Probably Really Nice fast growing Daisy!!

LOL

Okay, so I'm back to the cannabalism theory, and in this mornings case, 2 minutes later there wouldn't have been any of the little fish left. He was 80% eaten head first, so only about 15mm of the tail end was sticking out. I was late feeding them, and temp is up a bit, so they are super hungry. Took 4 handfuls of food to get them off the boil. Hangovers/lazy bacon and egg breakfasts and fishkeeping don't mix.

The pump for my solar pipe arrived yesterday, so I will set that up today, and grade the fish as soon as possible, as there are a few that are really a lot bigger than most (their punishment will be a certain early death at the hands of the chef!)

Hope that's not B247????? , Jaymie and I have a certain affinity with. <-B247

Nah, B226
.

I have upped the feed to keep them happy.

I think that barra will be smelly by the time it is returned,Hehehe

I think you need to train those big fish with a twist of lemon. It would be the humane thing to do.

Gee Stu, you had me really worried there!

I worked very briefly at a barra farm and we graded the fingerlings every day. That was really hard on the back.

Was that outcome based--SFH

The people where I got my barra (Paradise Aquafarm) also graded their fingerlings just about every day for the same reasons - no love loss between barra!

Just logged on after C1 has left on the homnward stretch. I will detox now after a sensational coupla days.
Barra are doing well, am feeding more often now, to try and keep them happy

Maybe we should rename his thread to "C1's Oz booze cruise" ?

I can... I think... think he will notice?

Do it, do it!

Have you opened the valve fully to your other tank Stu? Got the water circulating through the beds? this will cool things down a touch, and slow the little buggers down...
