Didnāt really see a good place for this, so itās farming of sortsā¦. If there is a better place, mods can move it please
So this year I decided to set up an aquaculture set of tanks, using several used food grade 275 gallon totes ( IBCās ) in looking for fishā¦ I decided on Tilapia, even though I have a limited grow seasonā¦ ) my www info says the blue tilapia are more resistant to cooler water, but, they will stop growing, and die, long before the water gets close to freezingā¦ I chose tilapia, because of the fast grow rate, and the way they tolerate density in the tanksā¦ this is my 1st venture into something like thisā¦ I got 100 supposed fingerlingsā¦. ( though I would have called them fry )ā¦ but they have more than tripled in size in the 3 weeks Iāve had them
Iām Doing some hydroponics of vegetables, for the kitchen, and growing duck weed, both as feed, and part of the filter
I thought about catfish, but Iām pretty happy with my choice, so farā¦
Anyone else growing their own fish to eat???
BTWā¦ the graded fingerlings I bought, were pretty expensiveā¦ and tilapia are supposedly easy to breed, so Iāll be holding back 3-4 from harvesting, and will be trying to breed my own, over the winter ( indoors) to raise next summer in my system
