Living in the tropics and a place where it is impossible to buy good quality fish food, mosquitoe larvae are plentiful so a great source of protein for my tilapia. I use an empty grow bed with a bell siphon which is slow drip filled to provide the mosquitoes enough stagnant water to lay their eggs. A few days later this simple setup is filled with thousands of mosquitoe larvae. I then increase the water flow to trigger the bell siphon and they all get flushed into my fish tank. I also have a small solar light installed just above the fish tank which attracts insects at night. For greens I use fresh Moringa leaves and wild long coriander.

I thought about this method being used on a large scale to control Zika virus - basically running cisterns on timers to flush regularly to feed fish and removing all other breeding sites. Well done - now share your designs.

I keep several aquariums, and grow, forage or catch as much food for my aquatic friends, as possible. Besides the fact that I feel more comfortable about the ingredients, and minimizing unnecessary consumption, it is the only way that I can afford to be in the hobby. My number one suggestion would be to encourage green algae growth. It is an excellent source of nutrition for the critters, and rather effective nitrate scrubber. How much it would compete with your plants, would be a consideration though.

Hi I like your video, keep up the good work. I strongly recommend that you avoid gambusia as the fish of choice for low oxygen. While they are known as mosquito fish they are not that effective at eating the larvae (they are very effective at eating other fish eggs though) and if they somehow manage to get into the natural watershed, through leaks or during heavy rain events etc. they cause a great deal of damage to native fish population.
@AquaponicsRevolution5 жыл бұрын
Thanks Rich, excellent point, we must NEVER release those fish in any natural dam/river/lake... Rich would you recommend goldfish to regulate mosquito population or any other species? Thanks
@xa_wolfgaming1775 жыл бұрын
@@AquaponicsRevolution Not too sure. I do know that mosquitoes like to lay eggs in shallow still water, so if there is a way to break the surface tension of the water with a small trickle.or keep the duckweed in a half metre deep tank, mosquitoes are less likely to breed there. Hope that helps.

Hi Kathryn! Yes if you can install your setup in a greenhouse you will significatively increase the productivity of your ecosystem. More info in our Digital Aquaponics Manual “THE ART OF AQUAPONICS”! melbourneaquaponics.com.au/THE-ART-OF-AQUAPONICS Cheers Jonathan

I think goldfish are high oxygen consumption fish. You should put betta fish instead. It's a labyrinth fish and can breath into straight air in water surface
@AquaponicsRevolution6 жыл бұрын
Hi Wisnu, yes betta are very well adapted to low oxygen concentration. The fish I am referring to into this video is actually Gambusia also called Miskito fish. It's also really well adapted to low oxygen concentration. This is perfect for any "dead water" where you want to grow duck weed for your fish. Cheers

I'm in the design planning stage at the moment. we live in an apartment and are considering an indoor setup with tilapia, prawn, grow medium/bell syphon and probably duckweed as a supplement food source. Is there a chance duckweed can be cultivated on the surface of the aquarium with a bird net separating it from the fish as a opposed to using a separate sump tank to cultivate?
