David,

Aquaponic systems typically have high costs to get started. A large potion the capital costs can be avoided if you have labor. For a prototype you need not be too concerned with buying fish food. As it appears to me now, the most appropriate way to think of it is as a learning experience. And, one of the important things to learn is how to best to feed the fish.
Best Regards
Greg
