Chuckie Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 Hi What do you do with all the fish you produce? Also, what do you mean by GPK? That's not an abbreviation I have come across (probably because I haven't been into PKs until recently). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miha1967 Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 Welcome to the forum. Your aquaculture (mini) farm sounds very impressive. I used to work in an aquaculture lab, doing micro-algal cultures as food for the species we were cultivating. Here where I live now I didn't find work in this field so my husband suggested a few months ago that I should try to breed our yellow HM pet we found at lfs. Now I have a few hundred fry and spend more time with the bettas than with my family. Where about in Queensland do you live? I live in Port Douglas. I would be interested to see your drip system if possible. Cheers, Mihaela Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
