dizzxy Yes, it's really sad to kill and eat living beings when we don't need to. We can happily live on a plant-based diet. I've been vegan for years now. Very healthy. Might consider ornamental fish for aquaponics, but basically I just want the plants for food.

They taste super smart too.

@@sarahvegangarden4822 cool story bruz, me personally I like eating more meat then plants, sure veggies and fruit are good but you need a balanced diet, and Vegans need a shit ton of Vitamins to keep up

@@dantemadden1533 Hi there! What vitamins do you get from dead animals? Vitamins A, B, C, D, E, K can all be obtained from plants. D3 is the one most people (of whatever diet) lack, and it's fed deliberately to farmed animals so meat-eaters get it from the meat. Might as well eat it directly without passing it through another digestive system first! Many athletes are vegan, including Ironman and other endurance athletes. We're all good and healthy, no worries on that score. 😊💚

@@sarahvegangarden4822 D3 is also found in fatty fish like Wild Salmon, Sardines and Halibut. You're typically not going to get that from muscle meat but rather fish and eggs. Plants also lack preformed Vitamin A retinol, Vitamin K2 MK4, omega-3s DHA and EPA and heme iron which is much better absorbed than non heme iron. (Plants also have less favorable amino acid profiles usually lacking BCAAs, methionine, glycine and taurine in meaningful amounts) The minerals and protein in plants are also lower quality due to poor absorption via anti nutrient content.

Cold water definitely kills fish what are you talking about. It's just as harmful as water that's too hot

This is true....100%

Good question

Gold fish, a couple small cats, and some plecos

Catfish and bluegill are a good combo, catfish are bottom feeders you can eat, while bluegill are top feeders you can’t really eat, but make a lot of fertilizer. I’d bet in a bigger tank you could house catfish and tilapia as well

@@jovanmcintyre7334 thats a load of bollocks mate. Bluegill are very much so edible and will eat at everything in the water column. Also, catfish are very predatory towards bluegill, especially channel cats.

@@Irishcream216 I know catfish can be predatory but even in a tank with a good supply of food? And yeah that guy doesn't know anything bluegill are delicious. Grew up catching and eating them.

the catfish one was weird to.he mentions you can eat catfish then list off a bunch of non edible catfish and one that would cost a few hundred dollars to get which is the zebra pleco.

Eric Mastenbrook can tapulia live above 100 deg f

I don't know the answer to that. I would really doubt it. I can't picture a situation in nature where the water temps would ever get that high

hey ,if anyone else needs to find out about aquaponics book try Aqua Recovery Tactics (aqua.RecoveryTactics.com ) ? Ive heard some interesting things about it and my mate got excellent results with it.

Cheesus goldfish need 29 gallons for 2 goldfish then an extra 10 gallons per extra fish.

Alexis was a dick about it, but it depends on the amount of fish, i would have also liked a standard "for 10, XX tank size recommended" but you can find that information once you select the fish, this is a great start

+Cheesus There are several factors in books on . One place I discovered that succeeds in merging these is the Fast track grower (check it out on google) without a doubt the no.1 plan i've seen. Check out all the awesome information .

ilovefunnyamv2nd how the hell was I a dick? That's my old channel you called a dick.

ilovefunnyamv2nd all I stated was a rule of thumb. I have been keeping fish for years. It's a general rule of thumb, but now 1 in a 29 gallons +10 gallons per extra is more so accepted within the goldfish community, and that's just for fancies. Single tails require more, starting at 55 gallons.

Samuel Epicurus Bluegill get around 10+ inches. at least the ones in my aunts pond. they are kinda like a more aggressive goldfish. they will kill ornamental fish though. they eat alot.

Various Curious I live and the tropics and we don't keep tilapia at that temperature.....they're usually at room temperature which is like between 26-28°C

tilapia are in the salton sea here in the California desert, so I think they can handle higher temps than that too

That's exactly what I came here to ask. I live in Florida, where talapia thrive, and our water can get up to 90 degrees Fahrenheit.

Tilapia like 70-80°F or slightly higher. Your aquaponics system will shut down at 50 F

ilovefunnyamv2nd if you raise an entire nest of them they can stay together and won't be aggressive to each other. so its possible

You know there's such thing as a divider. And also check for Betta tank used as aquaponics, it's a thing.

If you paid attention he clearly said NOT to put males together. He said do females but not LESS THAN 4. It's tough to comprehend. English is confusing.

I put 600 plus betta male and female in an IBC for my aquaponic tank together.

why not koi, herd the ones with certain coloring are worth allot

Wtf is Ozian, think you mean Aussie mate

crawdads would work.

interesting idea, sir.

I suppose it all depends on how the organism breaks down it food and whats the nutrient content of the waste product

Fresh water prawns, they taste very similar to shrimp. There’s giant varieties that can get up to a foot long!!!

Ive seen aquaponic rigs (videos) with mussels and oysters in the tank. But that's the final purifying tank before the water cycles back into the fish's tank. OR a self-contained fish/clam tank where the fish waste is filtered out by mussels and oysters in there with them. But that wouldn't let the waste cycle to the plants...

thx m8 ;)

northern cal ...Trout/// if warmer then perch , talapia , bass

DashSpud I agree with your statement but the title states "fish" not crustaceans

When I was able to keep Betta's, I kept one per fish bowl and they took care of one plant. They were great, except for occasionally nibbling on the roots.

Agreed. Trout need colder even, to avoid illnesses and breed properly. They also need currents. Difficult.

We catch them year around in Georgia. I know for fact that I have caught them in rivers and streams above 72 degrees Fahrenheit in the heat of the summer.

Some trout in Arizona have been bred to survive 88 F water....

Catfish eat their kin and even pop. They are like bacteria but in bigger form becouse they anything

Sturgeon needs more space is probably more usual in pay fishing lakes.

Depends on the species. I would look at where they're from.

I think the Tilapia eat their dead and cannabilize if there is overpopulation. Not 100 percent sure

Absolutely. You should also add lots of gravel on the bottom of the tank so their mates can give it a proper burial.

If you're growing a seaweed garden maybe. Saltwater fish have to live in salt water. Terrestrial food plants can't live in salt water.

why?

if you raise an entire nest of them together they won't attack each other and it will be fine.

Idk, if you've got a small tank (2.5 gallons to 5 gallons) and want to do aquaponics on a small scale, you can use bettas.

Jim ive bred bettas as well. mine don't fight. but if I separate the nest and reintroduced them. all hell breaks loose

For small systems, for lets say a science project they would be ok BUT they produce little waste

JC Studios - they did say to check to make sure the fish are legal in your area.

Water can freeze, just not solid.

@@hiilbillybackwoods (eyeroll) yes, I should have said as long as the water they are actually in doesn't freeze. The water at the top of the lake where they aren't swimming can freeze, the water in the lake in the next county can freeze, the water on mars can freeze. As long as the water they are physically in doesn't freeze they will be fine.

yungbluud444 nice

Pathos waste very bad unless you are talking about urine.

You are a waste.

No shit sherlock

@@dantemadden1533 Do you feel better now cursing out an old woman? Not everyone may be aware of the endangered status of the Murray Cod. My comment was for them...SHERLOCK.

You could, but they grow slowly so are not practical

but they are absolutely delicious

Brady Gross 😂😂 yes they are👍

Your worse enemy males will, yes but females can be kept in "betta sororities"

Gunnar Gervin catfish breaded with corneal.. Eat with Louisiana hot sauce... Its super normal in the south.

Gunnar Gervin catfish are not food for God's children

tim jones which cult says that?

Matt Bailey it's called the bible, read it sometime
