Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

winding down, way too busy with too many things. Something has to give.
Want some fish?

Thanks for the offer but I've still got 15 x 2kg+ in my original tank and another 30 at around 100mm in another tank growing up for when the last large one is eaten.
I tried one of the 2kg pickled as bismark herring would be made, after 4 days I tried a small piece and it was pretty good, cant wait for the week or more taste.

Merry Christmas

one of the remaining 4 BIG jades, with two, seemingly, tiny fish

(have to eat the fish because no one will take them off our hands and the tank is disintegrating)

5 years old? maybe 6

1774g, 45cm long

How did it taste?
My 2 year old ones now have a slight earthy taste which the earlier ones didnt.
Mind you I didnt purge them, too much trouble.

they have been purged, and they were yummy

Hi there. Are you still AP active?

nope, in the process of selling the growbeds. fish are all gone

there was too much happening in the rest of life and the AP got left behind.

Nooo! So sad! You will always have AP available wherever life takes you. I hope life's journey is treating you well. You are such a great contributor to this community, I hope you will drop in a few times a year and let us know you are okay!

Jaymie, Sorry to hear you're throwing in the towel. I am slowing down myself. Everything grew too fast, not necessarily the fish and plants. Would it be possible for you to explain how you laid out your first post on this thread with all the links? I'm still trying to get pictures uploaded.

Maybe I can help on that. See the little button that says "new topic". Select that button and you get a start a new topic screen. You get to name your topic and add some text to the body of the message. At the bottom are three boxes that you can put a photo in. But first you have to reduce the photo to 800 x 600 pixels. There is a box there also to add a comment about the pictures. After your pics are reduced then you can select them from the Choose a picture box. you can add three pictures on each post. after you add a picture you have to add the picture by selecting the add photo button. When you are done you do the submit. That should create your new topic called a thread here. On regular posts you can also get to the photo addition section by selecting the Full Editor at the bottom of the post screen. To add stuff like the signature those things are in the author profile at the top of the page. When you use the full editor you get to use emoticons also. Have fun learning the extras while doing the posts. Nice to have you hear in the AP business.

so yeah, time got away from us. work ramped up, we decided to get fit and now we do lots of trail running. Life got in the way.










It's been fun folks, thanks for all the laughs and love
