Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

Just wondering if like in the wild the fish come 'on and off the chew' depending on things like moon phase and weather. My SP seem to have lost their appetite over the last 12 hours, which happens to coincide with a full moon and a significant drop in temperature and pressure due to a low pressure system passing though (with accompanied rain).

water test is fine, fish don't seem to have any marks or be behaving any differently.

Thanks
Matt

PS they are still eating, just not as much as they were.

I would say it has more to do with the temperature drop slowing their metabolism.

My SP are eating less too

Yep, just the temp drop.

OK thanks - glad I didn't get any Barra just yet!!!! Sure the temp drop may have effected more than just the barra's metabolism - how are other perth people's unheated barra doing?
