now thats a mix of fish

Now you just need a few plate sized fish to complete the BYAP deal - well done Jess

Awesome growth Jessy...You could charge tourist to walk through the maze..

HI all, any one for TOMATO's going cheap , cheap. Wish the chilli's would grow, then I could make some great sauces. A few picks for the enthusiast

Wow, well done - its nearly tomato season here, punnet of gros liz planted this morning

In anticipation to this Thurday nights arrival, of 200 Barramundi, I have enlisted the neighbourhood kids to give me a hand, in making a nursery net. In exchange, they could pick some tomatoes for there grandmoher.

This is trial net number 1

Here are two pic's taken 5 days apart. Good growth really, but its only going to get better soon Bring on the Barra

How big are the Barra going to be Jessy... and where from....

Didn't think you could get Barra up your way under 10Kg....

The Barramundi are comming from the Broome Tafe down Highway 1, to the Onslow turn off on the Greyhound Bus. Its a 166km round trip for us to go and pick them up at the turn off. They are so small 30 mm at the best. My Mangrove Jacks and inbred gold fish will eat them in a day Thats why the need for the nursery sort term net

What time you picking them up Jessy... and how long will they be on the bus before you get them ???

pick up at the turn off 10.15 pm, Tafe, says they are packing them with enough O2 for a while longer, I have 3 hours helping the fish intergrate into the system before having to go to work ...........why??? what are you thinking ROZ

Just thinking... you've still got a couple of hours to get home... after how ever long on the bus...

Was a bit worried that you could have problems with heat if it was through the day...

Seems that may not be as much of a problem.... and better to bed them in during the "cool" of the night....

Might still pay to take an icepack or two with you..... depends how hot they get on the bus on the way down....

And please.... resist the temptation to feed them... at least until the following evening...

Resist the need to feed, lol, ........ mate i have just enough time in my ETA just to get the fish sorted, out to work and home again. I need an automated feeder for my 4 cats , red cloud kelpie, and soon to be 250 fish

Keep the cats away from the fish... I suggest feeding the cats to the kelpie....

Damn... missed an obviously line there about the "cats"....
