How long does it take Blue Gill to reach "plate" size. I am considering BG or Tilapia or Channel Cats as my first fish. I have some goldfish in the tank now, and they seem to be okay after 10 days.…Continue

TCLynx replied to Robert McClellan's discussion In greenhouse or not? in the group Florida Aquaponics"Well, I'm of the opinion that it just gets way to hot in a greenhouse here in summer so if you must have a greenhouse (even if you can completely remove the sides and open vents in the top, it will still be a bit too hot in a greenhouse here in…"
Lanza replied to Robert McClellan's discussion In greenhouse or not? in the group Florida Aquaponics"I'm just curious on greenhouses in florida, because I live in the northern part of florida and sometimes we do get pretty cold winter spikes. Not as cold as up north, freezing or anything, but enough to have temperature variation in your water…"

I'll sell them for $1 each but you will need to bring a container to transport them as well as some form of…"

How long does it take Blue Gill to reach "plate" size. I am considering BG or Tilapia or Channel Cats as my first fish. I have some goldfish in the tank now, and they seem to be okay after 10 days. Here's a pic of the system. I have many more plants now, and they are looking good as well. THX. See More
