Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

This is one of the important threads I needed to read.
I am in Nova Scotia, Canada, and the climate is close to Main, and Minnesota. .
I was recently talking to a person who lives in New Brunswick, near the Maine boarder, who imported several blue tilapia.
He is selling to people who want them for aquaponics systems.
It works for him, because he has a very well insulated and heated greenhouse setup.
They will not work for me, as I need colder adaptable fish which this thread describes.
Like another person here, I want something that will eat anything, to save on fish feed, and can take the very cold water.
I probably will want to let the fish tank temperature drop to just above freezing in January, February, due to heating cost.

Probably carp.....

Yellow Perch will probably work for you there if they are legal for you to stock.
