TILAPIA DONE!   :0(

We tried to sex the fish again to narrow down the group to one male and three females and in the process, something happened to the fish.  Can't really tell what it was, but the 4 that were left over stopped eating and died.  Don't know if they missed their friends or what, but the aquaponics experiment is over at less than an acre farm.

As the experiment wore on, it became obvious that it didn't fit in with the other animals raised here:  chickens, rabbits and quail.  Fish are super-sensitive and take a lot of specialized equipment.  Oh well, it was still fun trying and I learned a good bit about the fish.  I will be using that space in the basement to start a year-round hydroponic salad garden.

More on that as I get it going.
