Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

We are in the process of harvesting our trout (from 50g mid April to 480g yesterday!) from our swimming pool (just posted a photo in our member system thread) and making plans for the summer fish. We had barramundi last summer which went well, but we currently have 50 perch fingerlings (4 cm) in an IBC. We are not sure whether to keep them in the IBC and put them in the pool for this summer to grow out or whether they are still a bit small. We could put barramundi in again this summer and put the perch in for winter (or even next summer).
Does anyone have any advice on which is the best way to go? The perch seem quite ok in the IBC, but I am not sure how much they will grow over summer, and whether 50 in there will be too many. We do have another IBC so could split them if needed for the coming summer.

Trout have been such fun!!!

I'd leave the Perch in the IBC...
