Aquaponics
If you are looking to grow rich vegetables and other plants- fish by products in the water such as ammonia and nitrogen are very beneficial. You may want to consider a few choices in fish. With a sustainable aquaponics system you can harvest fish in addition to your plants; provided they have the space and food to reproduce and grow.
It is important to note that if you are trying to reach a certain amount of waste product in your system- the young fish you first stock will grow and continue to expel larger amounts of waste as they grow. It may take more fish to start up; frequent water testing and early harvesting to control your ammonia levels to maintain a healthy system balance for your aquaponics system.
Different Fish have different needs for an example Tilapia can only tolerate water above 60 degrees; while they can tolerate higher levels of ammonia in water than Bluegill and Catfish. Many fish can be chosen to supply the nutrients for your aquaponics system; Tilapia, Catfish, Goldfish, Tadpoles, Crayfish & snails, Hybrid Bluegill or Bluegill are the most common aquatic species used. Predator fish such as Bass can be cannibalistic, aggressive in close-quarters, hard to pellet feed and when introducing feeder fish they tend to eat everything at once; however the harvest on Bass is larger.

Feel free to give us a call and we can suggest the fish that may be best suited for your aquaponics system, your needs and situation. We have many years of experience with many fresh and saltwater fish and we hope to share what we know as well as welcome new aquaculture enthusiasts into our community.
