A place to discuss aquaponics

our redclaw have stacked bread crates (make sure to put bricks on top, the crates float)

Do you have any pictures Jaymie?

Yep, some sort of mesh lid is on my will get around to that one day list

have a look in here http://backyardaquaponics.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=121292#p121292

And just how do your redclaw grow Miss Jaymie???

What have you been feeding them and how often?

Scott I went with Marron as they are less aggressive, but don't over crowd and have about 1 male to six females, have plenty of hides, and yes they would escape from Alcatraz so they have to be happy, don't feed them meat, we have what is called Marron Pellets here similar to chook pellets, 25kg bag was $27, but this will last 100 years, about 1 pellet each a week is all they eat

the redclaw are more Lord Axl's than mine. I shall leave him to tell of their up-keep

The only problem when stocking yabbies in separate compartments is getting the food to them. You also will find that there growth rates will be a lot slower.

those yabbie cells are a good idea... i think net pots could be used instead, i like the idea i my need to give that a go

Lightly blanched works too if you wish to save time. It's the only way Plecos will eat pumpkin - which they then love :-)

(blanching is the light boil vegies are often given, to increase their 'freezability' breaking cells and introducing water)

Yup, and they're a good indication of when your water's a bit off.

Scott, where did you end up getting your yabbies from?

I got my first bunch from Soladome - For a price!
The second lot from Monya (much better price).
If your coming to to the meet, ask Monya.

"Yup, and they're a good indication of when your water's a bit off."
If ther'e like gilgies they also wander when the population gets high.

Those crates on the previous page look like snowpea boxes.
