Update on the fish farm experiment!

Greetings all!

Well, it's finally warm enough here so we put 4 of our male Talapia into the pond and after 3 days they are still alive and swimming! Good thing! These guys are over 7 inches long and will just continue to grow like crazy being in the big pond!

On a sadder note tho, I decided to put 2 of the babies, now about 2 inches long in the large tank with the rest of our fish...They seemed to be doing well for most part of the day but after coming home from the market I had noticed that they were half eaten :( NOT making me very happy! BUT I do know now that They will have to stay in the nursery aquarium until we take the rest of the bigger fish outside to the pond....
So, They will have to wait to be transferred until that time.

We have 6 large males and 6 females and are hoping to have another clutch (?) of new babies soon! I have no idea what you would call the new "Fry". The rest of the larger ones will be a great dinner size by the Fall when we have decided to harvest them!

Still trying to get it together for the Hydoponics part. I know we will need to get it up and running soon! Would like to plant and start some of the seeds I got for Organic Bell Peppers! Im excited! I have orange, yellow, red and green! That will be a great start for our Hydoponics garden! And of course LOTS of heirloom tomatoes!

Well, Just wanted to give you an update! Hope all is well with you and yours!
Plant a garden or at least a pot or two of tomatoes!
Collect dry goods and canned items for your pantry and above all........PUT aside water!!!!


peace!
