Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

hey guys i am going to boost my growth but i dont think my system will take the addition of 100 fish once they start growing anyone in brisbane want 50 silvers?

Where you getting them from Beeso? When would you want to do away with the 50 - from the start or a bit down the track?

ausyfish no prob about waiting a bit

I'll be getting my next lot from SEQFish Beeso - I have a some credit left with them.

they are talking sept oct though, ausyfish are good to go

Have you given these people a try Beeso

Forest has been using them and I am going to give them a try -but want to have a go at barra next - SP a lot cheaper than others

Didn't realise SEQ were out of fish altogether. I probably won't be ready with my big system till Sept October anyway - so will wait till then. I'm sure someone will be up for a purchase though Beeso.

How big are Ausyfish's SP's at the moment Beeso?

didn't get that far VB just established that they had any, works about $1.10 with post

I would consider getting 50 if they are advanced size die to the lateness in the season.

Beeso its unfortunate, Derek and forest got SP recently - could have added to their orders
Almost talked myself into helping out if no-one else steps forward (or share with someone else) - we in Brisbane need to get ourselves more organised each year both with fish and feed

I want to get a load of barra (when avail), give them a month to settle in and move them to the big tank, than get a batch of SP/jades and hold them in the sump tank til the barra are eaten

When do you think the Barra will be available Les?

As soon as I have a few more grow beds setup and the new tank hooked in, I will be ringing a few places to get an idea of availability and when - working on gathering info from fish farms end of July, gives me some time to work on a solar heater thingy as well.

Will then closely monitor water temps - will keep the forum posted

vb, Monya got his barra end of September, so looking to get them before then - end of August maybe...give a good 8-9 months growth

If it's no earlier than that then I'll definitely be in for some Les.
