Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

Yeah, I agree with m3tal. Do they twitch around like the ones here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6chh-_5hAgg Personally the ones I've seen are only 1/4 the size of these.

Its been a while since I've posted here.

the system is still going great guns. the entire system has been running from my solar system for the past 8 months. 30min on - 30mins off.
I have the system stocked with only 8 trout and I have noticed that the water quality has dropped compared to same time last year. Last year i was able to stock this system with 20 or so before I started loosing conditions...
havn't got a photo of GB but will try to remember

Trout are looking very tasty.... Nice vid mate

Is that the skretting feed i got for ya?

if its the feed that Simon (aka bunybear) purchased then yes.

the trout have finally come around to hitting it hard. took them a while?? a couple of days of starvation sorted it out

Yep came across the same thing, Just changing feeds i reckon... my dog does it too if i move him from chum to anything else..... fussy bugger

Matty give it a week or so and they should start to show signs of pinker flesh. I've been harvesting a few over the last few weeks and the last lot were definitely pinker

pulled a couple of fish out today and smoked them.

Must admit they tasted much better then the last few lots that I've eaten.

this time I placed the cleaned trout into a brine of 6 cups of water, 6 table spoons of crushed salt, 2 table spoons of brown sugar & juice of 1 lemon for 1 1/2 hours.
Hot smoked for 30 minutes.

Nice... Smoked is the best way to have trout I reckon.

That is because you didn't sample the one I harvested last week EB, it was sweet as mmmm and sooo quick too!
