Emily really likes it, Angus is not so sure. He normally likes fish, maybe he is not keen because he has seen them swimming around....

Great stuff Stu.

Can I assume then that doing a batch of barra over the summer is do-able? Would you be able to push the fish harder if the system was cycled and running before the barra arrived?

Yesw to both Nova. Given a cycled system, feed them hard from the start, easy get to plate size within the boundaries of the season.

I'm working on getting up a few more GBs and a bigger tank to be ready to push the feed into a load of barra and not have to worry about HSM :shock:

Monya has set the standard....hope I can reach the bar also :thumbleft:

if not, then modify :bigsmurf:

steve we ate the 2 upside down fish tonight. They were equally delicious. I paid special attention to any weird gut abnormalities and compared them to fish that were swimming up the right way and there were no differences.
