Our outset fish choice was aqueduct catfish which turns out to have been a very good option for outdoor aquaponics here in key Florida. Channel catfish tin can have the heat but as well as tilapia yet they can also handle the cold and will fifty-fifty keep growing well below the lxx degree F h2o temp that normally slows tilapia downward. And so in a non tropical and non climate controlled situation, catfish are likely to grow simply every bit fast if not faster than tilapia.

Since flood and bleed aquaponics tends to bring the water temperatures closer to air temperatures faster, having fish that can handle the warm and cool extremes can be a do good. Channel Catfish certainly autumn into this category.

Only a couple points about catfish make them slightly less hardy than tilapia; their demand for slightly better aeration/water quality and their dislike of excessive treatment. They are nevertheless rather hardy fish and completely reasonable for Aquaponics.

Channel Catfish are also native to the eastern United States. Channel Catfish is one of the most farmed fish and much research has been done in the field of catfish feed. This makes finding commercial feed for them quite easy and is a large topic for Aquaponics.

I've mostly fed Aquapmax 4000 feed to both my Aqueduct Catfish and tilapia and that feed seems to provide practiced nutrient levels for the Aquaponics System and plants. I am still in search of alternative foods but oasis't found better yet. Catfish have a skillful feed conversion ratio (this means much of the food given is turned into meat rather than wasted.)

Channel Catfish take the benefit of getting BIG and this can mean less work to clean them to make a meal wen one fish will feed the whole family instead of having to clean lots of smaller fish. Aquaponic Catfish taste good and we have never experienced a "dirty" season from any of our Aquaponic fish. Tin can't get much fresher than eating the fish but yards and hours from where and when it was caught.
