I just started a couple months ago. Fresh water.  I like Cichlids the best so far lol

Anyone else?

The thread title is misleading, for I thought this was a thread about eating at the Y.

Goldfish are the tastiest....

I would reply to this, but I'm currently busy with the bacon thread.

I'm a saltwater fishy whore. Love dem colours

I thought it was about seafood  :D

Speaking about eating at the Y, what you've been up to MP?

 ... so sorry but making love to animals isn´t legal arround here.

Down here the term fishlover can mean more than just salty water critters ;P

I do like both kinds of fish ALOT :D

Me in Thailands greatest fishing lake near Bangkok.

Yes i love fish, every fish is c&r.

I love them well done, grilled or steamed with some toppings! Yummy!  ;D

That is one ugly fish. Beautiful catch, but ugly fish,

My dad's last walleye:

Large fish caught by wizened old men. Tastes of struggle. Delicious yummy struggle!

Ive had a fresh water Guppy Culture for about 2 years, they where in a 10 gallon aquarium and they bred every so often population always kept between 10 - 20, mothers eat hatchlings.

Recently I recieved a 50 gallon aquarium and I hope the population will grow to about 50 - 60

With guppies, just use the hatchery net you can buy at Wal_mart. Ups survival of the fry a whole lot!

Love eating fish, love raising fish, love eating at the Y. :)
 
I currently have a 55gal setup with cichlids.  If you live in the US, and don't want to spend an arm and a leg getting cichlids, then I recommend catching small (or large, your choice) sunfish.  Sunfish are *very* similar to cichlid in attitude, but are less picky about eating. :)  Sunfish just aren't as "pretty".   With sunfish, you can toss just about anything that you find creepin' and crawlin' in your basement that you find icky, and the sunfish (when it gets big enough) will love them all equally. :D

I don't particularly like catching, looking at, or eating fish but I've seriously considered setting up a backyard aquaponics system as part of an attempt at permaculture.

So far my research has been that it's not particularly economical.

>:O

IT is if you already have an in ground pool. (guy on doomsday preppers was raising chickens, duckweed, and tilapia in his pool)

How many external inputs was he using to make the system work?

it was self contained. he had a pump for recirculation, but otherwise it was self balancing. Chicken and fish poop fed the Duckweed and some other hydroponic crops, duckweed fed the tilapia, tilapia fed guys family of 3. Ill see if I can't find the clip for you.



Edit: Here is the clip on Nat Geo.

need a bitcoin Community to do something like this...lol

I can believe that he managed to balance the system using the solar energy that the duckweed obtains and using an external input in the form of chicken feed but I don't believe the family of three was obtaining a significant fraction of their daily calories on a sustained basis from the amount of tilapia that can be grown in a residential swimming pool that way.

Watch the video. I forgot a few things!

I personal know a woman with a duckweed farm, but I believe is raising it for fuel stock (biodiesel).

Another catch from the lake.

This thread is beginning to stink like my second girlfriend.

Hey...fresh fish never stinks.  ;D

There you go OD. that one is not as ugly. How much did it weigh?

Me? Uh i dont know, maybe somewhere around 70-80kg said by the guide.

I am impressed.  :D

^^
It's not the biggest catch, a also got sweetwater stingray from the river near Bangkok area. I loose one estimated to 200kg.

Warning, Childish moment in 3....2....1
