Rev Posted April 18, 2007 LOl heres my aquaculture effort atm i collect water in drums all over the garden in each i put fish to eat mozzies air breathing ones like gourami or just hardy ones like guppies now they are overwintering in the greenhouse with some late test germinated lotus one day ill do better Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
teonanacatl Posted April 18, 2007 Yeah I like that idea :D His setup seems like more complex then would be needed. Surely a pond with drip system or nutrient film setup hooked up to the plants would be just as effective. If you dont want to use a pump you can use buckets on pullies lol. A good type of fish for aus would be catfish :D http://survivalplus.com/foods/page0007.htm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rev Posted April 18, 2007 (edited) Or Jade perch http://www2.dpi.qld.gov.au/fishweb/14076.html http://www.ausyfish.com/jade_perch.htm or if you have to even kissing gourami from the petshop get to 20cm and are raised in indonesia for eating where admitedly they prefer smaller fish Edited April 18, 2007 by Rev Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

plastid Posted April 20, 2007 Thanks, the jade perch sounds very suitable and edible. As for the catfish (and the guinea pig idea on the other thread) its hard enough to enjoy eating a handraised creature. Catfish make a squeaky noise when caught which I find freaky. The markets near me sell live marron and crayfish for ~$20 kg, I might give them a try too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
devance Posted May 2, 2007 http://www.recipezaar.com/recipes/tilapia Seems to be a nonfishy flavor. But never tried it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
devance Posted May 2, 2007 The Barcoo grunter, Scortum barcoo Sounds like a better idea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
devance Posted May 2, 2007 I not so sure with the drought conditions in the AUS anything but catfish might be the way of it. As a interesting aside is that clam and oyster farmers lease tide land . "blood on the half shell" / is the title of a book autobiography of jewish man that went to oregon and did so. The blood on the half shell was when he freaked out seeing his oysters[net ]\ turn red by filtering out the red blood cells of a nearby net catch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
