Aquaponics Update – October 2014

Ridgetop Farm & Garden | Aquaponics Update October 2014

In the aquaponics system set up in our greenhouse, the tomatoes, tomatillos & tilapia are all doing fine.

FEEDING THE TILAPIA

Our fish have a few items in their diet. One thing we give them is Flock Raiser Crumbles. Yep, we’ve been feeding our fish chicken food. Sometimes ya just gotta use what you have around. And, we always have chicken feed around. The crumble is small – perfect for the small size of the tilapia when we first got them. It’s also high in protein. Now that the fish are bigger, we also feed them from a bag labeled “fish food.” They also get duck weed, which they love.
