Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

Mon, you have done well...now would be the time to go over everything and look at how to improve (u did know I'm lookin' at barra neaxt )

Due to the large range in fish weight - would it be a good idea to grade and separate the fish as per size (using something like the AP divider )

Would this be better than increasing the number of fish

Temperature is another problem with barra - if kept above 25c, was the growth rate rapid.

Growbed area - did you have enough for the amount of fish - barra love eating and supposedly put on weight in proportion of feed consumed, so did u have enough veggies going to keep the nutes in check

Any other points - please add (Monya hasn't any fish to look after atm and so is lazing around all day )

Well done Stu - what's next, more of the same or maybe a couple hundred squid - I just love calamari !!

squid only live for about a year, so if they could be bred......they have good growth in the wild, and im sure even better in aquaculture or ap...if they could be bred

that and the fact that they are even incredibly hard to keep alive out of nature.............requiring cylindrical tanks for some reason

you want escape artists, these are your beasts! They can get out through a space that is the same size as their beak (mouth) anything bigger is a piece of cake!

octs are great for that too

Not to mention the damage they will do to local shipping if they do escape! (have to rename the thread "Monya's Kraken")
