Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

i am in zone 7b, BSF are native and plentiful here in alamo land

i apologize for questioning the fly by night 8 day forum member with my measly 3 years of experience seeing people come, make threads and vanish without contribution

Actually in 8 days the op has on average posted more than you have in three years. Just on average though.
I think I was here for three months before I posted any thing.
I know that some people have been on this forum longer than you and not posted as much.
Time and post count does not make a good forum, welcome, friendly discussion does.

Maybe it's just you?

Thanks guys... :-)

Are there any updates to the progress or eta on results of the study?

Thanks,
brian

Hi Brian, not yet unfortunately... still trying to find some BSF donations

I went to a lot of expense years ago in getting the BSF composter expecting them to turn up just because I had provided exactly what they required. More fool me, I've now moved onto a more sure supply of food.
We have rabbits and hares aplenty in the paddocks surrounding our place. I let a dog or two off and they bring back fresh meat which I skin and gut. The guts go into a fine mesh bag which is suspended above the tank I want fed and flies blow all over it resulting in big fat maggots dropping into the tank, my silvers and catties love them. You just need to remove the attractant when the boss wants some lettuce or some such for lunch. She likes the results not the method used.

Hi i have plenty of bsfl, they introduced themselves about 9 months ago (Adelaide, SA) - pm me, happy to help.

Paul - thats brilliant! ill happily feed the maggots to the chooks that way even if the troutses dont like em!
