Yesterday my husband and I worked until 2 am this morning on fixing up my breeder system. The larval tanks really weren't working that well. with the dividers in it it was not letting the water circulate enough for the heater to evenly heat up the water. I was always having heating issues with that part. The grow out portion of the system wasn't working out either, the tanks were too small to let the fish grow.
Here are some construction pictures.
Went to Home depot and found some nice 20 gallon Blue Round Tubs for just under $8 a piece. Perfect for hatching and rearing the fry.
then we had to empty the top two rows of tanks and put all the fish in buckets.
One new set of tanks for Breeders up.
And the finished product. Two new Shelves for the breeding pairs and some babies. Some are going to work with me soon.
Where the two tanks were on the floor now houses the Blue Round Tub and my rotifer bucket and my brine shrimp bucket.
Another update!
