| Yep culled the silvers to make way for trout which are in there now. I cycled this system without fish just because I thought it would cycle better at the time with Charlie carp and make the system more robust for the trout. |

The cheap(er) Chinese & Thai clay balls are more likely to float... at least initially....
But you shouldn't be seeing a significant rise and fall of the clay balls...

Ryan, at the new farm, are you planning to sell food fish much? Or are they more for you and the family and the fertilizer source for the plants?
If selling food fish, which varieties and how are you selling them? (live, whole on ice, or ?processed? if so how are you getting them processed?) |
