Just hatchery activities. Move them to concrete and earthen ponds post juvenile.

Yes they always bring their heads to the surface of the water, also when changing the water we only drain it halfway and then refill it again we don't drain the water in its entirety. On the issue of feeding, we feed them after every two hours with small quantity. Thanks for the tips.

Good day All,

Nice to see that we are talking about aquaponics.... I am currently working on a system... Growing lettuce for now with a few tomatoes. Gradually trying to expand it. The growth rate is very very impressive. Have same lettuce growing the field... The aquaponics one seems like it had some red Bull..... Lol

The idea is to deploy using available materials... Keep it cheap... . Though I'm working numbers to embark on a greenhouse for aquaponics.
