we have had fish in the purge tank for weeks at times before we eat them

Weeks without feeding?

If you're not feeding them do you get by with just aerating (sp!) the water or do you still filter the water through plants/filter?

Questions questions questions!

Sorry Guys I never got around to weighing and photgraphing my perch today.... To busy Making a lovely sign for Bruce So you will all know which gate to stop at rather then driving past.... I am dropping it off tomorrow So i will hopefully be picking up 50 sleepy cod too, maybe another couple hundred Jades too

if I can talk the misses into it I need more fish to feed these bloody feeder fish to over 3000+++ I cant count the bloody randy things.. I guess it will have to be Wednesday that i get photos etc up here then.. ok til then
