Ivan -

How are your FT temps looking?

I'm in balmy Thailand at the moment, and find myself checking Perths temp ranges and pondering how my system is fairing in the heat! I have no one watching it, so I hope it's ticking along a-okay?!


Well fish tank temperature got to about 27degC... trouts were not happy...
I hope you don't have trouts in them, coz I would say they will be floating or sinking right about now... otherwise, they would likely be gone tomorrow...

The silvers aren't eating yet so I think it is a bit earlier for me to recommend. Plus they are not really considered cheap, but I just wanted a few to trial them... So goldfishes and possibly yabbies will be going in with them. Maybe black bream as well... found any BB yet??

Time for an update...

Peach grows in AP. In fact, my mandarin and lime are behind in growth...

Will have to see if they survive the cold in winter.

Hi Ivan,
Congrats on the peach crop, they look great.
My system is just ticking along quite nicely, I reckon I will have my first feed of SP in about 3 months, maybe sooner if they keep eating like they do. They are hitting the food hard these days. Koi and commets are also doing fine.
Kind regards, Skipd.

Well they taste good as well. Yeah, we are quite happy that the dwarf peach produced some good fruit. We did lose a few fruit earlier on due to overcrowding. Come winter we will need to do some pruning.

And hopefully I get my act together and finish my expansion, then hopefully we will have dwarf apples and maybe something else... fingers crossed...
