They are growing!, originally uploaded by brunom.
A few months have past since we got these little Silver Perch fingerlings from LiveFish.com.au and look at them, they are growing!
It’s hard to judge the growth from this poor picture (yes, I have only myself to blame for this) however they are at least 13 cm in length already (the biggest ones maybe even more). They are all alive and active, which is quite a surprise taking into account that with the arrival of Zeek (our son) we have let the system grow a bit wild and paid very little attention to it.
Some time ago, we did a massive cleanup/trimming and got the whole set of grow beds pretty clean. I even disassembled all the pipes and cleaned them all however a nice aquaponics system needs a bit more attention. Despite all that, it’s thriving and we should be able to get 6 broccolis later on as well as tons of parsley and other things.
Here is a picture of our fish, in December 07, only about 6 months ago:
