Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

It does sound eerily like KP's dream

well I was thinking square tank, so much more engineering needed than a boring cylinder
and I don't have that much room 900,000L??? Wow!
the video on the site posted makes it look crap, but the photos look awesome!

Something like that would look good in the house.

well you'd need a decent house to do it justice

You're not saying my house is indecent are you Jaymie?

Damnit... should ahve used the 'poking beehive' smiley

Hi Michelle! If fish mad then you sure found good company!

I also used to have Oscars.... pugnaciously wonderful creatures!!!!.... If I rearranged rocks in their tank they would move them again!... Was so funny to watch. Now have tilapia. Best time of the day is sitting on the wall and feeding those greedy little babies.

Glad you found us. This is a great forum. One of the best. Know you'll be right at home. Welcome!

Thanks guys!
Well KudaPukat I've never eaten Tandanus, and I certainly couldn't eat "Bruce" as my kids have called him (or her LOL) grown quite fond of the little guy, he's quite cute I reckon, LOL, but I have heard that they are good eating and reckon they'd grow well where I am too, might have to consider them for my tanks!

Well I'll post a pic of my currents ornamental fish tanks, see if anyone can give me any ideas about how to go about using them (think it might be a bit difficult but hey!)[img][IMG]http://img208.imageshack.us/img208/2199/tankspr1.th.jpg[/img][/img]

Okay I don't know if I've done that right but we'll give it a go.

Chelle I love my Oscar, he's got sooooo much personality, and yup same as yours he decorates the tank they way that he wants LOL, and I love feeding him too, he'll take food out of my hand and he hasn't bitten me yet LOL (touch wood, )

Ok, they didn't work, will try again

Here you go Fraggle ... the tanks ...


And your little friend...



And welcome to the forum....

Thanks Rupert!

The little guy is actually a pic of another friends pleco he was trying to ID, LOL, figured he was a very young pterygoplichthys joselimaianus, pretty cute I thought!
I've got a gibby (well I think it's a gibby, patterning isn't quite right for a gibby, or for anything else for that matter, LOL)

Hi Fraggle can you punctuate that name
I think I will call him Jose

LOL, creative1, it certainly is bit of a mouthful.

My one like that one is a pterygoplichthys gibbiceps. Also known as a gibby, but my kids have named her Lally (well I actually don't know if it's a boy or a girl, but Lally sounds feminine, so she's a she)

Here's a couple of pics of my current fish, First one is Lally my gibby, 2nd one is Tank (he's got a girlfriend Tilly too) my Silver dollar, 3rd one is Okka my Oscar and 4th one is Bruce my tandanus. Lally is about 20cm, Tank is about 15cm, Okka is 26cm and Bruce is 20cm.
