  • Gorgeous healthy fish! Wow, I'll be looking at all your vids! Thanks!

  • @LibertyBooksAZ thank you, for your comment.

  • where can i learn all about fish farming i wanna build one so i can grow food and fish farm so i dont have to buy food anymore

  • @DMsLiveLife If you wanna learn about tilapia, there are many sites deal with this fish and quite easily search. Try google and you will be suprise at how much information you will get from the Internet.

  • If you want to avoid the ammonia spike after harvesting your plants, then use a plastic barrel fill 1/2 way with Bio Media, the type that floats of suspends in the water so you will have a really nice Bio Filter when there are fewer plants in your system, the filter I am telling you about is called: Moving Bed Filter, you can use K1 media or cut plastic straws about 1" long, but buying the media will be easier if you want to 1/2 a barred of Bio Media in the barrel.

  • @cubaniton74 Thanks for the comments, I've seen plastic straw in barrel use at one of Aquaponics installation here. I just don't know how much it will contribute to reducing the ammonia in water.

  • beautiful. and great idea to grow veggies and fish underneath. kudos to you

  • @saacbe i was told by a tilapia grower that you want approximately 2 gallons per fish to not overcrowd and that you want 75 to 85 degree F water temp. and with that and proper feed, you should have your fish up to market size in 9 months.

  • how many gallons is your tank and how many tilapias are kept inside? I intend to put 200 tilapias in a 250 gallon of tank and keep them inside until they're fully grown.. is that alright or will I crowd the tank? I heard 1.5lbs (approx. 0.68kg) for 1 gallon is good enough..what is your comment? please help me.
