Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

Thanks in advance for your help,

55gal tank, 15 tillapia fry 15mm and below, filtered and timed cycle to two small grow beds all indoors. aquamax feed.

1. Aren't they supposed to eat from the floating fry food they only eat off the bottom. Will this affect them later? wont touch the duckweed.

2. How long is the poo supposed to continue stringing from the back of them? it looks like a long string. My fatty bert seems to be pooing normal (what i think is Normal)but the rest seem to keep the long string.

3. My runts look like they are eating but they don't seem to be growing?

Thanks for the advice been reading the posts but haven't seen anything related to these question thanks for your help.

i started my 1" tilapia on a sinking food (high protein aquamax grower) i think it was 52% protein, fry need high protein food.. mine did not start eating duckweed until they were 3 or 4 months old
