can handle being cooked which is cool. If only it didn't kill da fish would be a good cure technique.

Thats why we need three settings on our AP systems.... ebb&flow, continuous and well done....

You my man need a war of the worlds tripod heat ray.

Maybe a bit too extreme... lol

well, Bugs was floating on the surface today. One eye was missing and the other was bugged out. Poor little jade He was about 20cm long and still slender.
We didn't weigh him, just chopped him up for the chooks

thats prob with a lot of bacterial/cancers that cause swellings and lumps and stuff.... they often reduce the appetite of the fish - less food means lowered immune resistance and more chance of disease getting the upper hand.
Iv'e often wondered about putting a fish on a drip.... you could keep it in a mess sort of bag so it couldn't dart off and rip it out. But ya be nice to feed them while treating them.
