The odds in Russian roulette are 1 in 6 every go Stu as you spin on every go. Plus with well maintained guns the weight of the bullet effects the odds in the players favour. So perhaps the analogy is ok

I found this on a tilapia raising site. Quote: Critical Point: Never ever put tilapia in a system that has been occupied by snails or goldfish. The guy who tells you different only won his last turn at Russian Roulette. Snails and Goldfish carry parasites that are foreign to tilapia and will kill them. You may get away with it a few times, but eventually the odds will catch up with you. It goes without saying, never buy your livestock from a hatchery that offers snails or goldfish either. Once these parasites have found refuge in your system, it will need to be completely sanitized to remove them. But all the experienced aquaponics folks seem OK with using goldfish to cycle an aquaponics system, without any sterilization or UV use. Also this: Quote: Aquaponics Point: You are running an aquaponics system to grow vegetables, not a fish sewage treatment plant. Do not allow any solid wastes to enter your grow beds. Always use a settling tank or swirl filter to remove as many undissolved solid particles as you can, before they make it to your plants. But solid waste is eaten by the redworms. So is this website just goofy? http://lakewaytilapia.com |

I can't answer this except to agree that many people have snails in their systems and many people run goldfish and then tilapia in their systems and the majority of people that do so live in America. This would suggest that at best the author is exaggerating since in Russian roulette you only get to pull the trigger 6 times if you are lucky. More likely the author is attempting to inflate a risk to advance the credibility and authority.

You are operating a fish sewage treatment plant that is the whole point of a fully integrated system. ITs the processing of the waste both solids and dissolved which drives the whole system. While you don't have to leave solids in you certainly don't have to take them out and many people have been running solids into their GBs for years.
