#aquaponics #fish #DIYaquaponics In this video I discuss what makes a species of fish a good candidate to be raised in aquaponics. Does a "best fish" really exist?
Hi awesome video. Also i recently have come back into doing my own SMALL scale hydroponic setup but was wondering what fish would you recommend for a bin thats at most 25 to35 gallons that can comfortably survive with little to no maintenance. Also i live in Minnesota
Barramundi is a tropical fish, so you will need to maintain warm temperature year round. It is also a strong predator. They will cannibalize their young. You will need to accept some will be lost to predation, or you will need to implement some sort of size grading system. On a plus side, they are very delicious.
Thanks for another awesome video! What are your thoughts on the freshwater mussel, shrimp, and crayfish in aquaponic operations? I've read some articles that they might be a good addition to some operations.
How you you protect tilapia fry from either cannibalism by other fish or being sucked up by your SLO and taken to other parts of the system. Do you need to have a specifically created area for the tilapia to raise their fry until they're large enough to survive on their own?
Fews question that I need your advice with.. What to look out for when buying. How to know if the fingerlings/fry we are purchasing are of high quality not bad quality that will cause more issues later on down the line. How many causality should we be expecting if any? How do we know if the new fingerlings/fry we are about to spend our well earned ££money££ on are male/females? Rather than taking the breeders word on it. Steps to follow when transfering then into our system. How often do we change the water in our system/or not?...I've seen your video about testing PH adding iron for plants etc, so that's fine as long as we keep on top of the PH /keep on top of the iron/water looks clear/no algae/fishes are happy/greens are growing.. Job's a good'un'. How to know or steps to put in place to ensure both fishes and greens are healthy...Happy fish+Healthy leafy greens=£😍£ can I get an Amen.. Newbie into this, appoligies for all the questions since I'm about to spent my children's inheritance on this.
How big are the tanks you have? Where did you get them? I am looking into a home family set up but I definitely don’t want the cheap look of a IBC chop set up.
Im in a great location for rainbow trout. Just getting started. Have my own creek water supply. Any info or direction you could steer me towards would be greatly appreciated! Just for personal consumption.
In a commercial production, is the fish or the plant the main produce in an aquaponics system. If I plan to harvest tilapia and lettuce weekly, would aquaponics still be suitable?
Yes, but especially with fish, it takes a long time for them to get to size so you have to make sure you stagger properly. It’s easier to do with lettuce as that take 60 days vs 6 months.
Maybe your watertemp is to low. Feed them with carp feed - that suites them best. If they are not growing well, it can have one of the following reasons: - water temp too cold, the amount of fish in the tank ist to low, or the tank to big for the size of your fish, really bad water quality (but they tollerate really nearly everything). Feed them often with smaller amounts of fish feed. Use smaller pellets, ... If you cannot find out why they are not growing fast enough. Try to add pro-biotics to the water - it helps with a lot of things - also with the efficient digestion of the fishfeed.

Trout sounds interesting but definitely seems more difficult.
If I could raise rainbows it would be awesome.
Short sweet and to the point. You've got the right formula, so I suspect your channel will grow pretty quickly. Thanks for the info.
Thanks for the video, didn't know the fertilizer alone wasn't enough to keep it. Thanks for the info
The running water sound is one of the best options. It adds and fits the video.
It’s real too!
Great Content ....loving the channel
great needed content

Great achievement
Thank you!
And great video
Thank you

Barramundi lives in sault water.
@@cristianoangeletti4269they live in both. They are breed in salt water
Carp is very hardy, but Perch is good eating fish and does not have backbone issues that Carp does.
Any info on the barramundi hatchery ?
barramundi are a wild choice , i thought you could only get them in aussie (australia) I would like to try sleepy cod from aussie too
My understanding is Tilapia are rock solid hardy, but they also have the lowest nutritional value of all fish!
Tilapia is garbage fish. High cholesterol too.
They die at 50 degrees not good for cold climates

Thanks for another awesome video! What are your thoughts on the freshwater mussel, shrimp, and crayfish in aquaponic operations? I've read some articles that they might be a good addition to some operations.
Seen some guys do the shrimp, I’ve never tried them but I’m not oppose
Hard to scale for crustaceans. They are territorial and will cannibalise on each other

Great.
Tilapia is a great pick🙂
I’m going to make a little farm next to my koi pond to filter it
largemouth bass you can sell to asian groceries or to fishing ponds
My blue tilapia love eating duckweed. Wish I could grow it as fast as they eat it, but for now it is just a supplement to commercial fish food.
Right.. I have seen this before
Im in a great location for rainbow trout. Just getting started. Have my own creek water supply. Any info or direction you could steer me towards would be greatly appreciated! Just for personal consumption.
Thanks for the video. What is the temperature range that tilapia can survive in? Thanks
Survive? 55-95+. Thrive? 72-78. They will die as it gets close to 50, I’ve seen it.
@@NewAgrarian Thanks man! just found your channel a few days ago, one of the best, in my opinion. Subbed already.
I want to start a small aquaponics DIY. I need a mentor, can you help?
To the best of my knowledge, they prefer warmer temperature, so temperature above 25C (77F) is more favorable to them.
How to hatching thilapia fish
In a commercial production, is the fish or the plant the main produce in an aquaponics system. If I plan to harvest tilapia and lettuce weekly, would aquaponics still be suitable?
Yes, but especially with fish, it takes a long time for them to get to size so you have to make sure you stagger properly.
It’s easier to do with lettuce as that take 60 days vs 6 months.
Plants are the main product. Depends on how much fish you are harvesting.
Which is better to raise blue or nile? I curently have blue but thinking I want the nile for the size.
Nile seemed to grow faster in my experience
Ok how difficult is it to get a permit to have Tilapia fish ? Thanks so much.
Depends where you live
Will sucker fish help clean the water in the aquaponics system like they do with normal fish tank's?
I have seen systems with plecostomus, yes
Ser good day... ihave one question
A celiry plant is good for the fish for aquaponics...thnks for feedback???
It will grow yes
I do have tilapia fish they are not growing well what can I use to feed them so that they can grow
Maybe your watertemp is to low. Feed them with carp feed - that suites them best. If they are not growing well, it can have one of the following reasons: - water temp too cold, the amount of fish in the tank ist to low, or the tank to big for the size of your fish, really bad water quality (but they tollerate really nearly everything).

@@PeterNeudecker sir how to hatching process of tilapia fish sir
@@PeterNeudecker i need a help sir
Can it possible to grow habanero in aquaponics..?
Yes
i know a excellent one. Yet will not state it. ✊💚
Are Crappie a good choice?
Prob wouldn’t eat fish food
Big 🧠
Sorry your business didn't thrive.........
