Yeah, but these are being raise as food, not as ornamentals. The idea is to get them up to size as quickly as possible. Feeding less will postpone that, and result in smaller yields. I don't believe that to be a true statement. Here is a quote from an article posted to Langston Universities...

Thank you. But this is an 'alternative'. It is a way to feed the fish, sure, but does not answer the question that I was asking regarding pelletizing for floating feed, or presentation of pelletized feed so that the fish will take before sinking. Did you watch the embedded video to on...

That was my intention from the beginning. The plan was to harvest plants from the ponds to supplementally feed the chicken. I had two ponds, and introduced the fish to pond #2 after Water Hyacinth had mostly taken it over. Chickens loved the plants, but it didn't last long. It's been a few...

I have considered a 'lift net' similar to pictured below, but would prefer a solution other than manual separation. That said, I was planning on doing that for the purposes of animal protein in the chicken and fish feed.

A little background. I'm raising Tilapia in two 5x15m open air ponds. and it is beginning to get expensive buying fish food. The population is growing and so are the sizes of the fish. I have invested in a pelletizing machines for animal feed, (chicken, goat, etc.), and would like to be able...

A little background. I'm in Thailand, so it's warm all the time. Temps is not an issue. I'm raising Tilapia in two 5x15m open air ponds, not any kind of hydroponic situation. Well water is being pumped into both ponds during daylight hours. Solar, so no additional costs for water or...

Sorry. I've been away from the forums for a while. Life got in the way, what can I say. Thought I'd catch-up the group on what I found on these unknowns. First, I did manage to get the minnow trap and did trap a few for closer examination. I trapped daily for 1 week and found the following...

Yes it is, because I pulled that example off the internet. When I capture some I will post pictures at that time. Traps incoming. -sterling

No. She has Ponds. The neighbor raises Tilapia and Frogs for sale. She uses Duckweed, Water Hyacinth, and Water Lettuce to improve her water quality. When her pond gets over 90% covered she will harvest and usually mulches her garden. She heard I needed some and gave me a bushel basket of each...

Seems like a lot in just 2 weeks.

First, a little background. I have a new tilapia pond. Dug April 10, 2023. Released 8 Pladdies from my Pot Pond to keep mosquitos down on May 15, 2023. Multiple failed attempts to get duckweed started. Stocked with Tilapia fingerlings July 14, 2023. Over the last few days I have noticed several...
