Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

Hi,
So as the temp rises the fish will eat more and grow? Mine are about the same size as when I got them. What is the hottest the water can be ? I live in the desert and it reaches 120 F outside. How can I cool my water if it gets too hot?

What kind of fish?

Talapia blue fingerlings.

Over the summer my fish tank got over 100 and the fish seemed happy. They ate great. If the water gets too hot, you can either cover it, or do a water change. When it is 120F during the day what are the temps at night? Desert areas usually get very cool over night.

They grow fast if there is enough food and enough room for them. They grow slow if they are too crowded, aren't fed well, and also when it's cold because they don't like to eat when it's cold.
