Getting Started with Aquaponics

Major things to consider:

  1. Where will you put it? Inside or outside?
  2. What do you want to grow? You can grow almost anything and our list of recommended fish. Some people start with goldfish or koi; others start right away with fish they can eat like tilapia (other fish such as Barramundi, Silver-Perch, Eel-tailed Catfish, Tandanus Catfish, Jade Perch, and Murray Cod can be grown). If you buy a kit, we will provide you with certificate for the fish from one of our special suppliers.
  3. Seedling starts or seeds? We have them both.
