Congrats on the babies Jaymie, hope they're doing well :]

Have you told them you're planning on devouring them btw [;

of course! we do Cat's little song and dance from Red Dwarf

LMAO!

I've heard for years about how fast radishes germinate. But 2 days?
I scattered the seeds last Sunday, these pics were taken on Wednesday.





beetroot is a tiny bit slower

Wow that's super fast, looks like you'll be picking them by next Wednesday.

I put the babies in the big tank today. They range in size from 2cm (so tiny) up to 8cm long (and about 3cm deep)



Here they are exploring the new digs. Up the back, behind the overly curious big kids




We also changed over the rack that supports the little growbed on the quarantine tank.



A couple of weeks ago we re-plumbed all the delivery system to the growbeds. It's working really well. I also put a blue drum under each bed for duck weed and azolla growing. The light is a bit low, but they are ticking along nicely.

Hi Jamie, do you put your baby fish in with your big fish when they reach a specific size. Is that correct? because i would have thought the big ones would eat the small ones.

Sorry Jamie, obviously you do. Just watched the video

Jade perch don't eat the babies. Feeding time this afternoon was possibly a big learning experience for the babies. There are about 70 big fish and 325 babies. The big kids barge all over the joint for food, the littlies will have to compete.

There was no specific size, just a 2 week quarantine after they arrived here.

I had a tilapia mama eat up about 40 off teeny tiney babies that were about a centimeter or two long but left the one inch one alone :[

that's no good Abdul

Is Jaymie okay?

Yeah... just a bit water-logged... and probably suffering from cabin fever...
